Vogue Arabia - March 2023

En este número

Supermodel Cindy Crawford lights up the cover of Vogue Arabia with her megawatt smile and infectious energy that has kept her in the spotlight for her 40-year career. Bahraini royal and artist Shaikh Rashid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa opened his art-filled space to Vogue Arabia, collaborating on an editorial around this season’s flower trend, in perfect dialogue with his colorful series of blooms. The edition, filled with pioneering personalities, continues with an exclusive conversation with France’s new minister of culture, Rima Abdul Malak. The Beirut-born minister speaks openly on topics like identity, colonialism, gender equality, and restitution of ancient artifacts. She also gives insight into her first ten years in Lebanon and starting life anew in Lyon. As Syria and Turkey experience the deadliest devastation of the century, three sisters who survived the earthquake bring a message of hope to readers. Syrian actor Bassel Khaiat, star of the hit TV series Al Thaman, brings an air of escapism to the anniversary edition. The world of entertainment is explored further in a feature that debates the regional validity of Western reality TV series. Shows like Dubai Bling, The Real Housewives of Dubai, Star Academy, and Arab Idol are accused by some of not accurately representing Arab women and culture.
