H&M's First Hijab Wearing Model




H&M have made fashion history this week, by featuring the first ever hijab wearing model by the name of Mariah Idrissi. Being the world's second biggest fashion outlet this story gained media attention very quick. Only at age 17 did Mariah starting wearing the hijab and in an interview with fusion blogs she said that "It always feels like women who wear hijab are ignored when it comes to fashion". Which is a big statement to say on which on the most parts is true and Mariah Idrissi hopes she can change that with this new feature with H&M for a more diverse fashion industry regardless of age, gender, ethnicity and religion.



Reports have found to show that there is a major growth in popularity for hijabs and headscarves over the last 7 years or so. The demand for them are growing at a rapid pace and demand are high, in all seven continents around the world. How ever you look at this, its defiantly a bug revelation in the world of fashion and waken people up in fashion and shows how far we have come over the last decade, in fashion for it to be more diverse and more opportunity for everyone to have some sort of belonging, in the market not matter what type of clothing and fashion you are into. So a big thumbs up from me to Mariah Idrissi and H&M.
