Always x Nasiba Hafiz have unveiled The Not Hot Collection to "beat the heat in style.". The heat-resistant fashion collection has been launched by Always along with Saudi fashion designer Nasiba Hafiz in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where summer temperatures often exceed 45°C (113°F). Featuring the same soft, tactile mini perforations as the surface of the Always Cool & Dry pad, the collection is made of Cool & Dry performance fabric.
"I was really inspired by the technology of Always Cool & Dry to create this collection, which is perfect for Saudi women living in one of the hottest parts of the world. The pad only covers part of our bodies, but what about the rest of your skin?" explains Hafiz. "The whole purpose of this collection is to use a fabric that has the same functions of the Cool & Dry pad so that women can feel super comfortable, even at that time of the month when they’re not feeling comfortable. I hope it will start a conversation about looking and feeling good in the heat, especially on our period."
Always x Nasiba Hafiz’s Not Hot Collection is selling via a pop-up concept store in Jeddah and online.
