Halima Aden, a hijab wearing model from the United States, featuring a creation by designer Rasit Bagzibagli for Modanisa, an online retailer of modest fashion, poses for the photographers, during a fashion show in Istanbul, Monday, March 26, 2018. Aden, born to Somali parents in a UN refugee camp in northeastern Kenya before moving to the US, was shot to prominence in 2016 when she entered the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, the first beauty pageant contestant in the U.S. to wear a hijab. While there have been other Muslim models to make a name in the fashion industry, Aden is the first Muslim model who chooses to wear a hijab and dress modestly while on the job.
