As of April 2019, Aden is the first model to wear the hijab and burkini in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. [1]
This is not the first time in her career that she has been able to break boundaries, further diversifying the industry to be more inclusive of Muslims. [2] Aden stated on her Instagram that her appearance in Sport's Illustrated sends a message to both her community and the world that "women of all different backgrounds, looks, upbringings...can stand together and be celebrated." [3]
Now entering the fashion-designing world, Aden has collaborated with modest clothing brand Modanisa to design her own turban and shawl collection. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Aden stated that her collection is for everyone, regardless of whether they wear the hijab or not. [4]
In 2018, Aden became a UNICEF ambassador. Her work is focused around children's rights. [5]
Aden’s modelling contract includes her Hijab, as she has made it a non-negotiable part of her work. [6]
Aden has spoken out about difficulties she faces in booking modeling jobs that are not accommodating to the fact that she wears the Hijab. She described positive experiences as with Maxmara, where looks were specifically designed for her considering her clothing choices. Aden reaffirms that she does not need to conform to society’s standards in order to be a successful model.
