Vogue Arabia Magazine - June 2021

In this issue

The June 2021 issue of Vogue Arabia celebrates the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with two cover stories where fashion and art meet, giving rise to a symbiosis of creative synergies. The issue also features Saudi’s most exciting young fashion talents, along with legends of the Kingdom’s creative industries. Saudi Arabia’s energetic creative scene is represented throughout the June issue. A fresh cohort of designers is affirming the strength of Saudi Arabia to grow into a leading power of great design. Moreover, Vogue Arabia meets dancer Samira Alkhamis, tenor and composer Marwan Fagi, countertenor Mohammed Khayran Al-Zahrani, and soprano Sawsan Al Bahiti. These four Saudi artists are raising the bar of high art in the Kingdom. Also in June, the spotlight is turned on women from across the Kingdom who are excelling in their fields as artists, writers, humanitarians, pilots, and lawyers. These trailblazers are creating a new narrative of what contemporary Arab women represent. An interview with social activist and the Kingdom’s first UN Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador, Muna AbuSulayman, brings forth her moving message on female empowerment, which will also be highlighted in a new book. The Saudi issue further features Jeddah-born Amy Roko, who has carved out a creative space without ever revealing her face. Also exclusively in this issue, Vogue Arabia announces the launch of and partnership with Saudi 100 Brands, an initiative by the Fashion Commission of the Kingdom’s Ministry of Culture. The new initiative, which invites 100 Saudi fashion designers to take part in a rigorous mentorship program, is led by leading industry experts. At its helm is Her Highness Princess Noura bint Faisal, Sector Development Director of the Fashion Commission.
