Models Meriam Turki and Shahed Elnakhlawy don’t just represent where they come from, they expand it. One builds from personal transformation, the other from cultural dialogue, both reshaping how Arab identity exists within global fashion.
There is intention in how they show up, not only as faces, but as voices shaping the narrative behind the image. In an industry that often defines before it understands, they hold space for something more layered, more honest, more their own.
“Today, I only work with brands that book me for who I really am,” says Elnakhlawy. “I don’t try to fit into a definition. I choose what feels true,” adds Turki
