Top models Ugbad and Mona Tougaard cover the August 2022 issue of Vogue France, styled by Carlos Nazario in images by Luis Alberto Rodriguez [IG]. The following words come from Rodriguez:
“On a sunny afternoon in Paris with Sade's 'Pearls' as our soundtrack, I came together with these gorgeous people to create a moment of solidarity and representation. It's the first time a hijab has graced the cover of these particular pages and I'm proud to have this be my very first Vogue cover. Hopefully, together we move the needle towards a future where inclusion is not a revolutionary act.”
