Rawdah Mohamed: Fashion Editor, Vogue Scandinavia

The world of fashion with its often scantily clad women in seductive poses is not where you would expect to find a Somali-born fashion editor who wears a hijab. Rawdah Mohamed has taken up a senior role at the soon-to-be launched Vogue Scandinavia. After moving to Norway as a child she became a model and in April created a social media storm with a post called `Hands off my Hijab'. How far can she use fashion to overturn negative stereotypes of Muslim women?
