London Fashion Week:

The British Muslim designer trying to be the future

Fashion designer Kazan Asker is a British Muslim with Yemeni roots raised in Sheffield.

• But when it came to finding inspiration for her looks blending sportswear with Islamic staples, she didn’t have to look so far.

• “My main fashion inspiration is my family,” she says.

• “I’d see my grandma in a traditional hijab and abaya and my cousin sat next to her in a roadman tracksuit,” she says.

• The 26-year-old made her debut at London Fashion Week (LFW), showcasing her clothes in a catwalk show seen by journalists, family and fashionistas.

• A show in London, and showing her film, also gave Kazna a chance to highlight voices from Sheffield that can often “go unheard”.

• Kazan’s talking about “the individuals and the people who fight for the city, the teachers, the councilors, the community activists”.

• The documentary shows her going to her local council and challenging it on the lack of teachers from ethnic minority backgrounds.
