Born in Denmark to a Somali-Ethiopian mother and a half-Turkish, half-Danish father, Mona Tougaard made her debut on the Prada runway in 2019.

It became an “unbelievable and crazy” season, walking runways leaving Prada in Milan to walk Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, Valentino and then closing Karl Lagerfeld’s final collection for Chanel.

Tougaard covered Vogue France in August 2022, appearing with Ugbad in a cover story shot by Luis Alberto Rodriguez, her photographer in this post, and again in May 2023. She covered Vogue Italia in August 2021. Mona’s British Vogue covers include the April 2021 and July/August 2024 issues.

Searching for the Big Four Vogue covers, Tougaard has American Vogue in her sights. Although she has multiple US Vogue editorials in her portfolio, she needs an American cover to complete her quartet.
