Muslim model Halima Aden is stepping back from fashion and quitting runway shows entirely after feeling pressured to compromise her religious beliefs, she announced Wednesday.

穆斯林名模哈莉瑪．艾登週三宣布，在自認被迫於個人宗教信仰上做出妥協後，她將徹底退出伸展台走秀。

Aden, the first model to wear a hijab and burkini in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, posted a series of Instagram Stories describing the difficulties she has faced in the "toxic mess called fashion."

艾登是首位戴頭巾與穿女穆斯林泳裝登上《運動畫刊》泳裝專輯的名模，她在一系列的Instagram限時動態貼文中，描述她在「被稱為時尚的有毒混亂」中所面臨的困境。

In the posts, she recounted skipping prayers, wearing clothes she wasn’t comfortable in and styling her hijab in ways she felt betrayed her values.

她在這些貼文中細數自己曾略過禱告、穿上她覺得不自在的衣服，以及頭巾造型讓她覺得背叛個人價值。

Aden also pledged to never take part in runway shows or travel for fashion months again, adding that "that’s where all the bad energy came from."

艾登還誓言再也不參與伸展台走秀或為時尚月出訪，並補充說，「那是一切有害能量的源頭」。
