Sputnik News (h/t Sara S) The winner, Imane Asry, a Muslim student of economics, suggested that the time was ripe to normalize the hijab in the fashion industry, which she called “superficial and homogeneous”.
During the Elle gala in Sweden, influencer Imane Asry, a popular hijabi blogger was picked for the “Look of the Year” award, in collaboration with L´Oréal Paris.
Asry is an influencer with over 150,000 followers on her Instagram page Fashion with Faith, who earlier described herself as “Muslim fashion-crazy girl”. She received the award from last year’s winner Linnea Henriksson.
“This prize, it is for all of us who did not see ourselves in the fashion magazines, because we did not fit in. And with that said, I want to say: We can too”, Asry commented on her victory.
“I was absolutely convinced that someone who looked like me could not win such an award. In addition, being a visible Muslim woman with an influence in fashion Sweden feels almost unreal! It makes me so happy to see such changes in an otherwise very superficial and homogeneous industry.”
Asry, a student of economics, was voted by Elle’s readers and followers. She described her style as “modest fashion” and a way of meeting spiritual and stylistic requirements.
“I think my style reaches out and inspires so many, not just Muslim women. Also, many people can identify with my work. This is a confirmation that the time is more than ripe for us to start normalising the hijab in the fashion industry. Fashion is for everyone,” Asry concluded.
However, the nomination ruffled a lot of feathers among the Swedish public, where many thought Elle was indirectly supporting the oppression of women.
Writer and columnist Ann Heberlein likened Elle to the Scripture for fashion enthusiasts around the world, which is why its stance matters.
Heberlein, who holds a doctorate in ethics, suggested in her opinion piece in Nyheter Idag.
Others didn’t stop there. Writer and journalist Katerina Janouch raged against the choice of nominee as oppressive.
“Every free woman should stand up and demand that the ‘Look of the Year’ award be given to someone else than Islamist Imane Asry. Otherwise, it seems Elle has taken a stance – FOR women’s oppression, against women’s freedom”, Janouch tweeted.

In Sweden, eventual legalization of female circumcision wouldn’t surprise me at all!
Andrew says
Nothing says “Fashion” a much as a wee muslim girl in a black head scarf, a black sweater up to her chin, a long back coat, black pants and white shoes as does this wee fashionista denigrating the very fashion magazine she gets an award from, meanwhile we are all supposed to cheer this nonsense as i can almost see her hands…
Oh the shame her family must feel, maybe they will “Honor” her later…

Sickening. Next goat humping going to be a national trend. Most Europeans are a bunch of eunuchs .believe it’s not going to get better over there
Charles Black says
Sweden is exhibit A why islam and civilization don’t mix.
Thomas Richard says
No sympathy! They brought them in!
Steve S says
Oh, don’t be such a slave to fashion!
Linda Rivera says
Fashionable. Are they insane.
The MILITARY-POLITICAL Islamic cult clothing/headgear she’s wearing is ugly, drab and extremely unfeminine.
Linda Rivera says
Where are the protests against the decades long HUGE, BARBARIC MUSLIM RAPE JIHAD in Britain and Europe against our severely persecuted, terrorized, non Muslim women and children.
It’s perverted, evil and wicked to honour warlord Mohammad’s Cruel, dark death god with the Islamic military-political head covering.
Rapes and sex slavery of non Muslims is part of God hating Sharia. This terrible sin against the HOLY ONE and horrific crime against non Muslims is legal in Islam.
PROTECT our frightened, defenseless women and children. It’s one of many reasons why Muslims should NEVER be given residency in our countries.

Where is her shopping cart full of trash? She looks like a bag lady.
BF says
FGM is already widespread – Western women have been having designer vaginas done for years at great expense (likely paid by their husbands / lovers / pimps). All they need to have are deeper cuts during the procedures. Personally as a CIS male what turns me off women is apart from left-wing feminazis, are lips obviously pumped up with filler, artificial over-sized boobs, enhanced over-sized butts, and designer vaginas.
BF says
BTW I don’t like Dolly Parton either.
BareNakedIslam says
BF, what is a CIS male? Does that mean normal?
bioya1 says
A “cis” person is a person who was assigned a gender and sex at birth that they feel comfortable with.
BareNakedIslam says
Yes, the normal people.
Leonie Z. Pipe says
In other words, a female or a male with normal female or male behaviours.
I’m asexual, by the way, which is not normal, but all this gender nonsense drives me nuts. I’m female and unmarried, not in a relationship, never been in a serious relationship, and I prefer to be called Miss (not Ms), or Dr. if expedient (I earned my PhD from a reputable university, and it wasn’t in gender studies).
BP says
Out of 52 genders – I kid you not – Wiki says:
“Cisgender is a term for people whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned at birth. For example, someone who identifies as a woman and was assigned female at birth is a cisgender woman. The term cisgender is the opposite of the word transgender. Related terms include cissexism and cisnormativity.”
The mind boggles.
BP says
Cismale can also be a term of sexist abuse against males from the Feminazis / MeToo# fraternity.
BareNakedIslam says
And I just heard about a teacher who got fired for telling the class there were only 2 genders.
BP says
Well there is a report in the UK from June 2019 that a teenager was expelled for arguing with a teacher that there are only two genders …
Teenager who went viral after arguing with his teacher that there are only two genders barred from returning to the school to finish his education

I will say it here – there are ONLY TWO genders – period.
BareNakedIslam says
BP, it’s odd, leftists are always the first to use “settled science” in their arguments about Climate Change and other things. But they totally ignore science when they want to push their insane multiple gender crap. Even with transgenders, no matter that they take hormones and mutilate their genitals, their DNA is always one of only two genders.
Gornish-Helfen says
They are not using settled science. They are using their own phantastical belief system.
By the way, methinks that the currently popular number is 72 for number of sexes. lol is that not the number of virgins waiting in heaven for jihadi martyrs??
Also, there are those who are born with defective gene set, (these are not hermaphrodites). The females have Turner syndrome and the males have Klinefelter’s syndrome. For those interested, both can be googled. Sometimes the latter is very mild and not diagnosed until adulthood, or rather is not diagnosed properly.
Both of these syndromes are quite rare,
BareNakedIslam says
But the DNA never changes. Case Closed.
MTMLA says
When she goes camping, she doesn’t need to carry a tent, she’s already wearing it!!!
What’s going on with these non muslim women in their persuit of tolerance and PC??? They’ll eventually destroy themselves.Totally pathetic and dangerous. I never bought Elle magazine and will never do.
Az gal says
This hijabi is now part of this “superficial” industry. So unMoslem-like. Look at all the makeup & decoration!
Folks, line up for your FGM next!
Leonie Z. Pipe says
Sweden has gone from riches to rags in more ways than one!
Alexis says
Performed at your favorite tattoo parlor, paid for with government funds. You want to be cool, right?
Hartmut says
First Sweden so which country is next, France or Germany?
It takes a lot of self-contempt to wear the baggy pants to the head bag too.
