"It's all about modesty for me. As a Muslim, being modest is a major thing and I just wanted to showcase to everyone that you can be modest and be into fashion because the hijab itself - apart from representing Islam - represents beauty."
Somalilandsun: Ikram Abdi Omar was the UK’s first hijab-wearing model to feature on the cover of Vogue at the age of 21 and became the face of Burberry in 2019.
The Swedish-born Somali model, now 23 and living in Bristol, said her heritage and religious beliefs have greatly influenced her modelling career.
“I like how everyone can express themselves differently and manage to portray a message with clothing alone,” she said.
