During the autumn and winter 2017 fashion weeks we witnessed the first hijab-wearing model, Halima Aden, walk at Yeezy and Max Mara. This is a sign of inclusion and diversity in an industry where standardised patterns are constantly repeated. The Somali-American model has signed with IMG models, the same agency as Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham and many other famous names in the field. Which means that we will see her flaunt her way in other catwalk shows and ad campaigns in the future.
Not only has a community of beautiful women been represented during this season by Halima, but also, we have many labels styling head scarves in their shows. You can be true to your identity and wear trends that will make you feel good about yourself. Let’s celebrate the multiplicity of people in the world and their fashionable choices!
