The Husband & Wife Duo Taking on Refined Modest Fashion.

Kimesca is our new contemporary British modestwear brand, seamlessly merging the realms of high fashion and modesty, founded by my husband - Kamil, and myself. Our brand centres around a refined take on the modern modest woman, intertwined with the personal flare of our cultural fusion. As a British Pakistani muslim, my husband brought the rich traditions of the Islamic culture into our shared married life. During events tied to these traditions, I often found myself in some type of imposter state where I felt almost unworthy of wearing traditional clothing as if it belonged to a world I deeply respected but didn’t belong to. I would always ask my husband, "Do I look ok?" "It doesn't look like i'm wearing a costume, does it?" "Are you sure I can wear this?". From these experiences, I wanted to create contemporary modest gowns that I didn't have to question, because they were still me and they were still modest. With my background in the European fashion market, it was a very natural movement to amalgamate the two biggest happenings in my life.

Reflection of Cultural Fusion 

Since working in the fashion industry, there have been a few key elements that I constantly fall in love with - one of them is draping. I admire the contrast in its effortlessness but also how deliberate and intentional it can often be. In modest cultures, fabric is rarely left static. Instead, it flows, gathers, and envelops the body with both intricacy and modesty, and this synthesis is a natural bridge between my profession and my husband’s cultural heritage. 

 

Our debut modest gown, the "True Kimesca" gown, encapsulates a modern modest silhouette and the statement of draping. With exclusive custom artwork exhibited on the garments, we present this Kimesca modest gown as the essence and embodiment of refined modesty inspired by the modern woman.

More Than Modesty

For me, it was key to build a UK contemporary modest gown brand that speaks directly to all women - not only women from modest cultures. I have witnessed (and been a part of) the many women who often wish that not everything had a plunging neckline, a high leg slit, or exposing cutouts. Everything has its own right to exist, just like the traditional clothing. Kimesca isn't an "instead of" brand; it's an "as well as" brand - another option for those who choose it.
