Muslim Model Halima Aden Graces Teen Vogue ‘I Am America’ July 2018 Cover

July 3, 2018. Leave a Comment

Somali-American model Halima Aden, graces Teen Vogue‘s July 2018 issue, as shot by Scandebergs (Stefano Colombini and Alberto Albanese).  A practicing Muslim, Aden is shot with a cover tagline that reads “I am America,” a clear rebuke to the anti-Muslim and racist policies that have been a signature of the Donald Trump administration.

In the shoot, Aden wears designs by Chanel, Calvin Klein, Dior and Nike. Aden was styled by Marcela Jacobina with make up by Courtney Perkins.

Teen Vogue accompanied Aden in June when she returned for the first time to visit the Kenyan refuge camp she lived in before she migrated to the United States at the age of six. She was making the trip as part of a UNICEF effort. While on the set shooting the July cover, she discovered she had been selected as an official UNICEF ambassador.

Addressing president Trump’s new zero tolerance border policy that allows agents to separate migrant parents from their children no matter what their age, Aden expressed dismay, “I was a child refugee and I can’t even imagine the trauma that would come from being ripped from my mother. It leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Child refugees are a nonpartisan issue,” she says.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.
