After signing with IMG less than a week ago, the Somali-American model Halima Aden made her New York Fashion Week debut at Yeezy Season 5 wearing her hijab and a floor-length tan fur coat from the collection. The beauty hit the catwalk in her hijab, proudly representing Muslim women around the world while she was at it.

It was a statement that not only turned heads, but got the industry buzzing about the 19-year-old who stole the show on the catwalk. Aden first got everyone’s attention when she donned her scarf and a burkini at the Miss Minnesota pageant last year.

Aden was born in a Kenyan refugee camp and didn’t have her sights set on becoming a model. “I didn’t really have modeling in mind,” the Muslim, model who later became an American citizen, told BoF. “I wanted to spread a positive message about beauty and diversity, and to show other young Muslim women that there is room for them.”
