Vogue Arabia April 2019 : Halima Aden, Amina Adan & Ikram Abdi Omar by Txema Yeste

Wow, striking! Particularly like the contrast. A minor quibble would be to just zoom it out a tad more to see the fashion and make it look like the white space is, in fact, three separate bodies. But it's a great shot nevertheless. Wish Ugbad also got this cover.
 
Wow I love this!! Where is Ugbad though??? Or Kadijah?
Halima looks AMAZING!
Stunning cover.
 
Does misogynistic indoctrination since childhood really count as My Choice? Because that's all "female modesty" is, anywhere.

Beautiful cover anyway, has a slightly classic/vintage vibe to it but it also feels very current.
 
Cover number 2:

It's just a gorgeous cover shot, the art direction is a bit too UK Vogue, but they all look so beautiful, and content, i like it.
 
Maybe the hijab cover is for the Arabic part, and we can choose one of the three for the English part?

For the March issue they had close to 10/11 edits in the magazine, yet about 60% of it was reprints. That really cheapens the magazine. It's also odd considering Vogue is trying to move away from syndicated content.
 
That background is lifeless... and the font looks ugly IMO
 
God, Halima is so stunning! That solo portrait of hers reminds me a lot of Kate's picture for Love by Mert & Marcus but she might look ever better here! Can't look away
 
First cover looks mesmerazing,
reminiscent of VI 2009 cover by Meisel (Selezneva/ Sasonkina and Anna J,),
same pose and piercing gaze,2 models on 3/4 profile and on straight face, neutral colors / colour scheme adjustment and rather similar styling.
A "models of color" version of a striking cover which looks almost as amazing (minus use of light and some visual effects more sophisticated on VI mainly)
The writing on the right reminds me of those Vogue Paris cover around 2003/ 1997 era that I love, I really don't mind, it somehow even adds value to the picture.

*It however annoys me how the other covers are a shamelessly obvious copy of Meisel's work, one cover / same concept is ok to me as far as it's not a litteral ccpy , but the whole covers are a too much a copy- paste of some Meisel's portraits.
