1. WHAT IS MALIKAH FESTIVAL?
It's a celebration of fashion design and women who dress modestly. The main event is a free, family-friendly show and Eid Bazaar on May 6. There's also a private, Both will feature Spring lines from local and global modest designers.

Our models and team represent the diversity of Redmond and a range of modesty perspectives. Learn more in the 'Fashion Diplomacy' segment, at Malikah Festival.
4. WHY MODEST FASHION?
We created Malikah Festival to share the beauty, elegance and diversity of modest fashion with the general public. We also want to reduce negative, inaccurate stereotypes about women who dress modestly.
