Her Story
Passion Meets
Purpose
Shakira's journey into fashion began long before the first stitch was sewn — it began with a deep appreciation for beauty, an eye for detail, and an unwavering commitment to the values of her faith. Growing up surrounded by vibrant fabrics and creative energy, she knew that fashion would be her calling.
With over a decade of experience spanning industrial fashion design and everyday modest wear, Shakira has honed a unique ability to merge professional-grade craftsmanship with wearable, everyday elegance. She understands that modest fashion doesn't mean sacrificing style — quite the opposite.
Design by Shakira was born from a simple but powerful belief: every Muslim woman deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and completely herself — without compromising on her values. Each collection reflects this belief, offering garments that are thoughtfully designed, impeccably made, and deeply intentional.
Today, Shakira creates for women across Canada and beyond, from brides preparing for their nikah to young professionals seeking elegant everyday modest wear. Every client receives her personal attention, care, and expertise.
