Plus Model Muslimah has been the face of Ashley Stewart for numerous campaigns. Landing a dream client, like Ashley Stewart, does not come around very often unless you are an amazing model and know how to bring exactly what the client is looking for so creating a great relationship and working as the client asks is key. This month – Ashley Stewart brings us plus model Muslimah and PLUS brings you closer to one of your favorite models.

[Maddy] You have been the face for Ashley Stewart for quite some time now. How long have you been working with Ashley Stewart?

[Muslimah] I have been modeling for Ashley Stewart for 4.5 years; they were one of my first clients.  Love them to death, I consider them family.

[Maddy] Ashley Stewart's new campaign features amazing denim styles and edgy combinations to compliment a woman's curves. Can you tell us about the new line and about this amazing campaign shoot that you were in?

[Muslimah] This was the best shoot we have ever had!! The clothes, are like you said, edgy trendy.  For a while I thought they had lost that sexiness but they are definitely going back to it.  I felt like I was doing a music video during the shoot – there was a smoke machine in the background!  The hair stylist Will Robinson made my hair look fierce and the MUA Ashunta Sheriff was fabulous!! Darius the stylist always makes Ashley Stewart clothes look amazing!!! They are an absolute dream team!!

[Maddy] Once you had a few Ashley Stewart campaigns under your belt I'm sure people began to notice you in public, how do you handle this?

[Muslimah] Funny you ask... there's an Ashley Stewart really close to where I live and people around my neighborhood will see me on the streets, walk by and then do a double take. I know that they recognize me from the campaigns.  I have always said that I would rather have fortune than fame I'm not used to people staring.
