Rocio Ramos Makes Bold Beauty of Sokhna Niane for Vogue Arabia September 2023
/
Photographer Rocio Ramos [IG] is on her A-game with this fashion story ‘Structured Chaos’. Senegal to Belgium model Sokhna Niane makes a wow impression in a fashion story brimming with precious touches — like the red scarf breezing over her face below.
‘Structured Chaos’ is styled by Abraham Gutiérrez for Vogue Arabia September 2023.
Rocio Ramos and I have communicated about our mutual devotion to telling women’s stories. If you are on her wave length consciously or unconsciously, her message is clear, and I nailed it in words.
Today she steps it up in a more visually-commanding, testosterone-infused, techniques-driven narrative — also with a strong message. There are days that I weep with Black women photographed by creatives who are clueless in their approach.
I understand that Vogue Arabia is a higher budget magazine, but Rocio Ramos shows us how it’s done. This entire team is firing on eight cylinders. Why am I wondering what 12-cylinders will look like! Just gorgeous, Rocio! And powerful. ~ Anne
