Thanks to you, we're being seen. In a short time, we've been able to shine in places we only dared to dream of. What started as an idea is now growing into a brand that's claiming its place. From front page coverage to in-depth interviews.
This is how we appeared in Het Parool:
"When Sarah started wearing suits more often, she noticed that her appearance also influenced her career: in a short time, she received major assignments and several promotions. This became the core of SUITS for her: clothes that do more than look good, they elevate women. She started sharing her outfits on Instagram, and slowly she built a community and later her own brand. Her focus? Suits for women.
With her brand, Sarah wants to help women dress professionally, stylishly, and with coverage. Her suits are made from sustainable and natural materials. "Fashion is often seasonal and trend-driven. Modest clothing is timeless, so we design classic pieces that last."
Sarah believes it's important that modest fashion has a place within Amsterdam Fashion Week. "The fashion industry still doesn't adequately reflect the diversity of society. Maison Modeste can really make a difference in that regard." Although, as a Muslim woman, she also enjoys supporting veiled women who identify with her, she believes it's a misconception that it's exclusively for women of a religious background. "Many of our clients choose this style because it suits their personality or the dress code at work, not just because of their religious beliefs."

NRC also wrote about us:
Former Vogue editor-in-chief Yeliz Çiçek organized Maison Modeste, a showroom with four Dutch brands that make modest fashion: loose-fitting and covering, yet fashionable clothes. There's a growing demand for this, said Sarah, founder of the suit brand SUITS for her. She sells longer jackets that completely cover the buttocks, as well as trousers and long skirts, and everything goes up to size 50. Sarah is actually an advisor at an educational institution and only started her brand nine months ago, but thanks to a viral post on LinkedIn, it's already being worn by people like Iris de Graaf on the NOS Journaal and the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar.

We feel grateful and empowered by this attention. It shows that our story resonates, that our mission to help women claim their place is being heard and shared.
