New York– September 11, 2024 – Lara Active, the Dubai-based modest activewear brand, made waves at their highly anticipated debut at New York Fashion Week in collaboration with Runway 7. The unveiling of their first-ever burkini line (modest swimwear) was met with overwhelming applause as the brand delivered a bold and vibrant showcase of 11 striking looks that delighted the runway at Sony Hall, Times Square.

The collection featured a dynamic array of colors, styles, and shapes, with each look exuding confidence, modernity, and modesty. The garments not only highlighted the versatility of modest swimwear but also stood out for their bold, radiant hues and fashion-forward design.

In a powerful moment at the end of the show, Lara Fawzy, Founder of Lara Active, captivated the audience with a brief Muay Thai shadowboxing performance, wearing a Lara Active all-in-one Jumpsuit embellished rhinestones, symbolizing strength, resilience, and empowerment. During the show, the designer introduced watermelon-themed pieces and keffiyeh inspired design, a symbolic gesture that subtly highlighted the plight of Palestine, adding depth and meaning to the collection’s narrative.

“We are beyond thrilled with the response to our debut collection,” said Lara Fawzy. “This show was not just about fashion; it was about bringing modest fashion and sportswear to the forefront in a way that celebrates women’s strength and cultural diversity. We wanted to create something that empowered women while also carrying a message of unity and global awareness.”
