Wearing a Hijab on the Runway Is Built Into Halima Aden’s Contract
Halima Aden, the first hijab-wearing model to sign with IMG and Teen Vogue’s July cover star, has built a career around being a trailblazer.
She was the first to compete in the Miss Minnesota pageant and the first to walk the runways in New York and Milan while wearing a hijab, and she’s just been named an ambassador for UNICEF, a humanitarian organization that serves children and mothers around the world.
“When I got that opportunity to sign with IMG models, I made sure I wasn’t conforming,” Halima told CBS This Morning.
