Uniqlo has released a line of stylish and
colourful hijabs and religious wear, designed
by a young British designer, but ironically, it
won't be available to buy in the UK.
The retailer is the first high-street shop to
create fashion-forward headscarves as part of
its collaborations, that include a range of tees
by Lulu Guinness and an upcoming
womenswear collection by super-stylist fashion
editor Carine Roitfeld.
However, for now the pieces will only be
available in some countries of Asia, where the
demand for hijabs is slightly higher. In
Singapore, for example, the Muslim population
is 15 per cent, in contrast to the five per cent in
the UK.

“I'm so happy to share this with you," she
added at the launch. "I know it’s been a long
time coming but it felt wonderful to let my
mind run. It catches on a detail, or just a
feeling of an idea. Unearthing something that I
can only see the edges of. Now you get to see
it in its whole form, and it’s all for you.”
The Uniqlo x Hana Tajima Collection features
“modest wear” inspired by the diversity of
cultures and styles. It includes headscarves and
headbands in a variety of prints and colours, as
well as long dresses and rayon blouses –all
made of comfortable, breathable fabric so they
are wearable in warm weather.
