Rising South Sudan model Hakima Athuai is styled by Brian Conway in ‘Garden of Eden’, lensed by Petros [IG] for Mixte Magazine September 2022./ Hair by Anna Cofone; makeup by Sandra Cooke

Mixte shares this image about the issue: “Between the revocation of the right to abortion in the United States and the acceleration of climate change, 2022 could seriously discourage us and amplify our feeling of powerlessness. However, true to its predictive abilities, fashion has been driving and motivating us since the year began to remind us of our ability to change things.
