Arooj's work explores rebellion and restraint through modest fashion, translating punk in- fluences into empowered, wearable silhou- ettes. Combining Islamic femininity, DIY embellishments, and South Asian heritage tailoring, the designs emphasise autonomy, memory, and personal storytelling. Layer- ing, tactile textures, and industrial details contrast with refined structure, redefining modesty as a statement of strength, iden- tity, and contemporary cultural dialogue.
