Vogue France slammed for sharing Julia Fox’s headscarf post

FRANCE: After Vogue France shared shared an Instagram photo of actor/model Julia Fox with caption “Yes to the headscarf,” the fashion magazine has been facing massive for not appreciating Muslim women in hijab the same way. Netizens have been calling out Vogue France’s double standards for a biased statement.

On Friday, Julia Fox’s picture in which she was wearing a headscarf, was shared by Vogue France with the caption “Yes to the headscarf”. While some people appreciated Vogue France’s stance towards appreciating a model in headscarf, many were criticising the hypocrisy behind banning hijab but praising models who wear headscarf for style.

The Muslim women all over the world have been backlashing the double standards of Vogue Magazine. According to them, such an incident was intensive to the plight of Muslim women in a pro-islamophobic country.

In 2004, the French government banned Islamic headscarves in state schools. In 2010, it banned niqab, covering of face in public places such as parks, streets, restaurants and in administrative buildings. In April 2021, the french senate banned hijab for Muslim women under the age of 18. Not only this bus the French government decided earlier this month to restrict the wearing of “religious insignia” in sporting tournaments, specifically targeting hijab.

However, the netizens came in waves in Vogue France’s Instagram comment section to point out their pretence.

“Yes to the headscarf when it is not a Muslim woman wearing it?,” one user commented.

“In France, wearing a hijab is illegal, but a headscarf is chic,” another one said.

Rawdah Muhammad, a hijab wearing fashion editor at Vogue Scandinavia also expressed her opinion “Oh the irony of it all.”

Many have been mocking the irony of the situation saying that a country which claims to be a modern state, promoting rights like freedom of speech, is scared of burka cladded and hijabi women. Practicing one’s religion does not harm the beliefs or values of others.
