Ikram Abdi Omar hit the red carpet for The Fashion Awards 2019 held at Royal Albert Hall on Monday (December 2) in London.
The model is part of a number young women who want more than the traditional abaya, which has sparked rise of modest fashion, specifically in the case of young religious women.
Modest fashion is about covering yourself so as not to show your figure, but that doesn’t mean it has to be bulky or ugly.
The up-and-coming model teamed with up-and-coming London-based Couture designer, Ferona, whose beaded strapless dress and shrug, was made modest by Ikram’s simple addition of a long-sleeve top.
The silhouette is slight nipped at the waist, otherwise this would be deemed as a column dress.
From the neck up, Ikram is just as beautiful from the neck down.

She is so beautiful. I just don’t like the shoes.
Love it! If you didn’t post the book look version (which is beautiful) I would not have figured it wasn’t intended with the long sleeves.
With the long sleeve top underneath, it makes the dress and shrug look like armour, which I’m kinda loving. She looks strong and beautiful.
Dress is lovely, as is goal of inclusiveness!
The two piece is nice. I like the beading. I could picture Anna Wintour or Naomi Watts in this. Ikram should have worn a navy sweater rather than black.
I’ve never heard of this model before but she is absolutely beautiful. The dress is okay in both the modest and (I guess the other word is) immodest versions though I do like the immodest version better. I think I would have like the modest version more with a different color top and not the basic black under the dress. The shoes are not good.
She’s modeled for Burberry
Its fine. I find it much more appealing in the lookbook.

Very nice and she has the height to carry the dress.
