Vogue Arabia - July/August 2024

In dieser Angelegenheit

With the Paris Olympics just days away, the July/August edition of Vogue Arabia honors two Arab sportswomen whose influence extends far beyond the playing field. Hailing from Morocco, hurdler Nawal El Moutawakel became the first Arab and Muslim woman in history to win Olympic gold back in 1984, and taekwondo champion Dunya Aboutaleb is the first Saudi woman to earn direct qualification for the Paris Olympics. While our cover stars inhabit different eras in their careers, they share a common distinction: one of pioneering new frontiers in their fields and standing for female empowerment in fields traditionally dominated by men.
In a celebration of the intricate correlation between athletics and fashion across centuries, the latest issue also delves into bodies, and how they influence design and style, both in the realms of sports, and day-to-day life. In a refreshing fashion story, women of all shapes and sizes come together in an unapologetic step for self-acceptance. From Egyptian model Logina Salah, who has embraced her vitiligo, and Police Academy graduate Shahad Budebs, who went on a journey to strengthen her body without worrying about physical changes, to motivational speaker and internet sensation Zainab Al-Eqabi, who has to learn to walk with a prosthetic limb, eventually finding solace in sports… these women are all breaking free of what they’ve been told perfection looks like and championing “every body” as being desirable instead. As Salah says: “Break the mold, be yourself, and the world will adjust.”
In the world of fashion, of course, no theme is off the table when it comes to inspiring new trends. In our pages, get ready to discover cutting-edge athleisure essentials steeped in the spirit of victory and powered by performance. Beauty looks aren’t far behind, with the colors of the Olympics reigning supreme. It’s time to go for gold!
