Reported by AI Image generated by AI
For the first time, Ramadan was officially incorporated into a London Fashion Week presentation when British-Yemeni designer Kazna Asker halted her show at sunset to share iftar with models, staff, and guests. The 29-year-old designer's Hour of the Sunset collection drew on Islamic traditions and Yemeni heritage, transforming the British Fashion Council's NewGen space into a communal majlis. Asker aimed to immerse attendees in the spirit of the holy month through shared rituals and culturally inspired garments.
