Look Out For This Buzzy, Hijab-Wearing Model in the Yeezy Season 5 Show

Last year, Halima Aden's name started trending because she wore a burkini (a modest swimsuit) in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant. Fast-forward to 2017 and Halima, a first-generation Somali-American, not only signed with IMG Models - the same agency that represents Gigi and Bella Hadid - but also landed a photo shoot for CR Fashion Book, run by renowned stylist Carine Roitfeld.

"Halima is breaking boundaries of beauty and perception by being herself," said Carine, who revealed the 19-year-old caught her eye. "I find this incredibly inspiring, and I know she will be an icon."

The 10th edition of the book won't come out until Spring, but both Carine and Halima have shared plenty of photo previews to get us excited. Halima wrote on her Instagram, "I signed with the top modeling agency in the WORLD and still wore my hijab as my crown." These are not only powerful words by Halima, but with IMG representing her, this is also taking a step in the right direction toward a more diverse and inclusive fashion industry.

The model will make her debut in Kanye West's Yeezy Season 5 show during Fashion Week, and we can only assume she'll be proudly rocking her hijab. Keep your eyes on on Halima, because this future top model is just getting started.
