MODEL OF MODESTY

Maria Alia Al-sadek

OVERVIEW

Fun summer fashion shoot at Wave Hill with the Palestinian/Puerto Rican model Maria Alia Al-sadek, who has 411K Instagram followers and has been featured in campaigns for H&M, L'Oreal, Glossier, and Macy's. As an advocate for modesty in fashion, she always insists on wearing a stylish hijab or headscarf. “I have been on a few shoots where my modest dressing wasn’t fully understood or embraced and I had to put my foot down on what I felt comfortable wearing,” Al-Sadek said.
