This Malaysian Beauty Is One Of The Faces Of Nike’s Modest Swimwear Global Campaign
It is great to see big brands like Nike catering to modern Muslim women who are more adventurous and expressive, breaking the prejudices that surround the act of wearing a hijab. Just like any other piece of cloth, a hijab can bee seen not as a deterrent, but simply an extension of one’s beauty.

With that said, Nike has recently announced their Victory Swim Collection, which includes a Full-Coverage Swimsuit, designed with the modern hijabi in mind. Together with the launch, Nike also revealed the faces of the new modest swimwear and one of them is Malaysia’s own Arinna Erin.
The Master of Science in Business Intelligence and Social Media from Brunel University, London graduate is also a model signed with BAME Models in UK. In a statement on Nike’s official site, Arrina said,
”What I first noticed when I went swimming in this outfit was that my hijab stayed on. It was intact and did not come off at all.”

It is an amazing feeling to see Malaysians getting acknowledged internationally. Hopefully, this will open the way to more and more Malaysian models to make their mark globally. Congratulations to Arinna!
