Uniqlo has created a fashion range in collaboration with young UK designer Hana Tajima[1], which features hijab headscarves and kebaya.
The line, previously only available in Southeast Asia, has just launched throughout the US for the first time.
They're the first major high street brand to create a full line of fashionable headscarves and modest wear.
The range combines casual pieces including tapered ankle-length trousers and blouses, to more traditional wear like kebaya and hijab, bringing together contemporary design and comfy fabrics with traditional values.
In other words, the clothes are comfortable and modest, but finished in stylish prints and slick, modern detail.
Muslim fashion designer and blogger Hana Tajima[2] is on a mission to change the way young women dress all over the world. Inspired by her Japanese roots and English upbringing, she focuses on modern, functional designs, which are both culturally sensitive and chic.
'We are thrilled to introduce the UNIQLO x Hana Tajima collection to the US market,' said Hiroshi Taki, Uniqlo USA CEO. 'The collaboration connects Hana's personal style of modest fashion with our LifeWear concept of enhancing people's lives through clothing, including those who value modest wear.
'Every item from this collection is designed with quality, comfort, and style in mind.'
Even better, it's very affordable, with prices ranging from $49.90 (£35) for printed hijabs to $149.90 (£105) for kebaya.
All we need to know now is when the range is coming to the UK.
In the meantime, you can check out the entire range online here[3].
