When Uniqlo partnered with UK-based Muslim fashion designer and blogger Hana Tajima on a collection of modest wear last year, the news made waves across the Internet and in Southeast Asia where the capsule was released. "For Muslim women there was almost a sense of being recognized for the first time," says Tajima. "Then, more generally, to have a different sort of voice, another kind of aesthetic available, was really refreshing."
Its success prompted the global retailer to team up with Tajima for a third time, and for Autumn 2017 the collection will available to buy online and at Uniqlo and in all its UK stores. The line is part of the Japanese brand's LifeWear concept, which aims to enhance one's lifestyle through high-quality clothing. Uniqlo's budget-friendly prices are an added bonus.
The offerings include hijabs, kebayas, blouses, tapered and relaxed pants and long, flowing skirts. Uniqlo applied its Airism technique to inner headscarves and headbands for breathable, quick-dry wear. New to the range are wide-leg jeans and outerwear, such as jackets with an architectural silhouette, but made from light, shirt-weight fabrics.
While this type of diversity in mainstream fashion is certainly applauded, Tajima suggests "seeing beyond a target market to get at why a woman wants to dress a certain way, regardless of religious or cultural labels."
"At its heart there needs to be a real understanding of the women who will be wearing these designs," says Tajim. "I think that starts with breaking down boundaries and allowing clothing to be something that can connect us."
