Clad in a navy-and-black striped belted coat with flared pants styled underneath, the 19-year-old Somali-American walked the runway like a pro, reported New York Post.

Aden recently signed with the IMG agency and walked the runway at Kanye West's Yeezy Season 5 show during New York Fashion Week earlier this month. Ferretti's fashion show comes a day after the model made her fashion magazine cover debut for CR Fashion Book.

In the magazine, she is interviewed by David Bowie's widow Iman, a fellow Somali fashion icon, and discusses the importance of wearing her hijab on the cover. "I always tell (people), 'Just look around you, there are Muslim women who wear it and Muslim women who don't'," she said.

"We have to break the stereotype. I think often the West does not understand the history and the privilege of wearing a hijab. They always think of oppression." The model is focused on her fashion career, but she also has plans to become a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

"I just think that there's so much work to be done. I remember when I lived in a refugee camp, it was the people who weren't Somali, the people who came from Western countries, who helped the most. I remember being six and thinking, 'I want to be one of those women because I knew how much they helped us'." And she understands the pressure that comes with representing Muslims.

"I wish I could tell (people), 'Hey, I'm not a perfect Muslim'. A lot of people had a misconception that I would be the perfect poster child for Islam," she said.

"So I got a lot of Instagram comments like, 'Oh, you don't have your neck covered, you're not a Muslim!' My thing is, 'Stop judging women, especially if you're a man, because you don't know the responsibility that comes with wearing a hijab'."

In the title they mentioned HIJABI MODEL , anybody can wear hijab, even we find Christian nuns wear it, most of hindu women make hijab even better, they cover their heads better than this hijabi Model in above picture is wearing. So please do not link hijab to muslim identity,
For all of you kind information what this women is wearing DOES NOT REPRESENTS THE ACTUAL HIJAB, ITS DOES NOT FULFIL THE CRITERIA OF ISLAMIC HIJAB.
And beauty is not for comparison and creator Allah had made each and every one unique . THIS FASHION SHOWS ARE JUST EXPLOITING WOMEN AND NOTHING ELSE.

Bengaluru, May 6: Arrested JD-S MLA H.D. Revanna, the son of former PM H.D. Deve Gowda, on Sunday said that there is no evidence against him in the sex video scandal kidnapping case and that it was a "conspiracy" against him.

Talking to the media, while being taken for a medical test before being produced in front of a court here, Revanna stated that a kidnapping case had been lodged against him though he does not have 'one black mark' against him in his entire career of 40 years.

"Without evidence, I have been targeted... All allegations against me are false. My arrest has been made out of ill intention," he claimed.

"The case was lodged on April 28, then, they did not have any evidence. Later, the fake evidence was created on May 2 and I was fixed," he alleged.

Home Minister Dr G. Parameshwara stated on Sunday that a Blue Corner notice has already been issued against Revanna's son and MP Prajwal Revanna, the prime accused in the sex video scandal, as he is believed to be abroad.

"The Interpol will communicate to all nations and he will be located. Once he is located, the SIT will take a call on how he should be secured and brought back to India," he added.

Revanna was arrested on Saturday on charges of kidnapping one of the victims of the sex video scandal.

Parameshwara further maintained that the arrest of Revanna has saddened JD-S leaders and if action was not taken, the SIT would be blamed too.

Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge refused to comment on the alleged sex video scandal involving Prajwal Revanna.

About Revanna's arrest, he said that the SIT would initiate action as per the law. "Those indulging in such acts must be taught a lesson and justice should be given to the families of victims. No one can escape the law. No one should use this case politically," he stated.

Mangaluru: A native of Kerala was arrested on charge of misbehaving with crew on an Air India Express flight while travelling from Dubai to Mangaluru International Airport. The man even threatened to jump from the aircraft, according to officials. 

Siddartha Das, the security coordinator for Air India Express, lodged a complaint against the passenger, identified as Muhammad BC from Kannur, Kerala, after which he was caught by the airport security once the flight landed at Mangaluru. He was later handed over to the police.

DCP (Law and Order) Sidharth Goyal said the incident occurred on Flight IX814 on May 8.

When the flight was above the sea, Muhammad reportedly said he wanted to get off the plane, posing a threat to all on board. The unruly flyer was detained by airport security once the flight landed at Mangaluru International Airport and he was handed over to Bajpe police station officials.

Sources added once the flight took off from Dubai, the accused went to the lavatory and thereafter started inquiring with the cabin crew about a person named Krishna who was not on the flight. Muhammad kept on pressing the bell for in-flight assistance, even though the cabin crew members were near at hand. He then picked up a life jacket, gave it to a crew member, and said he wanted to use it upon landing.
