Proving that modesty is the new elegance, Yas Mall, the largest mall in Abu Dhabi and leading retailer hub for Yas Island, is launching the first ever Modest Fashion Weekend from 7-9 December. Highlighting its incredible range of retailers, with everything from inspirational catwalks from Debenhams, H&M, Marks & Spencer and House of Fraser and many more, trendy styling workshops, and an exclusive fashion lounge with personal stylists and photo shoots, Yas Mall's Modest Fashion Weekend has all the key pieces women need to embrace this timeless trend, proving that you can cover up AND be super stylish!

This conservative fashion trend is taking the industry by storm. As the name suggests, modest-wear is clothing that covers but still brings an individual's personality to life. Today, more and more global fashion houses, such as DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and Zara, have brought longer hemlines and sleeves to their collections. Yas Mall's strong fashion portfolio, with over 370 outlets, makes it the perfect creator of a modest fashion event, as the weekend will include new conservative collections of Yas Mall's diverse range of retailers.

For the Modest Fashion Weekend, Yas Mall has partnered with ITP Publishing enabling the most fashion-forward editors from Grazia Middle East and Ahlan! Arabic to curate breath-taking catwalk shows from Yas Mall fashion brands. The fashion shows will celebrate the beauty of concealing clothing and inspire women to try new styles from participating retailers including Debenhams, H&M, Marks & Spencer and House of Fraser

For those looking to update their style, experienced stylists at Grazia's Style Shop will be on-hand to arm them with a shopping list and details of which stores to visit. Once they have chosen their new looks, The Cosmopolitan Beauty Bar, decked with beauty experts, will help ladies look their best with life-changing make-overs, sophisticated hair-styling, and modest manicures.

Yas Mall has also collaborated with Ahlan! Arabic to offer a professional photo studio, complete with a talented photographer, so that each guest can become a front cover star, receiving the personalized copy of the magazine as a take-away gift. As a 360-well-being event, the Modest Fashion Weekend will feature the UAE's first water-only bar, H20 Eau Lounge, stocked with a selection of complimentary water, in partnership with Women's Health Middle East..  

Shatha Al Romaithy, Marketing Manager of Yas Mall, commented: "Although modest fashion has always been a key trend for this region, we are experiencing more and more women dressing conservatively to be noticed for their unique sense of style. Therefore, we have created the Modest Fashion Weekend to champion concealing clothing that focuses purely on the personality of the individual. With the support of our incredible retailers, the Modest Fashion Weekend will have all the tools to inspire and empower women to dress with glamour and edge, through its amazing array of catwalk shows, styling events, and pop-up shops.''
