Product Information

Serhan: Well their uniforms resemble Burqinis in a way since they have long sleeves and leggings. Only one of the participants chose to cover her hair. Up until 2012, volleyball players had to abide by a strict bikini dress code, but that’s changed. To your knowledge, has the Burqini design been employed for many other practices, like sport? Akou: If [the Brooklyn pool] had been a private pool, I can’t see where it would have even been a media story in this country because in the U.S. there is such a high premium placed on business doing whatever they want. So if a private business wanted to have hours for only women and young boys, in the U.S., that’s not a problem. I don’t think anyone would think twice about that. I personally know people, groups of women, who have done the same thing. They’ll reserve time at the ice-skating rink or time at the pool on campus, and actually they go so they can swim without wearing Burqinis. They just wear regular one-piece and bikini swimsuits. And the idea is if no men are seeing you, you don’t have to worry about it and you can wear whatever you want. … I’d say, with the case in France, there’s some extreme behavior on both sides. From my perspective, it’s a private pool, so I don’t understand why the private owners of that business aren’t saying, ‘It’s our decision and we can deal with whatever customers we want to.’ Of course it’s also politicians’ right to make a big stink about it. But that doesn’t mean the business has to change their practice. The BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ brand swimwear and HIJOOD™ was developed in line with the Islamic code of dressing, and has received official approval and certification from the Islamic community to encourage girls participating in sports. The BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ brand swimwear was the subject of an immediate rush of interest and demand, clearly answering the needs of many women keen to participate in the sporting lifestyle of Australia and many other countries.

But the news of burkini bans has spread around the world, gaining support from right-wing politicians.Akou:. I’ve read accounts of how some customers buy the swimsuits for other reasons. On a personal level, I’ve noticed at the pool that there are an increasing number of people wearing rash-guard, UV-protective swimsuits. There’s definitely been an increase in people not just wearing your standard speedos and bikinis and one-pieces. Akou: The pool in New York was a case where they had already been offering segregated swimming for a long time, but someone complained about it and it was a municipally owned pool, so technically if it’s city-owned they really can’t be discriminating—it’s against U.S. law. And although you don’t typically think of men as a particularly protected class, certainly U.S. law is clear that you have to give everyone equal access regardless of sex, gender, age, etc. Burkinis are simply full-body swimsuits. Dark burkinis are often indistinguishable from wetsuits worn by surfers and divers. Burkinis come in a variety of colors, however—including Baywatch-ready red-and-yellow for this pioneering Australian lifeguard. When Smile13 announced its plans to host an all-women’s “Burqini Day” at the privately owned Speedwater waterpark in Marseille, the French women’s group probably didn’t anticipate controversy. Of course, Muslim women have been going to the beach long before the burkini was invented, but their clothing options were limited. In the past, if you wanted to enjoy yourself in the sun, sand and sea, you would most likely have to make do with a baggy shirt and exercise leggings.

Burkini ban: Why is France arresting Muslim women for wearing Burkini ban: Why is France arresting Muslim women for wearing

If some Muslim is fine with Hijab, that means Burqa is not a necessary requirement for Muslim woman to wear. If the government bans the Jewish kippah, and large Christian crosses. It is just fair not to show favouritism to another religion. Why do some people support the burkini ban? Read through our study guide, and take a look at the Fast Facts for some help. BURQINI ™ / BURKINI™ are entirely original words which are trade marks of AHIIDA and prior to AHIIDA's creating and using these words as trade marks the words were not known or used by another party. It is through the efforts of Aheda Zanetti and AHIIDA that these trade marks have gained such global renown and recognition.Unfortunately, policing women’s bodies and what they choose to wear is nothing new. What was always meant to be a modest swimwear option is instead being seen as a political statement or even worse, a “threat.” Recently, a Winnipeg woman and her two daughters were told they couldn’t enter the pool at Lilac Resort in Ste Anne, Man. because of what they were wearing. Halima Jelloul, her husband and children were approached by the owner who thought their outfits were streetwear, which is not allowed in the waterpark. He later apologized. In 2003, Aheda Zanetti, founder of Ahiida Pty Ltd (AHIIDA) and designer of the BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ brand swimwear, was inspired by watching her niece playing netball in a traditional Hijab / Veil to begin a search for sporting garments suitable for Muslim women.

BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ Brand Story The BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ Brand Story

If you keep up with fashion and the news, you’ve probably heard of the term burkini by now. The burkini is a combination of the words burqa (a modest outer garment that covers you up from head to toe) and bikini. Simply put, it’s a full-body swimsuit: modest, sleek and breathable. (With bonus UV protection!) President Francois Hollande has so far avoided becoming embroiled in the dispute but the Prime Minister has shown no such concern. According to our study guide, burkinis and other hijab clothing have become potent indicators of identity, with many non-Muslims viewing it as a political statement. Some communities interpret hijab as a sign of Islamic fundamentalism, the refusal of immigrants to integrate into mainstream society, or the oppression of women. Manuel Valls told the La Provence newspaper he was not in favour of a national law but condemned burkinis.Serhan: With the France controversy in mind, do you think the adoption of the Burqini by non-Muslim or non-conservative women for other reasons, such as skin protection or even comfort, would increase their acceptance? Intense media interest during the early days of production of the BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ brand swimwear led to rapid exposure both in Australia and overseas and the BURQINI ™ / BURKINI ™ brand is now widely recognised throughout the world as the origin of AHIIDA’s high-quality, innovative swimwear. Read through our study guide on hijab to better understand this misunderstood concept, and ideas about how to discuss it in class. Akou: Yes, and the idea was it would make her more aerodynamic. But I think, particularly, even in the U.S., the idea of non-Muslims covering their hair is definitely something that people don’t see a need for and aren’t interested in, and it starts to feel uncomfortable. But in France, it’s such a divisive issue that I really don’t see non-Muslims adopting that item of dress.
