MarSea Modest Swimwear in the BBC news: Jerusalem Diary by Tim Franks
BBC did an feature/article about MarSea Modest Swimwear (me) in their online Jerusalem Diary. Please click on link below and see middle article (below arab weightlifter). ** Jerusalem Diary: Man of iron ** BBC Middle East correspondent Tim Franks sends the latest edition of his diary from Jerusalem. Page last updated at 08:06 GMT, Monday, 15 February 2010 E-mail this to a friend Printable version Jerusalem Diary: Man of iron By Tim Franks BBC News, Jerusalem A NEW LINE IN MODESTY Where Mohammed's approach to sport is raw, Marci Rapp aims for greater refinement. There is a market for 'modest' swimwear, Mrs Rapp says "Marsea Modest" is an attempt to plug what Marci, a fashion and textile designer newly arrived in Jerusalem from Canada, thinks is a large hole in the market: products for those women who want "more coverage" in their swimwear. This, says Marci, is much more than an appeal to the haredi (ultra-orthodox Jewish) market. "There are various reasons women want to cover up more," she says. Some, like her, are orthodox Jewish women who want to be "modest" in their bathing costume. "Others want to cover up from the sun; and some women want to cover up for medical reasons, or because of their age or their weight." For the time being, she is operating - small-scale - out of her apartment in Jerusalem. But she is convinced that three-quarter length sleeves, adjustable necklines, and a dress that finishes below the knee, all in highly coloured spandex, are a strong combination, at about $70 (£45) a go. This is neither the bikini nor the Islamic full-length burqini. "This," Marci says succinctly, "is for women in between."
