With 450+ pages and five iconic covers featuring <\/em>Esaad Younes<\/em>, <\/em>Haya Abdulsalam,\u00a0<\/em>and Arab models on the rise, Vogue Arabia\u2019s September 2023 celebrates high fashion and fairy tale<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vogue<\/em>\u00a0Arabia\u2019s coveted September issue pays homage to fashion and fairy tale, in an ode to the more fun and optimistic side of the FW23\/24 season. With five covers photographed in three different cities \u2013 Paris, Cairo, and Dubai \u2013 this is one of\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0Arabia\u2019s most daring productions. Inspired by nostalgic fairy tales,\u00a0the covers\u00a0feature a wealth of talented women from the region, styled as never seen before.\u00a0In Paris\u2019s Euro Disney, three new faces from the runway, Myriem Boukadida, Aouatif Saadi, and Farnoush Hamidian, are dressed in spectacular couture, illustrating the rising influence of Middle Eastern models, while also signaling the impact of Arabia in the global fashion scene. Although for the last 60 years models across the Middle East have been muses to maestros such as Azzedine Ala\u00efa and\u00a0Jean Paul Gaultier, the region\u2019s modeling industry is just beginning to blossom. \u201cAt\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0Arabia, we are proud of being enablers of the careers of future Arab supermodels, while also creating a healthy ecosystem for stylists, photographers, designers, and other industry professionals,\u201d says editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut. \u201cWitnessing the success of this September\u00a0cover stars, but also of other names such as the Hadid sisters, Nora Attal, Imaan Hammam,\u00a0Malika El Maslouhi\u00a0(all also previously featured in our covers), is extremely fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vogue<\/em>\u00a0Arabia\u2019s voyage continues to the Land of the Pharaohs, where we also photographed for our cover Arabia\u2019s queen of comedy, Esaad Younes. Looking regal while wearing a bejeweled headpiece, the beloved icon talks \u201caccidental\u201d careers, patriotism, and positive self-image at any age. \u201cWhy do I always say that I\u2019m the most beautiful \u2018girl\u2019 in Egypt? To help women break free of the tiny box that they\u2019re placed in as soon as they turn 40,\u201d she confides.<\/p>\n

From Kuwait, actress and filmmaker Haya Abdulsalam\u00a0is the final personality gracing our September set of 5 covers. Star of Netflix\u2019s\u00a0record-breaking thriller\u00a0The Devil\u2019s Advocate<\/em>, Abdulsalam opens up on \u201cthis most important moment\u201d\u00a0of her career,\u00a0stating\u00a0with pride, \u201cI am the righteous daughter of Kuwait who respects customs and traditions, and therefore I enjoy the love and respect of its people. I represent the ambitious Gulf girl and the strong woman of the Arab world who does not know the impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\r\n
