In what is being deemed as a progressive innovation, global fashion brand United Colors of Benetton (UCB) has come up with a “unisex hijab”. While many Islamic countries are still battling to establish gender equality and protect the rights of those from the LGBTQ community, the unique yet traditional headgear is winning hearts all over. Available in four colours-black, yellow, red and green, the hijabs are priced at approximately £29.95 (INR 3,009).
According to the official website of the Italian brand, the unisex hijabs are ornate with monogram prints designed by Italian rapper Ghali Amdoun. Interestingly, Ghali traces his roots from the Islamic country of Tunisia, where his parents were born. The headgears are a part of the ‘United Colors of Ghali’ collection of apparel which also include bags, joggers amongst others.
