Recently, Nike international sportswear brand has launched its New Victory Swim Collection,an  active wear line specifically designed for modestly dressed women. Nike’s new invention is said to inspire women particularly hijabis to discover the joy of sport, regardless of their backgrounds, body types, aspirations and abilities. 

Much to our surprise, this international active wear line apparently choose a Malaysian model to be the face of its new collection!

The rising star model Arinna Erin Wira is no stranger in the fashion game, she’s a Malaysian model based in UK. Arinna is currently signed under BAME Models and recently graduated  from Brunel University in London with a Master of Science in Business Intelligence and Social Media.

WE STAN BEAUTY WITH BRAINS!

And as always, the news of  such accomplishment made by our fellow Malaysian went viral on Twitter. Check out what the netizens say :

In a statement released by Nike, the new collection comes with a swim separate options— Nike Victory Swim Tunic Top, the Nike Victory Swim Leggings and The Swim Hijab. The hijab comes with a mesh net to hold hair in place, so female athletes who wear them don’t have to “choose between modesty and movement.

This collection is set to launch on 1st February 2020.  

Again, congratulations to our homegrown girl for this outstanding achievement!
