Last year, American Eagle Outfitters launched the #WeAllCan campaign<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Similar to the previous year, this campaign\u00a0is all about encouraging millennials to break stereotypes. It features a cast of young models\u00a0from varied industries and backgrounds including a bull rider, vlogger, basketball player, body positivity activist, and more.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n
