Somali-American model Ugbad Abdi covers the December 2024 issue of Vogue Netherlands. In a rare and unique, large photoshoot, Ugbad introduces us to her siblings — not for the first time — but rare nevertheless.
They include her sister Hani Abdi — with whom she modeled in Vogue Arabia’s 2022 Ramadan issue. Ugbad’s other siblings include Mushin Abdi, Naimo Abdi and Suwayda Abdi. Sonny Groo [IG] styled the 30-page presentation with images by fellow Brooklynite creator and photographer Wikkie Hermkens [IG].
American Vogue’s [IG] December 2024 issue is guest-edited by Marc Jacobs [IG], who turned to his close friend and former protegé Kaia Gerber [IG] as his Marc Jacobs cover girl. Photographer Steven Meisel [IG] captures Gerber, who has spread her career-girl self with unassuming but very wide wings into what Iowa calls a West Coast/East Coat elitist, snob-fest for pseudo intellectuals. For the record, Kaia Gerber is not that person.
A simple example of Gerber’s search of life’s opportunities was her appearance in the i-D Spring 2020 Icons Issue, interviewed by ‘Slave Play’ playwright and now good friend Jeremy O. Harris.
In a six-degrees-of-separation moment, Gerber notes in her Library Science book club interview below of Will Arbery that he is a friend of Jeremy O. Harris, whose ‘Slave Play’ production took London’s West End theatre culture by the throat in the second half of 2024.
Dana Spiotta’s interview ends on a high note, an evening at legendary The Chelsea hotel, with a Library Science [Kaia’s book club] event. One of Gerber’s favorite books is ‘Just Kids’, Patti Smith’s memoir of New York in the early ’70s.
This night the supermodel, actor, activist, and thoughtful human being was hosting readings by authors connected to the legendary Chelsea. One was Alexandra Auder, author of the memoir ‘Don't Call Me Home’.
