A Collection for the Modern and Modest Women
“We wanted to create a line for women who appreciate modesty as a lifestyle, as well as a broader international audience. It is relaxed, and can be mixed and matched to enhance style,” Hana said.
The inaugural collection takes inspiration from an appreciation of diversity and its versatility allows for flexible coordination with a range of styles. It features stylish hijab headscarves, with relaxed jeans, rayon blouses, and long dresses, as well as AIRism hijab innerwear headscarves and headbands, for enhanced comfort when wearing a hijab.
