Uniqlo Offers A Collection of Muslim-wear"With the collection, I really wanted to allow people to style the pieces in a way that felt like it was modest to them", said the 29-year-old designer. Tajima converted to Islam when she was 18. Her father is Japanese and her mother is English. Due to Tajima’s diverse background, she understands that the Muslim world is more diverse than most people assume. Thus, Uniqlo’s new line will range from a traditional scarf-like hijab, a form-fitting "inner hijab" to be worn inside looser garments, and an "inner headband" for keeping hair covered and in place. Because the garmetns are so versatile, Uniqlo has even given tutorial videos of how to wear and pair the collection. While other brands have tried catering to the Muslim market, Uniqlo is offering a ‘versatile’ line of products offering practical clothing, that will not only look good, but also promises maximum comfort. The hijabs and headbands are made from the brand’s famous material "Airism", which is a breathable, ‘light as air’ fabric. And will cater to women who live in places where temperatures are a lot warmer than the West, this new line will provide a new level of comfort and remain modest, while helping combat the heat. "Uniqlo’s fabric expertise was literally the first thing I thought of when they approached me for the collection", Tajima told HuffPo. "Since Muslim fashion tends to involve more fabric, it’s especially important that those fabrics are breathable". Uniqlo’s advertising campaign also showcases models from a variety of backgrounds, to further reinforce the diversity of it’s new line that will range from colours such as marigold, taupe and avocado-green.
