Would You Sign Up For A Muslim Model Agency?

I was reading an article the other day about a New York based model agency that launched couple weeks ago, said agency caters only to models who want modesty in the profession, they are muslims or none muslims who want to strut the catwalk but don't want a part in baring excessive skin or any skin at all. This agency is called 'Underwraps', owned by Nailah Lymus, a New York Fashion designer.. She says
'Being modest isn't just a Muslim concept; it crosses many religions and cultures. Beautiful women who have always wanted to venture on to the catwalk but have declined because of their beliefs now have a chance."
True that, but an agency like this in New York City, the place they call the capital of the world, who does that? I hope she makes a success
of it but it may be a tough one. I don't subscribe to people going naked and baring alot on the catwalk, or pages of magazine, billboards etc, but that an agency like hers will survive in a city that thrives on 'the less you wear, the more cool you are' is definitely going to be a
It makes me think, can any of you reading this (especially those in Nigeria) be inspired to open one such model agency? I think it will fly too, only you gotta target certain companies for business.. Don't ask me what companies tho :D
PS: Underwraps currently represents three models, who appeared at Lymus's own show and were sent to castings during New York fashion week. Two of them have been signed by a bridal boutique opening in London this year.

Hello (as-salamu alaykum)

I am a 17 years old girl from Finland (biological parents from Somalia) and I am really into modeling and I have been also experienced a little bit of shooting and that kind of things because I have been filming (a movie) but never actually been a model who defends its own cultute. I am 160 cm and my weight is 42
It would be a pleasure to be your model and part of this whole process. And of course a dream come true.

Kind regards, Suweyda

Hey, my name is Malaz, I live in Sweden. I am soon 19 years old. I have always wanted to a hijab model since when I was a Little girl. Because I want to inspire my fellow muslim women out there, that wearing the hijab does not make you look ugly and loose confident in yourself, or makes you look less attractive. But wearing hijab makes you look beautiful, creative, confident, etc. I want when muslim women see my photos, to say to themselves we are beautiful regardless of what the world think of us. When I become a hijab model, I want to show the world that wearing the hijab does not mean you are fashionless. That you can wear the hijab and still look fashionable and classic. To become a hijab model will truly be a dream come through, I have everything it takes to become a hijab model. Thank you.
