Franka said that Dubai Modest Fashion Week 2017 would be a suitable platform for local designers to compete with international designers.
“Since the beginning, I wanted to introduce local fashion, particularly modest fashion, to the world. I am certain [we can do it] as the local designer's creativity is remarkable,” she explained.
Franka added that the new brands were chosen as she wanted to motivate them to produce more creations. (jes/asw)
