Vogue France Says ‘Yes To The Headscarf; Some Muslim Women Not Happy
Vogue France has been criticized after publishing a social media post many users branded as offensive to Muslim women.
It shared a photo on Instagram on Friday of actress and model Julia Fox wearing a piece of fabric wrapped around her head with the caption “yes to the headscarf.”
Since then, the caption has been edited to remove the line.
The photo was posted as part of a montage featuring Fox and her boyfriend, rapper Kanye West, at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.
French-Moroccan model and activist Hanan Houachmi told CNN the hijab has been “reduced to just a simple accessory.”
Meanwhile, the hijab is seen by the French government as the “uniform of terrorists,” she said.
