It’s not itsy-bitsy, it’s the burkini

It is a semi-fitting two-piece swimsuit that connects to an ”ahiida hijood” and it will be worn by Australian Muslim lifesavers from January. Sydney designer Aheda Zanetti came up with the design after Surf Life Saving Australia began a drive to recruit more Islamic lifeguards.
