H&M and Muslim Culture

Ive decided to pick an article that was published in October 13th, 2015. The article is about a young lady by the name of Idrissi in which she is from London. This article grabbed my attention because it is something different. The caption alone grabbed my attention because it is rare for an individual to see a Muslim women in hijab- which is a veil that covers the face and body of women. Now this article was interviewing Wilkes Students to see how they felt about this H&M's new ad campaign. One student believes that "Islam has nothing to do with it and it is not against it, but that me" while another student said, "staying away from modeling is preferable because it could lead to women following new trends of hijab..." I personally feel that H&M has done a great thing and its amazing to see new faces, cultures and traditions on the H&M spread. We live in a country of diversity but we also live in a country who is at times stubborn to change and is quick to judge. So I'm glad to see what doors this campaign can open.
