Muslim Women’s Fashion Show and Bazaar, May 2010

Here are the images from the amazing fashion show put on by the wonderful sisters at the MCC Full-Time School! Thanks again for all your hard work and initiative!

For our first look, the theme was “Urban Casual.”

This collection makes no excuses. When you just need to be real. When you just need to be you.

The second look, the theme was “Feminine.”

The feminine touch. Style, elegance, sophistication and flow are what makes this collection unique.

Our third look that was presented was called “Classic Casual.”

Zain Bhikha in the June Issue of Emel Magazine

This is just a quick note to let you know that Zain Bhikha, whose clothing wardrobe SHUKR officially sponsors, has a beautiful article written about him in the current issue of Emel Magazine. Be sure to check it out.

Here is a teaser:

South Africa is hosting the 2010 World Cup. Yet it was a pariah on the world scene, a country beset with institutionalised racism and bigotry. Amidst this horror grew up a compassionate and caring young man, who was to become an internationally acclaimed singer. Nisa Terzi meets Zain Bhikha and finds out his plans to change the world…

Enjoy!

Seen in SHUKR: You!

At SHUKR we are excited to announce that during the month of June, we are offering a giveaway of 250 USD (250 CAD for Canada fans or 150 GBP for our international fans)  worth of clothing from our website.

To enter, please send 1) a picture of yourself in SHUKR clothing to contest[at]shukrclothing[dot]com (no larger than 500kb and in .jpg format), and please include 2) your full name and hometown. Then, 3) become a fan of our new Facebook page! We will soon be migrating away from our Facebook Group, but don’t worry–we won’t disappear entirely.

We will then add your photo to a new photo album (soon to be created and linked to) on our Facebook Page of our wonderful SHUKR fans. We do ask that typical standards of Islamic modesty be observed, or we may be unable to post your photo. Also, if you do not want us to display your whole name, just let us know. Finally, if any of the requested elements above are missing, unfortunately, you will not qualify for the random drawing. By entering, it means that you give us permission to post your photo.

The winner will be chosen randomly and announced on our Facebook page and blog on July 1st. That person will then receive an electronic gift certificate which they can use at their choosing, and does not expire.

Inshallah, this is just the beginning, as we have much more planned for you!

P.S. Please let us know what SHUKR garment you are wearing in your picture. :)
