“I wear my pride wherever I go,” Hadid wrote on Instagram, posting photos of the gown as she strode down the street in Copenhagen.
Hadid on Wednesday took to Instagram to explain the symbolism behind the keffiyeh print and spotlight designers who have “highlighted the Palestinian cause over the years.”
Hadid recently sat down for an interview with The New Arab where she talked about her activism. “I’ve been talking about Palestine for a long time, and I’ve been saying that I’m a Palestinian for a long time, which, in a lot of ways, for a lot of people, was a revolutionary act,” she said.
