Stitching Identity and Empowerment: Saeedah Haque’s Fashion Revolution.
In the heart of every individual, there’s always a story unfolding, often quietly, sometimes loudly. For Saeedah Haque, that story began with a simple, personal quest: to find clothing that was true to herself and many others. It was about respecting religious choices, but also something that held true to the culture of the streets she loved.
In today’s world, where personal expression becomes a melting pot for cultural and political disputes, Saeedah Haque stands wilful when it comes to resilience and innovation. Her journey isn’t only about fashion choices; it is about identity, resistance, and empowerment. With regards to the hijab ban, Saeedah’s response was not protest signs and slogans but a pioneering fashion line in a bold collaboration with Nike.
Visual Activism: Saeedah Haque’s Journey on Instagram and TikTok.
Saeedah also uses social media, such as Instagram and TikTok, to set the stage for activism. Each post combines beautiful visuals with compelling stories—a unique way to show the struggle for cultural identity—and resonates with those who see their reflections in her creations. They are chapters of a story, with each garment a character, each design a dialogue, and each caption an invitation into her world.
Her Instagram and TikTok platforms are about the impact she wants to continue making by showing her designs, sharing her journey, her milestones, and her beliefs. From speaking at London Fashion Week to standing in solidarity with her Muslim sisters in France, Saeedah uses her platform to highlight the political nature of fashion as well as her commitment to her community.

Empowering Voices and Style: Saeedah Haque’s Nike Collaboration and Fashion Revolution.
The “Nike by You x Saeedah Haque” collection is a meeting of shared cultural identities and ideologies. It is also a wish and a celebration of freedom and solidarity in the face of the hijab ban.
To many, the hijab is not just a piece of material; it’s a symbol, a choice, and a voice. And the ban is not a regulation; it’s a silencing. Through her designs, Saeedah seeks to make muted voices heard, challenging norms and showing that modest fashion is about empowerment and choice.
Her journey, starting from a gap in the fashion market to filling it with her heart’s creations, inspires thought for the world. It’s a world where personal stories echo through change and shape public opinion.
Saeedah is weaving a new narrative for Muslim women worldwide. Her brand, the first to revolutionise the traditional Abaya into practical streetwear, reflects a fusion of her South Asian heritage and modern fashion.
Her collaboration with Nike, leading to the first Nike Abaya and Niqab, is a commitment to representation. From her debut with VFiles in New York to features in renowned magazines like Vogue, Saeedah’s work is also known in the fashion landscape. Her designs are a statement, empowering women to embrace their identity unapologetically.
Saeedah Haque’s collaboration with Nike marks a milestone in her ongoing journey. As she continues to stitch resistance and identity into her designs, she invites us to walk with her in this quiet revolution.
