The Modist was created to address an underserved market (USD 44bn) of women who want to dress fashionably yet in a demure way, across faiths, age groups, and ethnicities. At its core, The Modist’s proposition is driven by the mission to be an inclusive platform for women globally that celebrates diversity and empowered choice. The Modist was featured in numerous global publications including

The Financial Times, The New York Times, Vogue US, Vogue Arabia, Forbes, and made the list of Fast Company’s most innovative companies in the world in 2019 and 2020.

Free parking inside Alserkal Avenue block if you want to take your chance but it is very limited.
