American Eagle
Last year, American Eagle Outfitters launched the #WeAllCan campaign to celebrate the younger generation’s unique voice and individuality. It racked a lot of attention (for all the right reasons), and the retailer is back again this year with their #ICAN movement.
Similar to the previous year, this campaign is all about encouraging millennials to break stereotypes. It features a cast of young models from varied industries and backgrounds including a bull rider, vlogger, basketball player, body positivity activist, and more.
We were especially thrilled to see Somali-American model, Halima Aden, as one of the faces of the campaign — captured mid-laughter in her braces and wearing her hijab.
Aden shared her appreciation for the brand on Instagram and said, “Thank you [American Eagle] for encouraging young America to follow their passions, express their individuality, and pursue their unique paths.”
American Eagle’s take on using more relatable models is both refreshing and inspiring.
