US veiled student named (best dressed)

A New Jersey Muslim has been named best-dressed female senior student

 

A New Jersey Muslim has been named best-dressed female senior student, breaking down negative stereotypes of women wearing the Islamic headscarf.

Winning the best-dressed vote at Clifton High School, Abaram Shahin aims to correct the image of Islamic fashion in the US.

The victory of Shahin reflects the growing acceptance of hijab in American high schools.

Becoming the first-ever veiled student to win the title, the Muslim student plans to study physical therapy at Rutgers besides having a fashion company on the side.

 Last month, a California Muslim student was praised for making a simple high school yearbook quote that sheds light on her Islamic hijab in a creative way.
