A burkini is a full-body swimsuit that covers everything except the face, hands and feet.
The full-body swimwear is preferred by some Muslim women.
The name is a mix of the words “burka” and “bikini”. However, unlike burkas, burkinis do not cover the face.

Burkinis are marketed to Muslim women as a way for them to swim in public while adhering to strict modesty edicts.
France’s bans on burkini have referred to religious clothing and as they were loosely phrased, came to be understood to include full-length clothing and head coverings worn on the beach – not just burkini swimsuits.
In 2010, France became the first European country to ban the full-face veil in public.
A 2004 law forbids the wearing of religious emblems in schools and colleges.
The 1905 constitution aims to separate Church and state. It enshrines secularism in education but also guarantees the freedom of religion and freedom to exercise it. The original text made no reference to clothing.

Plus-size model Robyn Lawley has defied ideals of “thinness equals beauty” to star on the world’s most covetable magazine covers and ad campaigns, and now she is taking on the plus-size swimwear market.
Sydney native Robyn Lawley, 24, has teamed up with Bond-Eye Australia to launch a collection of bikinis and one pieces available in U.S. sizes 8 to 18, designed specifically for fashionable women with curves.
“I swim almost daily, and I found most swimwear that came in my size to be boring and unflattering with no real fashion elements,” she told Refinery 29.
“I also couldn’t find any bikinis that supported my bust in the surf, or had a high enough rise in the stomach section to be flattering, so the idea was born from my own necessity and grew from there.”
Robyn Lawley, who was the first plus-size model to star in a Ralph Lauren campaign and in the pages of Vogue Australia, hopes that Robyn Lawley Swimwear, which ranges in price from $140 to $200, will be “the go-to brand for swimwear for all women”.

“For this first collection, I decided to start in a size range that 80% of women live between,” she explained.
“We will add sizing according to the feedback we receive and we are really hoping the demand is there.”
With plenty of swimwear experience under her belt (most recently her curves modeled H&M’s plus-size swim collection), Robyn Lawley said that the collection’s sizing is “true” for every swimsuit.
“Regular swimwear brands tend to be very small fit, and you often find yourself going up one or two sizes to be comfortable. This is not the case with my line,” she explained.
With a touch of retro, glamour and “urban edge”, the flattering collection is peppered with Robyn Lawley’s own personality.
“My dragon fruit one-piece was inspired by my love of food,” she said, referring to her well-documented infatuation with cooking.
When she is not gracing magazine covers, the six-foot-two-inch model writes a food blog, Robyn Lawley Eats – a side hobby that has been praised by the fashion industry as leading the way for a more positive body image.
Despite the fact that 50% of women wear a U.S. size 14 or larger, designers routinely cater to sizes 14 or smaller, and Robyn Lawlely hopes to be the catalyst to change that.
Robyn Lawley told Good Morning America last year: “I genuinely want companies to take notice and start being more realistic about who their customer really is. I hope to keep breaking down those barriers.”
Kim Kardashian went one step further to prove she has the curvy credentials during a visit to Miami Beach on Monday with her sister Kourtney.
While her older sibling – who recently gave birth to her second child Penelope – rocked a white T-shirt and shorts, Kim Kardashian opted for something more attention grabbing.
Sporting a white swimsuit which enabled her ample cleavage, the 31-year-old cinched her waist in with a gold sash which appeared to be wrapped around her midriff several times.
The reality star wore a long sheer shirt dress over the ensemble and it’s a wonder how she was able to breathe.

However, Kim Kardashian smiled as she made the appearance on the boardwalk followed by fans who recognized her.
She carried her cream sandals in one hand and paraded her pins in the high bikini line costume.
In between taking dips in the ocean, the brunette went back to a cabana bed to sit down.
But she soon resorted to laying out on her side to make what was supposed to be a relaxing experience more comfortable.
The siblings are in the holiday region to film their E! reality TV show Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.
The pair will be working on their Dash clothing and accessories shop which they have branches of in New York and California.
Kim Kardashian’s current boyfriend Kanye West appeared on the NYC version of the show while she was happily married to estranged husband Kris Humphries.
The fashion conscious rapper is thought to be behind many of her style choices lately.
Lindsay Lohan stripped off by the pool while relaxing at a Hollywood hotel over the weekend.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, put her curves on show in a daring white swimsuit which featured a plunging sheer front.

The swimsuit is something of a departure from Lindsay Lohan’s usual style, with the actress usually favoring bikinis to show off her figure to its full potential.
But perhaps Lindsay Lohan is attempting to give herself a bit of makeover, amid reports she is set to star in the next video from eccentric pop star Lady Gaga.
The pair first hit the headlines with their friendship when they enjoyed a night out together at Chateau Marmont.
And now Lady Gaga is said to be keen to sign Lindsay Lohan up for the video for one of her new tracks.
A source told the New York Post: “Lady Gaga and Lindsay caused a stir last month when they had their <<sleepover>> at the Chateau. And now it turns out that Lindsay will be starring in Gaga’s new video from her upcoming album ARTPOP.”
It is unknown as yet what video Lindsay Lohan will make an appearance in.
