Net-A-Porter tappeds a Kuwaiti blogger to take part in its modest-friendly new campaign.
First Nike debuted a sports-friendly hijab, and now another huge brand is targeting the Middle Eastern customer with its newest launch.
Global online retailer Net-A-Porter has just released its new Spring/Summer 2017 campaign, its first dedicated to this region.
The luxury e-tailer brought in Kuwaiti blogger Ascia Al-Faraj for the project, who modelled a variety of modest looks during a London-based shoot.

“Creating this kind of recognition on an international scale is going to create a huge, positive impact and I’m honoured to be part of this campaign,” said Al-Faraj on the month-long project.
Net-A-Porter joins a growing list of retailers targeting the Middle East with modest fashion, with Muslim shoppers currently spending an estimated US$230 billion a year on clothes.
