Somali American model Halima Aden has laded the cover of Vogue Arabia‘s June 2017 issue, a feat that makes her the first to wear a hajib on the cover of a Vogue magazine. Photographed by Greg Kadel, the 19-year old was shot wearing designs by Dior, Max Mara (whose fall 2017 runway she walked earlier this year), Norma Kamali, among others.

While it’s significant that Vogue has placed Adenwearing a hajib  on its cover, she let the magazine know back in April that she is more than the garments she wears. “When I’m walking the runway I want people to see that, yes, I’m wearing a hijab, but I’m also a million other things. I want us to get to a place where we just see women,” she explained.

While Aden had her first brush with fame through her participation in a Minnesota beauty contest, her big crossover to fashion came when Kanye West tapped her to walk his fall 2017 Yeezy Season 5 presentation in September 2016.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
