This is the model everyone is talking about

And she wears her hijab everywhere

Suddenly she was there. With Kanye no less. A month or so ago he was still having a cup of tea with Donald Trump, now he showed himself to be totally not from the patriotic all American camp. The stunning Halima Aden walked his Yeezy show. With her hijab. Because a little Muslim woman doesn't throw that off. Not even in the name of fashion.

“The stunning Halima Aden walked his Yeezy show. With her hijab.”

And Halima is a hit. She is on the cover of CR magazine by Carine Roitfeld, just walked Max Mara and quickly gained 67,000 followers on her Instagram counter. The question that is circulating in the modeling world is: who is that woman? And where does she come from?

  1. Halima Aden, also known as @kinglimaa on Instagram. Born in a refugee camp in Kenya. She fled with her mother to the United States when she was six years old and now lives with her mother in Minnesota. Eat that, Donald.
  2. She won a beauty pageant. WITH hijab. Whether there was also a swimsuit round is the question.
  3. She studies at St. Cloud University in Minnesota and has her #lifegoal of becoming a UN ambassador hanging above her bed.
  4. Halima has said nothing publicly about Trump's views on Muslims, but her latest Instagram post has the text ‘this is for you’ with the hashtag ‘MuslimGirlsCan’. And so it is.
