American Eagle’s new fashion statement is making a huge acceptance statement for all women. It is encouraging women worldwide to celebrate and show off their culture and style and overall, what makes them themselves!

In Vogue Arabia video, Halima stated, “Every little girl deserves to see a role model that’s dressed like her, resembles her or even has the same characteristics of her.”

Let’s get a round of applause for American Eagle and the fashion industry for moving towards acceptance and inclusivity.
