Malaysian Model Is Face Of Nike’s First Modest Swimwear Global Campaign!
History was made this December when Nike revealed its first
ever modest swimwear line.
It’s good news for hijabis all around the world, but we
have an extra special reason to celebrate because a Malaysian model is the
face of Nike’s first modest swimwear global campaign!
The campaign, which went live on 10th December
features Malaysian model Arinna Erin Wira who is currently based in the UK.
As a global model for the new Nike Victory Swim Collection, Arinna’s face will be plastered across the world as the sportswear giant markets the new collection which includes a full coverage swimsuit, swim hijab, tunic top and swim leggings.
The inclusion of a new modest sportswear collection is monumental for the progression of female athletes, especially those who’ve been sidelined for their attire in competitions.
According to Elle Poland, the Nike campaign features 4 Muslim women around the globe, including a figure skater from UAE, Saudi Arabia’s first female technical diver and of course, Arinna.
In the Nike Victory Swim collection campaign video, the women talked about their love for swimming while splashing around in the pool decked in the modest swimwear.
“My grandma literally dunked me in the water and that was history.â€

Arinna is no stranger to the camera though, the young lass is a well-known local influencer and model, now signed with a UK modelling agency, BAME Models.
While this campaign definitely puts Arinna on the map, we
can expect greater things from this brainy beauty who just graduated from Brunel
University London with a Masters in Science In Business Intelligence and Social
Media.
It’s amazing to see Malaysia getting beautiful representation
on the global stage. Congratulations to Arinna for completing her Masters and the
campaign!
If you’re keen on getting your hands on the Nike’s modest swimwear collection, it will only be available from February 2020 online and at select retailers.
