11 - Hafsa Lodi - Modest Fashion: Money, Politics, and Style

The Localist Pakistan Podcast

Sitting down with Hafsa, was pretty much "Fashion 101" for us. She talked to us about how and why the modest fashion movement has hit the mainstream, with some of the world's top designers making a play for the Muslim consumer's wallet. We also talked about the political and cultural implications.

Beyond modest fashion, we also talked about what motivated her to write the new book, Modesty: A Fashion Paradox, as well as the creative process behind it.

Hafsa Lodi is a Pakistani-American journalist based in the UAE. She has a background in journalism and Islamic Law, as well as a keen interest in fashion. She writes for a number of publications, and focuses on the politics and culture behind fashion.
