Vogue France has been criticized after publishing a social media post that many users branded as offensive to Muslim women amid a culture of increasingly public Islamophobia in France.
on Instagram on Friday of actress and model Julia Fox wearing a piece of fabric wrapped around her head, the outlet accompanied it with the caption"yes to the headscarf."
Houachmi said the hijab had been"reduced to just a simple accessory," with Fox, who is White and non-Muslim, able to wear a headscarf as part of a"trend," while the hijab, in Houachmi's view, is seen by the French government as the"uniform of terrorists." Many users have cited Vogue's choice of words in these circumstances as being particularly insensitive for the French edition, given politicians' efforts to clamp down on the hijab, niqab and burqa.Kanye West, Julia Fox and other highlights from the Paris Fashion Week menswear shows
