Style Notes: Nike Launches Performance Hijab; Ivanka Trump Brand Now Run by Registered Democrat

Nike Launches Performance Hijab [Quartz]
Nike’s newest buzzy product is not a sneaker, but rather a hijab for female athletes, due out next year. The garment is made of a breathable, stretchy material which helps whisk sweat away from the wearer. The length is also extended so that there is less of a chance that it will come off while the wearer is working out. “The Nike Pro Hijab has been a year in the making,” said the company in a statement, “but its impetus can be traced much further back to Nike’s founding mission, to serve athletes, with the signature addendum: If you have a body, you’re an athlete.” In light of recent political events, Nike CEO Mark Parker spoke out against President Donald Trump’s travel ban, which restricts those traveling from the Middle East; the company has also been expanding into the Middle Eastern market.

Abigail Klem, who took over Ivanka Trump’s eponymous brand in January, gave her first interview since assuming control of the company. She spoke with Refinery29‘s Yael Kohen about her relationship with Ivanka (“I feel like, while we’re not banned from speaking personally, I think it’s just easier if we talk as little as possible”), her personal politics (she’s a registered Democrat) and how she’s been handling the fallout from the anti-Trump movement (“We are really committed to having the brand be separate, even from [Ivanka], so certainly her dad is even more distant from that. … And so absolutely, it complicated matters”).
