Halima Aden, Muslim faith and fashion - a campaign for change

大象传媒 global religion correspondent Sodaba Haidare brings together Halima Aden and US fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger to discuss meaningful change in the fashion industry.

Halima Aden made history when she became the world's first hijab-wearing supermodel and went on to feature in campaigns for some of the biggest names in the fashion industry.

But over time, she felt the industry was clashing with her Muslim faith and in November 2020, she announced on Instagram that she was quitting.

In this episode of 5 Minutes On, 大象传媒 global religion correspondent Sodaba Haidare brings together Halima and US fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger to discuss diversity and how to go beyond tokenism to deliver meaningful change in the fashion industry.
