Nama pereka fesyen kacukan British-Jepun, Hana Tajima, terus menjadi sebutan kerana karya skarf dan stail hijabi yang dihasilkan memberi definisi baru kepada cara generasi muda berpakaian.
Meskipun identiti Hana Tajima kini tidak lagi berhijab seperti dulu, namun beliau tetap meneruskan minat dan kerjaya seninya dalam fesyen.
Mahu keluar dari kepompong rekaan Islamik dan lebih berpaksikan gaya moden, hala tuju Hana walau bagaimanapun tetap kelihatan sopan serta tidak terlalu mendedahkan kulit.
Buktinya melalui koleksi dress HANA TAJIMA FOR UNIQLO 2022 Spring/Summer ini, beliau selesa dengan potongan separas betis, ringkas dan selesa.
“Helaian dress ini seharusnya menjadi pakaian paling mudah dipakai dalam dunia. Saya mahu membuat pemakainya berasa seronok dan selesa menyarung dress ini.” Hana Tajima
Berusia 36 tahun, wanita yang pernah diangkat sebagai ikon hijab sejak sedekad lalu dilihat seperti sedang ‘berjuang’ mempertahankan prinsip dirinya sekarang.
Meninjau di ruangan komen, kebanyakan netizen meluahkan rasa ‘kurang senang’ dengan tindakan beliau yang seharusnya menjadi inspirasi, khususnya di kalangan Muslimah.
Tak kurang juga yang memberi kata-kata semangat dan berharap beliau kembali istiqamah dengan imej hijab.
Majoriti peminat Hana Tajima merupakan followers beliau sejak dahulu lagi serta menjadikan beliau sebagai sumber inspirasi fesyen hijab mereka.
Penerangan Hana Tajima di Instagram
So this is me… These are difficult things to say, and I have gone back and forth about how best to explain, but let me put it all out there. When I cover my hair, I don’t always cover my ears or my neck. I don’t always cover my hair. I don’t always cover my hair completely.
Finding my own balance with hijab has not been easy, but it’s something I have thought a lot about.
I can understand why hijabi role models on social media have decided to stop wearing the headscarf. You invite so much pressure. A perfection that is under scrutiny all the time. So much so that you can begin to question, “am I just doing this to keep other people happy?” It’s not easy. Especially if you live in a country where wearing a headscarf is stigmatized. But I love my scarf, and am learning to love it more now that it’s less a costume or a part of an outward identity, and more a part of me. Someone who is conflicted and still trying to figure it out.
Moreover I firmly believe that as far as being Muslim goes, wearing a headscarf gets so much more focus than it deserves. People do good things, and bad things, but a head covering alone does not tell you the weight or value of a person’s character.
So please think about those things sincerely before you type or tell someone how they should look. We really don’t need more ways to police women’s bodies.
In writing this I am choosing to accept myself as I am, accepting the grey area, and contradictions that make us human. To know that I can do better still, but to turn my focus away from the headscarf as a measurement of ‘better’.
That’s not all there is to say, but it’s a start.
ISTIQAMAH
Menyedihkan juga apabila Hana Tajima berasa gaya hijabnya sering dinilai, malah meminta para pengikut menerima diri beliau seadanya.
Bagi wanita yang mengikuti Hana Tajima sejak di bangku sekolah, tentu sekali terkejut dengan perubahan beliau yang dilihat semakin moden dan liberal. Khasnya dalam fesyen.
Apa pun, tepuk dada tanya selera. Doakan yang baik-baik buat saudara Muslimah kita, mudah-mudahan suatu hari nanti beliau kembali dengan imej Muslimah yang lebih baik! InsyaAllah.
