Unveiling rights

Abstract

Since 2015 the term Modest fashion has been used to define a women fashion trend. For some Muslim women Modest Dressing means empowerment. Well-known fashion brands produce collections, a business worth 250 billion dollars a year. However, Modest fashion is an ambiguous, “cynical” concept. Rights and equal opportunities are at a serious risk. It is dangerous to let trendy brands codify what modest or immodest dressing is, how much of less skin-revealing clothes is a safe pass to public life. The time has come for an open-minded debate: it is time to change course.
