Welcome to this rather ‘Lifestyle’ focused issue of Zips It Up.
Yes, we concentrate on what’s happening in the worldof “fashion and lifestyle” this week, rather than the latest shapes and colours on the high-street.
I wanted to kick off with Modest fashion brand Verona Collection,which has just launched on Asos.The new range features hijabs and abayas in on-trend styles, in all sizes. TheVerona Collectionspecialises in modest fashion.
Modest fashion, refers to clothing that is on-trend, yet relatively “covering-up” for reasons of faith, religion or personal preference. It has not been commonly recognised within the fashion industry. Until now.
Initially launched in 2015 in the US, the brand aims to offer modest fashion at a reasonable price. Verona Collection’s Director Hassan Mawjisays: ‘Our partnership with ASOS marks a big milestone for Verona and the modest fashion industry – we’ve carefully curated this collection with ASOS and we’re excited for the opportunities this opens up’.
The collection, which is available now includes a variety of hijabs, abayas, modest tops, dresses and trousers. With designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY and Dolce & Gabbanahaving embraced modest fashion in recent years, it was about time the British high-street caught up.
I’m loving this and looking forward to seeing more from similar collections becoming the mainstream. In 2019, we embrace all shapes, all genders and all religions.
Onto this week’s instalment, and this time round we investigate the Kylie Jenner Lip Trend, plus how to de-clutter your house with the help of Mari Kondaand a subject that’s hard to escape this weekend – chocolate.We give you the most fashionable and expensivechocolate Easter Eggs out there this weekend.
Happy Passover, Easter & Holidays to you all.
