I’m deeply saddened to share the passing of Giorgio Armani, a remarkable mentor and visionary whose trust in me transformed my path forever. Over the past five years, I had the extraordinary privilege of working alongside him—modeling in fifteen runway shows for his iconic brand, capturing unforgettable shoots, and feeling his unwavering belief in my talent.
Giorgio wasn’t just a designer. He was a creator who reshaped modern elegance, a tireless force who remained active until his final days, and a true gentleman who led with kindness, vision, and dedication.
Grazie Mr. Armani, for every moment you believed in me - on the runway, through the lens, and beyond. Your legacy lives on in your timeless elegance and in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have walked alongside you. Rest well 🕊️
Opening @louisvuitton FW23. Moments like these will forever be etched in my memory. It seems surreal to say the least, to think that 3 years ago today I was waking up at 5 in the morning to go to the factory and make paper bags, while today I find myself opening the show of one of my favorite brands, with @rosalia.vt performance and direction by Michel & Olivier Gondry.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible @ibkamara@jiskavros@kidsuper@linakutsovskaya@samuel_ellis@ammydrammeh and the whole LV team.
Alhamdulillah
