Dhaka Modest Fashion Expo 2026 was featured by The Daily Star as Bangladesh’s first modest fashion and halal lifestyle expo, scheduled to take place at Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden on May 15–16, 2026. The coverage positioned DMFE as a national platform designed to bring together modest fashion brands, international partners, policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and lifestyle businesses to support the growth of Bangladesh’s modest fashion sector. More than 100 brands were expected to participate in the expo, reflecting strong market interest and the growing relevance of modest fashion within Bangladesh’s creative and lifestyle economy.

The Daily Star feature also highlighted the significant global market opportunity for Bangladesh, noting that the global modest fashion industry is valued at more than $300 billion and projected to exceed $430 billion by 2028, according to the State of the Global Islamic Economy Report by DinarStandard. In the article, Dr. Anika Tahsin Khan, CEO of Impact Arc Solutions and Founder of DMFE, emphasized that even a 5% share of the global modest fashion market could represent a $15 billion opportunity for Bangladesh. Through this coverage, DMFE gained important visibility as a market-building platform connecting fashion, halal lifestyle, entrepreneurship, investment, and Bangladesh’s future positioning in the global modest fashion economy.
