Imaan Hammam is a 21-year-old Dutch model of Egyptian and Moroccan descent. Discovered in 2010, she has since appeared in Vogue, Numèro and i-D. She affirms “I’m half Moroccan, half Egyptian, and I was born in Amsterdam. I’m Muslim, and I’m superproud of my heritage and of my roots. I want to be a role model for young girls who are struggling with racism or struggling with their looks or with their skin color. I had Naomi Campbell, who I looked up to as a black powerful woman. But there aren’t many Arabic models, and being an African-Arabic model, I’m trying to open doors for more Arabic girls.”
Nora Attal is an 18-year-old British native with Moroccan roots. Modeling professionally since June 2016, she’s already done runway shows for Dior, Valentino and Sonia Rykiel. She’s also appeared on a cover of British Vogue. A great example of beauty and brains, Attal explained to Vogue Arabia, “I’m taking a gap year, but after the year I will return to studying, starting a criminology and psychology degree in London.”
African influence is everywhere and highly sought after.
