Business Owner

Akilah Baynes is the founder and designer of Akilah Fashion (AF), a clothing line that specializes in Fashionable but Modest Muslimah Wear. Drawing inspiration from the notable fashion-​worthy trends of the city of Philadelphia where she was born and raised, Akilah demonstrated hints of her future craft when she begin styling clothes from a young age. Akilah’s interest and love for fashion was further influenced by her maternal and paternal grandmothers, both of which were designers and seamstresses — one in RTW & the other in Bridal Couture. Akilah eventually found a niche in modest fashion and followed in her grandmothers’ footsteps pursuing her own career as a fashion designer.

Though genetically blessed with the gift of sewing, Akilah consulted her grandmothers’ help to perfect her garment construction skills when she started making her own wardrobe in 2005. A couple of years later she was ready to take her craftsmanship to another level forming and launching Akilah Fashions (AF)
