On June 15th 2012, two ladies from Dallas, Tx with a passion for fashion brought together what is considered to be the biggest Muslim Fashion Show the Dallas/Fort Worth community has ever seen. This fashion show included a diverse amount of designers both locally and internationally with over 200 attendees.
So why Fashion For Compassion?!?! Well the answer to that is that these ladies wanted to bring together a fashion show with a purpose behind it. Yes, they loved fashion and its what fashion shows are all about but supporting a cause sounded even better. Those two thoughts were combined to bring together Fashion For Compassion where all profits from ticket and booth sales went to a non-profit organization that the committee decided on. Proceeds from the 2012 show went toward supporting Texas Muslim Women's Foundation in helping them build a shelter home for women.
These fashion shows are a collaborative effort of an amazing team of models, fashion designers, makeup artists, volunteers, coordinators and photographers most of which have donated their time and services in making the event possible. This year's fashion show included names like Desert Rose Couture, Inner Orbit Systems by Yasmina Johnston, Echarpe a la Mode, Pearl Boutique, Le Chic By Leen and Zeen, INAYAH, and Miss Universe Boutique.
The 2012 Fashion for Compassion Fashion Show landed first page on the Dallas Morning News, as well as a posting in the Philadelphia Times, Kuwait Times, and the very popular Nesf El Dunia magazine in Egypt. Here are a few:

Fashion For Compassion fashion shows are ladies exclusive non-profit shows tailored to a very diverse, creative and fashionable community. The goal of the show to promote modest wear and shine light upon the high demand of modest wear in the fashion industry.
