Why Victoria Makalah King Became a Tech-Based Fashion Designer
THE ORIGIN STORY
“Because if I didn’t, I might not be a hijabi anymore.”I stopped wearing hijab to the gym. Not because I lost faith — but because my scalp couldn’t take it. The sweat. The itch. The shame.
I wanted to run, to lift, to move.
To sweat for my goals —not because of my gear.
THE PROBLEM
Islam is the fastest-growing religion on earth.
But Muslim women are the fastest-growing consumer force being ignored.
We’ve been told:
“The hijab is hot — but Hell is hotter.”
I don’t accept that.
Sincerity shouldn’t be measured by suffering.
We were never meant to overheat for Allah.
THE PRAYER & THE ANSWER
“May Allah make it easy for you.”
That’s what they say.
This brand is me saying:Ameen. With action. With design.
This isn’t just a product.
It’sreclaiming modesty on our terms. We’re not asking for permission — we’re demanding innovation.
WHO I DESIGN FOR
The woman who dreads the gym because her undercap traps heat.
The one dreaming of Hajj — but fears the sun.
The modest girl thriving in summer.
The hijabi with scalp irritation, edge loss, or hairline pain.
This isn’t for everyone.
It’s for the ones who know.
THE TECH-BASED FASHION LINE
This is performance fabric meets performance faith.
✓ NASA-level cooling
✓ 60% less sweat
✓ Bacteria-killing nano zinc
✓ Built-in antiviral freshness
✓ Pearl powder + biominerals
It’s dang near couture. You don’t wear this.
You ascend in it.
THE MOVEMENT
If Dior was a love letter to postwar femininity,
VeilAI is a battle cry for modern modesty.
If SKIMS reshaped the body,
we cool it down — and set it free.
This is cultural reset.
This is faith and freedom breathing the same air.
Modesty — reimagined, refined, and ready for heat.
