A catchy ad that plays well with the millennials clothing retailer H&M is trying to connect with is generating buzz on social media.
ABC7 reports that 23-year-old Mariah Idrissi is the first model used by H&M to wear a hijab.
She appears for just a few seconds in the fast moving ad, but is drawing tons of attention.
