Two Game-changing Women From Different Generations, Continents And Backgrounds Share What The Future Of Fashion Looks Like To Them.

Genevra Leek and Susannah Guthrie
Where To Next
Despite a seemingly relentless number of setbacks, in 2019 the future for women has never looked so bright. To celebrate this, we turned to two pioneering voices pushing forward the conversation about activism and fashion. Somali-American model Halima Aden is breaking boundaries on a near-weekly basis at the tender age of 21, and 78-year-old Robin Morgan, the prolific writer and activist (a contemporary of Gloria Steinem’s), is having an unexpected fashion renaissance courtesy of Christian Dior. Here, they share their stories.

“THE PAST SIX MONTHS have been crazy. I’ve been on a plane every other day, and in the past six weeks, I’ve been home for a total of 24 hours. UOMA cosmetics, my first makeup contract, launched and then my first fashion collaboration with Modanisa dropped. I went from being the first hijabi model to creating a line of turbans and hijabs, which was exciting. Then my Sport’s Illustrated shoot landed.
