Originally from a small tight-knit Muslim community in upstate New York, Ayana became the first modest fashion designer on the show, bringing Muslim fashion to American televisions and New York Fashion Week.

Liked this video? You might wanna watch Lena Khan's story, she was the first Hijabi Director in Hollywood, and in her debut film "The Tiger Hunter," she snagged '"Community" legend Danny Pudi as lead actor! --> th-cam.com/video/7yZb22jJSA0/w-d-xo.html
Her muslim bride look at the finale is my favorite look of all time in project runway. I was blown away.
nice video
I cant wait to watch that season!!
Many brides wear vales, many of which cover the head. So in her beautiful and dramatic finale bride hijab look, it does not look like a traditional hijab at all, the way she incorporated the vale and shaped the hijab overall.
SHE IS SO INSPIRING MASHAALLAH
I'm not even Muslim and I loved almost all her looks.
Hi dailia u r not muslim but this is nesessary for women i m muslim boy
Girl you made me love my hijab 10 times more ❤️
💓💓
Why do people hate it? It’s beautiful

OMG u have no idea how much u just inspired me. I can relate to u in so many ways almost share the same story. Grew up poor, lived and still living a miserable life in Saudi Arabia I'm stuck in can't leave and I found a comfort in sewing. I know why u got so emotional when u were talking about sewing, it really is a joy to make something and for it to turn out beautiful and knowing that u made that! Ur gonna be a household name one day ur already doing big things. Who knows maybe one day we'll work together! All the love and success to u sister ❤
May allah grant you happiness, love 💕

Kay M في وين ساكنين؟ شكلكم ما تعرفون شي اسمه فقر. اتقي الله و تثقف
@Kay M على اساس انك عايش حياتي او تعرف شي عني و توريني قصتي كمان. و كمان تقول بت حرام يا ريت لو تعرف كبر الكلام اللي تقولو عند ربك.
You don’t have to reveal all of your body to be considered beautiful and she portrayed the message in such a unique way
This brought tears of joy to my heart! Your soul is so beautiful. I love how she sticks to her faith no matter what. Really inspiring 😊
Thanks sis for keeping it halal!
JazakAllahu khayran!
Star Cherry what is her name pleasee
I’ve adored Ayana ever since I saw her on project runway 😁 I’m so proud of her ❤️
I love her. Modesty can be beautiful.
*modesty IS beautiful :))
I suppose
modesty can be exciting and inspiring
Is that a better way of putting it.
@@talhatariqyuluqatdis can be is fair you can be modest but in ugly clothing, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but typically it is used to describe aesthetic appeal, as opposed to simply philosophical approach.
Actually she taught us modesty can be mind blowing
i loved her on her season and i am so happy to know she continues to get opportunities like these.
0:56 oh man, ayana i liked you on project runway but this line "I was muslim so i had to get married" man with this line you lost me
I am a muslim and i can confirm that's not how it works. There's not such a thing as muslim women have to get married.
Her family may have forced her to that marriage but in the religion it's not a rule or anything.
True... My parents are cool with me being unmarried, im 28,and marriage is not something u forced upon... It is a choice....
But married is sunnah and thts complete the pray that we had
@@bayunizar5295 and sunnah means its better for you to do that but there is no forcing upon you. so is not wrong to not do that and its okay. but its better if it done in the right way.
if u could, able to and willing to.
@@RifkyAHakim thats my point exactly
I dont know her personally. But Im so proud of her and Im crying right now.
That is amazing, I am so proud of her!
Thanks AJ+ for covering these stories, you guys are doing an amazing job as well!
I wish you said your name at the end when you said you wanted it to be a household name. So many times the woman’s name is excluded from magazine covers and family trees. Say your name and say it often. You are fabulous, and people should know your name.
Hi reney
I would definitely wear the wedding dress it's beautiful and Captivating design 👏👏
SO PROUD OF YOU 👏👍
This is so inspiring. May God bless and protect you, Ayana! I’m so happy and proud of you for taking control of your life and doing it in a way that is pleasing to the soul. Your creations are all beautiful!! MashAllah
I am so proud to see yemeni people from my country do a breave thing like that. Allah will be with you.🤲🏻
Ameen 🤲
I am also a Yemeni and I liked her too
People in my country like to call fashionista muslim as 'hijapster'. I like the way they style themselves atcually..modest yet elegant & beautiful..muslimah really know how to mix & match colour of their clothes with their hijab. Keep it up Ayana. U are amazing talented woman.
Hijabista, derived from, well, fashionista.
I absolutely 100% love her style. I'm not even Muslim. But it was time to see something DIFFERENT and that's exactly Ayana! It is wonderful to see options like this in fashion. I don't want to label it as "conservative" because I don't see it that way. It's just fantastic, fabulous fashion!
YOU LIVED 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM ME in Tennessee. Bless you. I know the people here are not always tolerant. Thank you for being you.
Hi friend
YOU GO GIRL!❤️
Hi friend
I am actually getting teary eyed, this is such a Beautiful story and i am so proud of her.she is such a amazing soul and i wish her all the success and health and happieness in her future inshallah ♡♡♡

Ayana. You are an inspiration 🤩
Congrats sister may Allah bless you, much love from Saudi Arabia, I love all my brothers and sisters.
I am in tears. Love, love, love you.
She's so inspirational! Love the interview
MashaAllah..you go girl, make us WOMEN PROUD!!! Just know you are inspiring many young Muslim and non Muslim girls to go after the dream!!!
I AM BALLING! Her story is sooo inspirational and I am so proud of her! Moreover, her clothes are STUNNING!!!
This muslim brother of yours is proud of you! And I love it when someone rises from.poverty and challenges in life. Your dresses are beautiful and im here in the hospital watching this and Im rooting for you! May Allah give you all you need. Amien. Salaam from Amsterdam. Peace
Amazingly talented woman.
MashAllah.
May Allah help you in your endeavours and make you wildly successful in this world and the hereafter.
Wearing little clothing is not freedom. Freedom is having the choice to wear whatever you want, yes even a headscarf. That is freedom! Nothing more ignorant then telling someone what they can’t wear. Then gaslighting them by telling them it’s because that would mean they are oppressing themselves, it doesn’t even make sense. Stop being toxic.
I discovered this series and I'm watching all of these while crying at all of them. Such an awesome series.
Good for her!
Good for you. I’m SO proud of you ❤️
Hey🙋♀️, can you do some video for what happen whit muslims in China? Please.

Fighting tears the whole video. I haven't seen her since I don't watch Project Runway, but wow the strength and determination is amazing. I love it.
Yass sister... Im majoring also in Fashion design rn. Hope all continues to go well for you. May Allah bless you 💜❤
i'm so proud of her
I dont usually comment on videos but mashAllah you are very talented and im rooting for you!

omg girl, I'm so happy for you ....
May Allah keep blessing you sister with the success ameen
Ameen
Loved her and her work. Wishing her all the success in the world. You rock Ayana!
Modesty need not be black dementor scary. Modesty can be colorful and fun bringing a good outlook to life on earth and not fanatically believing that it pleases God in any way. God is bigger than our earthly woes.
Calling the Abaya ‘Black dementor scary’ is derogatory and rude. Let women dress how they like
@@caracara300 when did person say abaya? I'm in USA. God himself invented flowers in every bubbling color. Look at God's earth! All that BS is man made BS. I thank the CREATOR for so many beautiful colors. Black is considered depressing by many cultures.
Cara Cara and men ?
I'm American and as long as the woman is not drawing attention to herself then she can wear any color. However the garments must fill the guidelines of covering according to Islam. In no way should a muslim woman beautify her garments to call her to be noticed that defeats the purpose of hijab, rather you get as beautiful as you want under you hijab like most of the women who wear all black do overseas. But whatever.
@@rebeccafrost5542 Hello dear, I live in a moslem majority country (but not an islam country). So I know, not all moslem girl wear black abaya. Most moslem girls who wear hijab, wear variety of design of colorful islamic modesty clothing, fashionista! Well, I'm one of them I wore modest clothing like this lady in the video 😆 Including some of them wear abaya, even black abaya with mouth covering too. Maybe, the stereotype make it looks bad. But I have a friend who wear black abaya and mouth covering, she's sweet and kind 😊 It's saddening about the stereotype of black abaya, but I know why it's exist too :".
I 10000% agree, the colors that exists today are so beautiful so why not use all that colors in our clothing? The creator made them all! Agree with that, for me my fav color is blue 🌊
However, still, I just want people to know that many sweet girls in black abaya, not just the stereotype people have in their mind. Honestly, the best thing is just let the woman wear what they want... Have nice day 😊
What s great inspiration you are sister MashaAllah . May Allah swt reward you. Keep pushing forward InshaAllah you achieve your goals 🙏❤🧕🏾
I always love it when people take control of their life back. Be happy Ayana
Rock on! Love your attitude and your designs..being Muslim only enhanced your designs! Always love the headwear. Dust bowl Oklahoma...I WOULD wear one! Seems like a bonus to me...protecting the hair.
Legit made me cry. So proud to see Muslim sister thriving in fashion industry. Keep it up sister. Much love. May Allah bless your path with peace and love
Beautiful young lady. Very inspiring story.
Hijab doesn't mean to cover your hair only, it's your whole body especially the Private parts, so skin tight clothing is non Islamic sister
@tokyo ghoul hey totally unrelated and random but love ur name, I've been thinking of watching that anime
@tokyo ghoul I'm just not used to the gore that's why I've been putting it on hold but I've heard great things
Nono Zebra As a muslim woman I do agree with that BUT bringing in any kind of modest clothing into the fashion industry is progress no matter what way you look at it. She's making these clothes for muslim and non muslim woman so of course they aren't going to be muslimah clothes.
👍
I am tired of only finding revealing clothes in the stores during the summer, so this is refreshing.
So proud of you. Thank you. Here in France everything is very difficult for the Muslims people.
Alhamdullilah. Mashallah. I’m so proud of this Muslim Sister.🕊🌹🌺👌🏻
Salam dear nice coment
Good for her. Congratulations! Beautiful designs and wonderful example...had me in tears at the end
Excellent work! Proud of you! Onwards and upwards!
Well deserved!!!🙏🏾👸🏾
Can't wait to buy ur line!
MashaAllah you were great on Project Runway, I loved that season!!! And MashaAllah you are great now!!! Keep up the excellent work!!!
One of your biggest fans!!!
We love you, you made our girl proud to wear the hijabs. May Allah reward you and your parent. We need someone like you and your God send person keep going my child ❤
❤❤❤ you are so talented mashallah , keep your faiht sister!!!!! 🇧🇪🇲🇦
Jilbab is beautiful. It is also mandatory to wear. It looks amazing.
Ayana don't listen to the hate comments. Those people know nothin about Islam and Islamic fashion. In islam a woman can wear whatever she wants it just has to be modest, it can't resemble mens clothing it can't be revealing and it can't replicate the disbelievers. Other than that everything is perfectly fine. Those people saying go back to your country, need to know many muslims do live and are born in North America or Europe! And a Burka is something the minority of Muslim women wear!
Now I wanna watch project runway
If you are into Muslim fashion modelling then you should check out Firdous. It's a Chechen Islamic fashion company in line with Paris and London fashion.
Ayana your work is soooo great you will be a roll model for young muslim girls continue the great work you do
iam soooo proud of you
So proud of her.
Ma shaa Allah such an inspiring Muslimah ❤️❤️❤️
The sounds of ignorance can be drowned by the loudness of love and acceptance, you are a beautiful human being, fly, spread your wings and fly, as high and as far as you wish.
Wooow MashaAllah 💞... All the best in Shaa Allah 🤲🤲🤲
Reminder.tight dresses are not actually supposed to be worn in public
I was obsessed with project runway when I was younger, and though there wasn’t as much variety even 7 years ago, I’m so happy children can now grow up and be inspired by seeing themselves represented in the fashion industry.
Just beautiful!! I love her look!
WHAT AN INSPIRATION MAY GOD BLESS YOU
She is such an inspiration to young Muslim girls.🥰
Omg that wedding hijabi dress IS my dream dress like literally 😍😍😍😍😍
She IS an inspiration 💜 God bless her
okey that is an inspirational woman ..as i watch her tears falling down i can tell that her dreams become a reallity..she gave me hope
Masha Allah may Allah bless you with lots of success in life and hereafter 😘😘😘 love from India
Sana Baig Ameen
I am a non religious women who didn't always dress modest and who now does. I appreciate beautiful clothes that look fashion forward.
Ayyyy she talented !! Wish her all the best ..and hope i can wear something from her collections one day🙌
Wearing the hijab is not just about covering the hair, but the body too. What I mean is that you also have to wear loose clothes to protect your private parts. This way, you can be protected.
So proud of you!!! May Allah grant you success in all your endeavors!!!
So inspiring❤️
Black Muslim women are powerful and creative 🤎 thank you so much for occupying that space ♥️
Thank you hope to see your line soon
Alhamdulillah. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩💝💝💝💝💝
Not to be dramatic but the piece at 3:45 is to die for
Omds why did this make me cry.
This woman is amazing
Now that's called real passion! 😤💕✨
it has become soooooo hard now a days to dress modestly but still wear fashionable clothes and especially being young where you have to be in with the latest trends. so its so nice to see stuff out there for Muslims. Jazakallah Ayana
Pretty lady. A very good story to inspire young muslim women to reach their dream in whatever they wanna be. Keep your faith and hijab. 😊😊😊😊
Go for it girl! May God be with you. I didnt see the programme but from the video you did well. All the best
I really hope she achieves her goals
Hi plz u wear scarf

The finale hijab was breathtaking like I am not that into fashion but when I saw that dress I bawled my eyes out like I want that for my wedding good things happen to good people I'm glad you used Islam as a way to push you up and not drag you down
You go girl 🥰🥰 I’m really proud of you 👍👍
