About Us

Welcome to Hammasa Shop, where fashion transcends boundaries and celebrates cultural heritage. Founded and inspired by Hammasa Kohistani, our brand is a testament to style, cultural heritage, and the beauty of diversity.


Our Founder: Hammasa Kohistani

Hammasa Kohistani, a trailblazing model and the first ethnic Muslim to be crowned Miss England. Hammasa has made significant strides, breaking barriers and setting new standards for representation. Born to Afghan parents and raised in the UK, Hammasa struggled to find pieces for official events that represented her cultural heritage while offering comfort and modern style. This inspired her to create a collection that bridges the gap between tradition and contemporary fashion.

Hammasa's journey in fashion began when she was scouted by a modelling agent at the age of 14. At 18, she made history as the first ethnic Muslim to be crowned Miss England, later representing England at the Miss World pageant. Her success meant she has been featured in prestigious publications such as Vogue, Teen Vogue, Tatler, OK!, Harper's Bazaar and many more

After moving to UK with her family in 1997 amid the civil war in her home country. Growing up as a refugee, she embraced her Afghan heritage and proudly represents it on the global stage. From high-profile red carpets to exclusive fashion events, Hammasa blends traditional elegance with contemporary style.


Our Story

Throughout her distinguished career, Hammasa often struggled to find pieces that allowed her to represent her culture while providing the comfort and movement needed for events. This challenge inspired her to create Hammasa Shop, a fashion line that bridges the gap between tradition and modernity. Our collection features beautiful, structured, and wearable modern pieces with an ethnic twist, designed to honour the rich heritage of diaspora communities.
