Halima Aden makes history as the first model to wear a burkini in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Sports Illustrated is making history with its 2019 Swimsuit Issue.
The upcoming issue, on sale May 8, features Somali-American supermodel Halima Aden, 21, in a burkini, which is a full-body swimsuit worn by some Muslim women.
Aden, who was born in Kakuma, a refugee camp in Kenya, before moving to the U.S. in 2004, is not only the first model to wear a burkini in the annual swimsuit issue but is also the first hijab-wearing model. Source
