As modest fashion week starts in Istanbul, we look at the growth of this area of the fashion industry.

We hear the thoughts of retailers and designers on why more women are choosing to dress modestly. And content creator Maha Gondal explains how she's bringing her take on modest fashion to her thousands of followers.
