3 Muslim models who walked the Milan Fashion Week runway

>Milan Fashion Week, which took place between February 21-27, made international headlines this year. 

Without a doubt, the many luxury designers taking part of the show were one of the reasons, but the participation of three Muslim models - two of whom are hijabis - was the ultimate highlight of the event. 

Somali-American Halima Aden, Danish Amina Adan, and Dutch-Moroccan-Egyptian Imaan Hammam all >took part in this season's fashion week in Milan, Italy. 

Both Aden and Adan donned Max Mara's Fall 2018 collection, showcasing bold, dark, and edgy outfits. Hammam >appeared on Versace's runway the following day in a little black dress.

Amina Adan sported a grey pantsuit combo with a black leopard-print hijab. The Danish hijabi model, who is >signed by Unique Models, stunned the audience and media with her first international fashion show participation. Previously in the season, she >walked at the Copenhagen Fashion Week. 

Stealing the spotlight was Somali-American Aden, who had walked for Max Mara in 2017 for the first time and had recently risen to fame for being featured in several international campaigns.

Aden, who >was born in a refugee camp in Kenya, first made headlines when she became the first hijabi Miss USA contestant back in 2016. 

She >signed with IMG Models - home to Gigi and Bella Hadid and Miranda Kerr - has walked Kanye West's NYFW Yeezy Collection in 2017, and was featured in Rihanna's >Fenty Beauty makeup line. 

On the other hand, Imaan Hammam walked the runway for Versace on February 23, wearing a mini black dress paired with a statement belt. 

Commemorating her success, Hammam posted a >video of her walk with the caption, "Walk it like i talk it." 

It's been a long time coming for Muslim women who wear the headscarf; from being featured in an international >H&M campaign to having their very own >Nike line, hijabis are making a statement everywhere, and fashion brands are starting to pay attention.
