After an abrupt departure from the world of fashion in 2020, Halima Aden is back on the cover of Vogue. But this time, on her own terms, and never forgetting where she comes from. It is not a coincidence that this small but unforgettable village in Africa was selected as the backdrop for Halima Aden’s first cover shoot after she unexpectedly exited the fashion industry in 2020. Now we see Aden’s story being written again, but on her own terms, and right in front of our eyes. Wearing a delicate, white Chanel lace dress (with an underbody and a classic veil, of course), she is posing next to a beautiful Moroccan door – blue, as everything else around us.

Meanwhile, the artistry of perfume is examined through the eyes and words of one of the world’s greatest architects Frank Gehry and his first collaboration with fragrance with Louis Vuitton.

The September publication of Vogue Arabia – traditionally the most anticipated and biggest of the year – celebrates a serendipitous milestone. It is the 50th issue, in a year that also celebrates 50 years of the UAE. Marking this significant moment is a cover like no other: HH Sheikha Latifa Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, and daughter of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, against the backdrop of dawn in Dubai, standing as a powerful symbol of hope, purpose, and the beating heart of the UAE’s creative ecosystem. 

The September issue also celebrates and honors the many creatives, designers, and artists impacted by instability and tragedy in the region – including Hind Hilal, Noora Khalifeh, Suzy Tamimi, and Shukri Lawrence and Omar Braika, Palestinian fashion designers creating contemporary collections that honor their roots, as well as preserving the DNA of their heritage. In another inspiring feature, Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad reflects on the Beirut Blast and the still ongoing effects on his country.

This being the September 2021 issue, the pages feature timely stories about sustainable fashion and its champions – and how to consciously consume style that lasts – as well as beauty and jewelry news, and exquisite shoots with the region’s biggest talents and rising stars.

This year also marks the opening of Expo 2020 Dubai, and we give a preview of what to expect and what not to miss.

The Vogue Arabia Body Positivity summer issue is an ode to real diversity and empowerment, questioning the traditional notions of what society once described as the perfect body. The Body Issue goes further than skin deep by shining the spotlight on three extraordinary women of determination from the region – each of whom has lost a leg. 
The July/August 2021 issue also explores the changing perceptions of femininity, with three muscle-building Arab women who talk about strength, beauty and crushing stereotypes in the Middle East.
The Body Issue is a testament to Vogue Arabia’s commitment to showing different kinds of bodies in a true tribute to diversity, celebrating the power and perfection of every single body.
