LONDON, March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
The Modist (http://www.themodist.com), the first global online destination for luxury modest fashion, launches 8th March, 2017. Shipping to over 100 countries, it is dedicated to women who dress to express their style in a contemporary, fashionable yet modest manner. The offering provides a meticulously curated, high fashion platform for women whose personal dressing choices span all ages, faiths, cultures and ethnicities.
Conceived by Ghizlan Guenez, CEO and Founder, The Modist provides a destination for like-minded women who want in-season, luxury fashion choices while respecting the context of their personal style.
The Modist launches with a selection of over 75 of the world's leading ready-to-wear and accessories brands including Marni, Alberta Ferretti, Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou amongst others with further designers confirmed for PF17.
