In this episode, I sit down with Islam Mohamed — founder & designer of Athari Wear (@athariwear) and artist behind @islamartsnyc.
We talk about his journey into fashion, how faith inspires his design philosophy, and the challenges of building a brand that stays true to Islamic values while pushing creative boundaries.
From Berlin to NYC to Dubai, Islam built Athari Wear with purpose — modest, meaningful, faith-aligned fashion. We dive into:
📌 His path to becoming a fashion designer
📌 Balancing creativity & Islamic principles
📌 The discipline & faith behind his work
📌 Feedback from the global Muslim community
📌 Struggles & sacrifices in ethical fashion
📌 Fundraising & finding the right investors to scale
📌 Why purpose will always outperform hype
Whether you're into streetwear, entrepreneurship, art, faith, or building a mission-driven brand — this one will inspire you.
