Read our privacy policy Halima Aden has teamed up with a fashion startup to produce face masks for frontline health workers who wear hijabs. The masks have been created for short-term use as opposed to 24/7 wear to provide hijab-wearing healthcare workers with something more comfortable to wear given that standard-issue masks don’t account for headscarves and facial coverings. Aden is one of several high-profile fashion names to create a series of masks for the project, labelled “Banding Together”. Hairstylist Chris McMillan and make-up artist Daniel Martin are among those who have also contributed stylish alternative face masks that come with matching headbands.
