LOUIS VUITTON- Series 3 London

I went to the Louis Vuitton Exhibition where I got to explore and see the world of fashion in a different form. 


Fashion was shown in a short film


Details within Photography




I always like taking notes on what I see and how I could use it for my own advantage.


Even if you look at a different form of Media and Fashion that may not interest you personally, their will always be something that will be eye catching that you never thought would catch your eye.




Black Crystal Ring- Swarvoski




This was the most interesting part of the exhibition because I got to see a short film based on how garments was made

Wearing a Khaki Mid knitwear dress from Forever 21 with black tights and a red and silver statement necklace from Selfridges and to finish the look I decided to wear a black waist coat from Oasis.




Thank you to one of my best friends that I have been friends with over 10 years that came along to the exhibition as it was her first time attending one and not only supported me but also was so engaged and interested in experiencing a new field of skills and looking at the Fashion Industry in a different way.

Model as a Muslimah, let me take the risk.

So I asked 8 different people "what is the first thing or word you think of when a 'Muslim Girl' says the word modelling?"

'Naima' said: "I think empowering, Traditional Beauty"
'Zack' said: "Brave"
'Ibadat' said: "Normal, I don't really think any different if it was a Christian model or Muslim Model"
'Soraya' said: "Modelling to me means someone that knows the value of life therefore can portray it in there image. Its an Art"
'Lina' said: "As long as she is respectful,genuine and real she will have my support as one of my favorite Muslim models, I'll be proud of that"
'Sobhan' said:  "Its not Modest at all'
'Aseea' said: "Nothing"
'Shamim' said: "Change"

I was really Surprised that I got positive comments based on a Muslim becoming a model. This also gave me the chance to have a feel of negativity. This made me aware of Race, Culture, Religion and most importantly Identity.

NO ONE SHOULD TELL YOU WHO TO BE'


"LUXE"
The past few weeks of being nervous and insecure about my appearance has been a real struggle for me and for my health but then having the chance to be the spotlight of the day was INCREDIBLE.

I have always had passion for modelling as I started of as a Fashion Blogger but I never went through with the idea because of people disrespecting the idea of modelling as it was  claimed as 'Bad' and 'Inappropriate' but then I came to a point where I realised people's comments was Irrelevant.

Please take a seat and pose.


If you have a dream or an idea that you want to achieve but your afraid, then your not as passionate as you thought. 


Identity.


ASOS- Floral Trousers
Oasis- Black Chiffon Top
Oasis- Black Waist Coat
River Island- Maroon Loafers 
Oasis- Nude Necklace
House of Fraser- Hat


Im in love with exploring and trying new things. I wish I could see more Individuals around the globe work even harder than usual.

Its not wrong to live your dreams,become a well known Muslim Icon, you could change the way the public NOT only view you but view Muslims.


"I dont have to hide my failure, I don't have to hide my sin"


Faith.


If you have a clean heart and you do everything by the book, is it really that bad to take the next step to your dreams?


Its going to be a tough journey

Horror inspired makeup shoot

Horror inspired makeup shoot, focusing on the aesthetics of the horror genre in film and media in contrast to the way women are portrayed in line with the male gaze theory. I was delighted to model for this piece of work for a great and talented Photographer: SRIMAH KHAN

Necklace: Oasis
 Lipstick: Inglot

 I was used as a model to help capture the aspects of Photography and Styling using makeup.




 It was such a great opportunity for me to be included as a model for a project which could be related to style through the form of media.


I guess everyone has two different appearances.
Its amazing when you look in depth of a piece of work, that you automatically get a vibe of what its trying to communicate.

Mariam Seddiq - Afghan Inspiration

I ordered an amazing Neck Piece by Mariam Seddiq,that was shipped out for me all the way from Sydney Australia. Her designs are full of light and culture and it makes you come back to Afghan Culture and look more closer at the detail.


I wore the $299 Neck Piece with a plain sleeve dress from ASOS 



 I uploaded a picture on my Instagram Page from the evening I wore Mariam Seddiq's stunning piece. I never thought that she will come across my upload , I was delighted that I got noticed by such an Incredible Designer.


I was even more honored that she commented and made me seem more passionate about how well I rocked It that evening,


I decided to go for the Rich Elegant look to make the jewels of the Neck Piece stand out against the black as the combination went really well together.


The 'Ziggy' Neck Piece has to be one of my favourite from Mariam Seddiq's collection.

"SILVER, BLACK AND CLEAR CRYSTAL BEADS HAND BEADED ONTO SOFT FELT. THIS IS MADE WITH LOVE AND IS A WORK OF ART. A PIECE THAT WILL GO FROM DAY TO NIGHT. THROW IT OVER A FRESH COTTON SINGLET AND THEN BY NIGHT WITH A GOWN-Mariam Seddiq"



Presenting Mollie Kings Collection at Westfield White City, London.

It was such an Incredible opportunity to represent Mollie Kings Collection in the centre of Westfield, London. 


I wore a Black and White Jumpsuit from Oasis with Black open toe high heel boots.


Mollie Kings Collection was all about bright colours, stripes and smooth texture.


The Style Lounge will help the public to come and have a discussion  about their body shape and what suits them from the Oasis Store.


I enjoyed communicating with the public and talking about style and combining a selection of different Garments together.


I was trying to get the public to be more confident within their appearance and how they combine colours together this gives them the chance to be more open about how they wear it.
