Halima Aden: Milan fashion week's star of the season

The first hijab-wearing woman to be signed to IMG models, the Somali-American made her catwalk debut for Kanye West’s autumn/winter 2017 Yeezy collection. Now she’s stealing the show at Milan

A woman dressed in western clothes and a hijab is a common sight across Europe’s capital cities – a fact now reflected on the catwalk at Milan fashion week.

Halima Aden, a Somali-American model, is fast becoming fashion’s face of 2017, currently stealing the show at fashion week from the catwalk superstar Gigi Hadid.

Getting great tips from a supermodel sure does help ❤️ meeting @candicehuffine , @parisjackson , and @gigihadid on the set of @crfashionbook prepared me so much! I can't thank them enough for the warm hugs, kind words, and most of all AMAZING tips ❤️❤️

This is for you ❤️ #MuslimGirlsCan
