Model Halima Aden creates face masks for hijab-wearing frontline workers

Halima Aden

The brand Anywear partnered up with Somali-American supermodel Halima Aden to make face masks designed for women wearing hijab as part of their #BandingTogether campaign.


The face coverings come with built-in extenders that let the wearer clasp their mask behind their head to avoid discomfort behind the ears.


They cost $45 (£35) and for every set sold, one is given for free to frontline workers.


“Having worked in a hospital, even several months into my modelling career, it was important for me to support this project,” Aden said in a statement.

"As many hijab-wearing women are working at health care facilities, I wanted to make sure they have a comfortable option for wearing a mask while keeping their hair covered,” she continued.
