Serhan: You mentioned in your writings that the design of the Burqini isn’t actually all that new. How long has this swimsuit design been around? 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? But the controversy over the dress isn’t new: Last month the mayor of Cannes passed a bylaw banning the Burqini from the city’s beaches, calling it a “symbol of Islamic extremism.” Those who violate the rule will be fined 38 euros. A similar controversy erupted in June at a public pool in Brooklyn that offered women-only swimming hours four times a week to cater to the community’s large Hasidic population. Opponents argued public facilities should be equally accessible to all people under the law, and the city agreed to reduce—but not eliminate—the segregated hours.

What Is a Burkini — and Why Has It Become Controversial?

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. 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.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.

Yes. The hashtag #WTFFrance was trending on Wednesday as outrage spread around the world over photos of a Muslim being forced to remove her top by armed police on a beach in Nice. Opponents say the bans are bigoted, in that they specifically target Muslim women, and will only further divide a nation reeling from violent incidents.

The word burkini is a portmanteau of the words burqa and bikini. A burqa is a head-to-toe outer garment worn by some Muslim women when they are in public. A bikini is a two-piece swimsuit. 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?

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.

President Francois Hollande has so far avoided becoming embroiled in the dispute but the Prime Minister has shown no such concern.Serhan: This is shifting gears a little bit, but there’s been a bit of coverage about Egypt’s female beach volleyball team at the Rio Olympics and their uniforms— I spoke with Heather Akou, a professor at Indiana University Bloomington who specializes in fashion design and merchandising of non-western dress, about why this not quite itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny swimwear design is so contentious. Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Some communities interpret hijab as a sign of Islamic fundamentalism, the refusal of immigrants to integrate into mainstream society, or the oppression of women.

If I may say so, and this is my opinion, there is nothing wrong with wearing a burkini as long as the face is uncovered. The burkini really looks very much like a wetsuit which people wear for diving, its fine. Case in point: In 2019, Kenyan-American model Halima Aden became the first Muslim model to appear in a burkini in the daring Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Its rule stipulates that only clothing that “is respectful to morality and secular principles, and in compliance with hygiene and safety rules” is allowed.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.
