In celebration of the Morrocan model’s birthday, let’s revisit BAZAAR’s 10th anniversary cover with Hind Sahli, Shanina Shaik and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem…

Three Middle Eastern trail-blazing models took to the streets of Marrakech for our 2017 March Issue. The ladies spoke female empowerment in the Arab world, what modelling meant to them, and where they see Arab models in the fashion industry going. It’s safe to say, now in 2019, the dreams Shaik, Sahli and Abdesslem spoke, are coming true. 

Harper’s BAZAAR Arabia’s 10th anniversary cover stars Shanina Shaik, Hind Sahli and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem offer their take on being independent Arab women, “We are united.” Shot in Morocco by the legendary Ellen Von Unwerth, see the full 24-page portfolio of our anniversary cover shoot here.
