Skin

 

Last week we told you about Naja - the lingerie brand that brought out a collection available in seven different shades available for every skin tone - and now blogger, Habiba Da Silva has created Skin, a collection of all inclusive hijabs for women from varying backgrounds and cultures.

Writing on her blog, Da Silva said the collection was "inspired by togetherness amongst different types of people," and that she hoped it would "break up the trend of having brands with clothing dressed on only lighter skinned models."

Da Silva, who is of Brazilian and Lebanese descent, said the collection was inspired by the idea of marriage, with each piece named after words relating to marriage in different languages: the darkest colour is called 'Aure,' the Hausa word for marriage; followed by 'Aroosadda,' the Somalian word for bride; 'Rukhasti' meaning 'sending off' in Urdu; and the liggest shade, 'Zaffeh' which is Arabic for wedding march.

"The word marriage, is all about bringing entities together. This is what Skin is about."

Although the collection is already sold out, Da Silva plans on restocking and hopes to add more colours to the collection - a step in the right direction.
