Vogue Arabia Magazine - September 2020

In this issue

For the first time in Vogue’s 128-year history, all 26 editions have consolidated under the theme of Hope to convey optimism and solidarity as the world faces unprecedented change. The September issue focuses on the regional heroes who inspire us, putting the spotlight on two generations that are helping to reshape a safer and brighter future for women in Arabia. Mila Abouchalbak is one of thousands of Lebanese children affected by the devastating explosions in Beirut, while acclaimed Tunisian-Egyptian actor and activist Hend Sabri champions the rights of women in the Middle East. The September issue is dedicated to individuals who inspire hope. Interviewees include For Sama director Waad Al-Kateab; Palestinian-Syrian refugee dancer and choreographer Ahmad Joudeh; designer Giorgio Armani; American-Palestinian US Member of Congress Rashida Tlaib; and model Halima Aden in conversation with Egyptian Olympic swimmer Farida Osman. The issue also features seasonal beauty trends and fashion shoots with a strong focus on regional designers. Vogue Arabia also travels to Beirut to photograph and support Lebanese designers in their destroyed workspaces, which are being rebuilt following the Beirut explosions. All this and more in the bumper September 2020 issue.
