Vogue Arabia Magazine - October 2020

In this issue

In an exclusive and bold collaboration, the October issue of Vogue Arabia celebrates creativity with iconic artist Jean-Paul Goude and his forever-muse, Algerian-French filmmaker Farida Khelfa, reunited in the studio for the first time in 30 years. The October issue is bursting with entrepreneurs and creatives sharing their talents with the world, from the ground-breaking black, female Muslim rappers taking control of the mic and telling their own stories in their own ways, to the regional jewelry designers making pieces that embrace their heritage in fresh, futuristic forms. And a new young artistic collective, the Muslim Sisterhood, showcases the season’s best new trends while celebrating diversity and freedom of expression. We also meet the young Arab female photographers taking a fresh look at the region, and the Beirut creatives working to restore their lives after the devasting explosions. Our fashion pages showcase the looks and trends that will stand the test of time, as well as magical high jewelry pieces. As usual, the issue features interviews and shoots with an array of high-powered women, including Syrian actor Kinda Alloush, Bahraini minister HE Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al-Khalifa, and Tunisian actor Dorra Zarrouk, introducing her collaboration with Egyptian designer Mohanad Kojak. In an exclusive interview, Lady Gaga shares how she always knew her unique creativity would be her path to freedom and success.
