American Eagle’s Introduces Denim Hijab

Another step in the right direction!

American Eagle recently debuted a denim hijab, a forward move in the fashion industry. Muslim model and Somali refugee, Halima Aden, shows off the fashionable hijab in American Eagle’s Fall ’17 denim advertisement. The campaign contains a diverse group of models, promoting the company’s fashion diversity motives.

The denim hijab is available for $19.95 in a dark-indigo wash. The hijab allows Muslim women to pursue the stylish denim trend while still adhering to religious traditions.

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.
