The IFDC, or Islamic Fashion & Design Council, is releasing weekly vlogs on YouTube. Click here to see the short videos hosted by the organisation's chairwoman Alia Khan. The vingettes will focus on a broad range of subjects from conservative fashion, modest styling tips and makeup to work, personal and relationship issues. Eventually, say the IFDC team, there will be a facility allowing viewers to submit questions and comments that will be tackled in the show.

“We believe that every community has a beautiful characteristic that its people are known for.” she says “In Islam, that characteristic is modesty. IFDC is often approached by people who speak about their journey and we’ve learned about their challenges and successes within the modest way. Now, life is about to get a whole lot more exciting! We just had to write The Modest Chapter series to share the richness of possibilities.”
