Whilst we usher in a new season for fashion… Hello there, powerful Pre-Fall pieces to covet! We also welcome a bigger change from women that are making a difference, inspiring others to achieve more and just do…

Celebrating and championing change is at the heart of everything we do at The Modist – from bringing about a fresh take on modest style – to shining a light on the life affirming power players making an impact on the planet today. So this month we pay homage to some of these women who are concertedly making a change. Enter the utterly inspirational Zainab Salbi, former CEO of Women for Women and a true icon to women all over the world – an unwavering dedication to being a voice for women who need to be heard, we meet the trailblazer. Whilst we also catch up with Modist designer Mary Katrantzou in London with her muse, Walkabout Foundation founder, Caroline Gonzalez Bunster, whose friendship and sisterhood is a shining example of how we can inspire and strengthen each other. Another woman who isn’t afraid to step out of her comfort zone and push forward the perceptions of the industry into new ground is August cover star and fashion chameleon, Caroline Issa, in She Means Business. Working seasons cool separates with her signature ease, she sits down with The MOD to discuss her remarkable career, not being afraid to step into the professional unknown, and her chic sartorial taste-making skills.

Let’s see the season transition in style, shall we? This is how we do…
