Imaan Hammam by Nadine Ijewere in Sri Lanka for WSJ Magazine May 2022

WSJ Magazine goes to Sri Lanka with model Imaan Hammam in the ‘Best Dresses of the Summer’. The very top model, who is tight with Adut Akech and Palomma Elsesser, says about models of color in fashion: “I remember when I started, it was competitive,” pointing out that often only one model of color would get cast for any given job.

As for the headline about Imaan’s work in Africa — which really caught AOC’s eye — Hammam made one trip to Gambia in 2019 with a group called ‘She’s the First’. She hopes to go again in the future.

Now for the photography by Nadine Ijewere [IG] There are some spectacular shots in this fashion story. Several are gallery worthy and kudos to Nadine Ijewere.
