Abercrombie & Fitch interviewee takes firm to court claiming headscarf discrimination

Abercrombie & Fitch have been criticised in the US Supreme Court for not hiring a woman because she wore a black headscarf to interview.

The landmark religious discrimination case has been brought against the 'preppy' clothing firm by Oklahoma shop worker Samantha Elauf.

However, lawyers for the firm have argued it didn't need to take Elauf's religion into account when applying a rule against headwear because managers had only guessed that she was Muslim.
