Arab models, celebrities, and influencers have shone during Milan Fashion Week with their cutting-edge looks on the runways and in the front rows.
With appearances in New York, London, and now Milan, Loli Bahia and Imaan Hammam have been travelling from one fashion week to the next. Up to February 27th, there will be 59 catwalk presentations throughout fashion week, including ones by Giorgio Armani, Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Moschino.
Loli Bahia wore a bright oversized yellow knit sweater with matching-colored joggers and a large fluffy bag.
The Fendi show, which opened Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday, included Bahia, a model of French Algerian descent. Bahia appeared in a translucent grey dress for Fendi, which part-Palestinian supermodel Bella Hadid opened, and paired with an elbow-length pair of gloves and a furry handbag. The model also wore a pink straight-cut dress from the Italian luxury brand's Autumn/Winter 2023–2024 collection, accessorized with a red handbag and brown boots.
Kuwaiti influencer Fatima Almomen attended the show and posted pictures on Instagram.
Bahia debuted the Etro collection on the runway by donning a knit dress in shades of grey and blue with a matching shawl across her breast. The outfit was finished off with white purse and thigh-high boots.
Hammam, who is of Dutch, Egyptian, and Moroccan ancestry, wore a look that was somewhat reminiscent of Bahia's but in a different color palette. She was dressed in a beige knit dress with knee-length fringe, a brown and beige shawl over her shoulders, a black bag, and black knee-high boots.
