Halima Aden, a 19-year-old hijab-wearing model, has landed her very first Vogue cover for Vogue Arabia. Aden has graced international runways, and is planning to soon be signed to a major agency.
Aden she made her modeling debut in February at Kanye West‘s Yeezy Season 5 presentation during New York Fashion Week. Vogue Arabia announced that she will be the cover star of their June issue, “All Eyes on Halima.” They released the cover earlier today, which features Aden in full hijab, with a tagline referring to her as “the runway star shattering stereotypes.”
In a behind the scene video from Vogue Arabia, Aden spoke about the importance of broader representation in the world of fashion. “Every little girl deserves to see a role model that’s dressed like her, resembles her or even has the same characteristics as her,” says Aden. “I think beauty is for everyone and I think everyone can look beautiful, you just have to be confident.”
