This quote sprang to mind:

Ironically, on certain bodies (often, white, thin, and normative  gender-presenting) “non-fashion” can be transformed into “fashion”. By  the latter half of the 2000s, burqas and other kinds of veils were seen  on fashion runways and magazines, worn by young white models like the  Australian Gemma Ward. But instead of operating as a material sign of  unmodern, non-Western, Oriental otherness, the young, white Australian  model’s body legitimated the burqa as a cosmopolitan commodity belonging  to and circulating within multicultural global capitalism.
