Bringing Modesty into the Mainstream - Fashion Designer Rahila Ahmed

from Off the Hanger · host Emma Lightbown

This week on Off the Hanger, I’m joined by the brilliant Rahila Ahmed, founder of the modest fashion label Rialine—a brand that’s all about bold style, beautiful coverage, and redefining what modest fashion can look like.We chat about how Rahila turned her vision into a reality, creating a brand that merges coverage and confidence. From the design room to real-life wear, she shares the highs and hurdles of building a brand that champions both personal expression and modesty.Rahila also gives us a peek into her own wardrobe—think bright colours, statement silhouettes, and a pair of wedding shoes she’ll never part with. There's even a story about a gold dress moment in the Maldives that proves modest fashion is anything but muted.If you’ve ever felt stuck between dressing how you want and dressing how you're "supposed to," this one’s for you. We talk owning your style, loving your clothes unapologetically, and holding on to those timeless pieces (because yes, trends always circle back).🎧 Hit play for a chat full of fashion feels, self-expression, and some serious outfit inspo.Find more of Rahila here:https://www.instagram.com/rialineofficialhttps://www.rialine.co.uk✅ Subscribe To My Channel For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/@EmmaLightbown/?sub_confirmation=1 ✅ Important Links: 👉 Website: https://www.emmalightbown.com/✅ Stay Connected With Me: 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalightbown/👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/offthehangerofficial👉 TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@offthehangerofficial👉 Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/offthehangerofficial/👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561529271157 ==============================✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉 Embrace Colour!
