Fatima from Friniggi Sportswear, a new sportswear shop for Muslim women, emailed me about their first collection. The designs are in progress and she'd like to give us sneak-a-peek about Friniggi's first collection and would love to hear your feedback.

Here are the sketches. Remember that these designs fall under the copyright of FRINIGGI SPORTSWEAR.

Black and white sketch:

"Friniggi focuses on developing a simple concept, fusing Islamic modesty, modern design and athletic performance. 

The designs are made to be versatile garments that can be easily to be matched with any sportswear you may already have. The tops are long-sleeved and knee-length tops that can be worn over any track pants in your wardrobe, and no need to worry whether those pair of pants are too tight, because the tops cover everything.

Some items come with a matching hijab, but the design sketches above do not include the hijabs, and the colours schemes are just for illustrative purposes."

What kind of hijab are you looking for sport?

Queendom Hijabs, hijab designer based in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, are offering you their collection of sport hijabs. The fabrics are made of Bamboo materials, organic cotton, and a bit percentage of spandex for the elasticity.

They claim that these hijab are very comfort  because of its moisture absorbent materials, and its inner hair reinforcement to keep hair off of neck, especially after working out and neck is sweaty (inside hijab). It's easy to wear too, just a slip on hijab, one-piece and pin-free.

The benefits using Bamboo materials for sporting clothes can be read here on their site.



Bahiya Collections, one of the online Hijab Store, are carrying their Athletica basic black hijab. If you'd like to see the hijab in action, watch here.

This is my favorite sport hijab on their website:


It is their 'patriotic version' with country-flag embedded on it.

I love the cut... fit and sophisticated, and the stiff-shape on the forehead. In my opinion, based on aesthetics point of view, the crossing straps at the back of the head looks a bit 'strange'... although it is meant to prevent the hijab from raising up while running; but I think, the hijabs without 'the cross' look more chic and practical.

I'm always excited when it comes to sport hijab... when I heard a clothes-producing company or a designer launches a new model or design of modest sport-clothes or sports hijab... or, when there is an invention/innovation about it.

Modest swimwear, I think, is one of the big inventions/innovations for muslim women that makes me really happy. I embrace all new modest sport-clothes designs which can make us more and more comfort to do all of our physical/sporting activities.

Recently, Bahiya Collections has launched a new sport hijab, named Athletica Sports Hijab, made of organic cotton and bamboo materials, so, they said, it is absorbent and breathable.



I wonder how it would feel?

I also found a website that offers a variety of sports headwear, the name is Capsters. Capsters offers sports headwear that are suitable either for warm climate or for cold climate.
For warm climate type, from what they said, the materials are light, very soft, smooth, and breathable to keep your head cool. Light colors are available for warmer climate.

They also offer sports headwear depends on the sport. There are a tennis, aerobics, surf, swim, running, or outdoor headwear.

Type: Runner

Artikel yang sangat menarik ini saya temukan dari situs Hijab Style.

Selama ini, memakai Hijab dianggap akan mempersempit ruang gerak para wanita dan akan membatasi aktivitasnya. Selama pengalaman saya sendiri dalam mengenakan hijab, saya tidak merasakan hal itu sama sekali.

Apalagi di jaman sekarang dimana para disainer pakaian banyak merancang pakaian yang hijab-friendly (mode pakaian yang dapat dikenakan dengan hijab), dan ada beberapa desainer yang sudah mulai merancang berbagai mode pakaian bagi para Hijabi, untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya dalam berbagai aktivitas. Salah satunya adalah dengan merancang pakaian-pakaian untuk berolahraga, bahkan untuk berenang, sehingga para Hijabi dapat dengan nyaman melakukan segala aktivitas olahraganya.

Di dalam artikel ini, kita pun dapat melihat bahwa para wanita ini, walaupun mengenakan hijab, dapat meraih prestasi di berbagai bidang olahraga.

Di bawah ini adalah sedikit kutipan dari artikel tersebut:

Quebec designer says headscarf 'integrates rather than excludes certain communities'


MONTREAL–First, a Muslim girl was barred from a soccer match for wearing a hijab. Then, five Muslim girls were ejected from a tae kwon do tournament for the same reason.

It was 2007, at a time when Quebecers were preoccupied with how far they should go to "accommodate" the religious and cultural differences of immigrants in a secular and multicultural society.

While soccer and martial arts officials cited safety concerns, many called the ejections racist, and the incidents became part of the larger controversy.

Fast forward two years, and industrial designer Elham Seyed Javad has taken up the cause.
