Make no mistake Vogue Arabia is one of the more superior editions of Vogue available today. After all, Manuel Arnaut, who has served as editor-in-chief since 2017, has become a total asset to the magazine. Covers throughout 2024 starring the likes of Rania Benchegra, Winnie Harlow, and Claudia Schiffer have commanded our attention here at theFashionSpot to no end. To commemorate the sixth annual Fashion Trust Arabia (an event celebrating talent across the MENA region), Arnaut enlists Imaan Hammam for a special digital cover of Vogue Arabia for November 2024. The Moroccan-Egyptian model poses for Moroccan photographer Mous Lamrabat for the occasion, showcasing a sculptural white ensemble from Doha-based designer Yasmin Mansour (winner of the 2024 Evening Wear category) in the cover photograph.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Congratulations to Vogue Arabia for their Guinness World Record of being the first publication to make Imaan look like that,” scolded ReneSanchez at once.

“Imaan Hammam deserves print covers only,” forum member Cute declared.

“I had never seen a bad photograph of her until now,” chimed in A.D.C.

Fauxfashion also questioned: “How could they have managed to make Imaan look bad? #NoWords!”

“Beyond amateurish,” exclaimed Vitamine W.

“Seen better, and also seen far worse. In all honesty, I don’t mind the sight of this. The lighting is somewhat questionable but I like the background and the white Yasmin Mansour look. Not to mention how I am ALL for seeing Imaan Hammam,” approved vogue28.

The Donna Karan New York label made a triumphant comeback last season, and unveiled a dazzling relaunch campaign lensed by Annie Leibovitz starring a handful of supermodels (including Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford). For the Fall 2024 season, it’s a repeat performance as a plethora of modeling’s finest assemble for the label now owned and operated by G-III Apparel Group Ltd. Those names include Liu Wen, Imaan Hammam, Eva Herzigova, Amber Valletta, Karen Elson, Alek Wek, Christy Turlington and Edie Campbell. The ladies come together via the lens of Mikael Jansson, with the Swedish fashion photographer replacing Leibovitz this season. The women who each share a past history with the Donna Karan brand pose throughout the latest “In Women We Trust” campaign series, captured within Jansson’s dark and moody photographic studio.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s very Donna Karan New York,” admired matheus_s.

“I love that it captures the essence of Donna Karan. These will look iconic on a giant Times Square billboard especially the group shot,” said Urban Stylin.

Sharing the same enthusiasm was vogue28. “It’s all just so tasteful, elegant, classic and quintessential Donna Karan. What a terrific lineup of women, love the inclusion of Eva Herzigova. Mikael Jansson has photographed everyone to perfection, love the colors, the studio backdrops and the styling,” he enthused.

Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “What the f#ck is Edie Campbell doing in the group shot?” asked forum member DK92.

“Edie looked so out of place,” chimed in pradn.

Last night, stars from the world of fashion, film, music and entertainment were out in full force to celebrate the opening of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit.

Naturally, the most buzz-worthy spectacle on the fashion calendar generated a vast amount of show-stopping fashion moments for us to sit back and fawn over. The “The Garden of Time” dress code, inspired by a short story from 1962 of the same title by J.G. Ballard could have perhaps been interpreted in a variety of different ways. As expected, however, a whole multitude of archival magic was unearthed and florals for spring actually proved to be somewhat… groundbreaking.

Kim Kardashian requested Maison Margiela’s John Galliano create a haute couture look composed of a pale grey cashmere cardigan, a corset rewoven from antique silver brocade and a skirt in tooled silver metal evoking lace and florals. A staggering 98,000 crystals later and Anok Yai hit the famed steps of the 2024 Met Gala in a custom Swarovski creation while South African singer required a little help up the stairs, essentially donning a Balmain sand sculpture. Zendaya opted for not one but two breathtaking looks. This year’s Met Gala co-host first descended upon the event showcasing a striking ocean-blue gown by John Galliano for Maison Margiela that included a dramatic matching headpiece. The undisputed style icon later ventured up the steps again in a black archival look from Givenchy’s Spring 1996 haute couture collection (designed by the late Alexander McQueen). Inspired by a Richard Avedon photograph, Nicole Kidman asked Balenciaga’s Denma to breath new life into an original monochromatic Cristóbal Balenciaga creation from 1951 while Demi Moore hit all the right notes in a Harris Reed confection.

Needless to say, the 2024 Met Gala did not disappoint. Right here on theFashionSpot, we’ve rounded up 60+ of the most must-see looks. Scroll further for the most show-stopping fashion moments of the night:

It has now been one whole year since Giovanna Battaglia made the brilliant upon brilliant decision to enlist Steven Meisel as Swarovski’s campaign photographer. Meisel’s bedazzling imagery for the Austrian jewelry company has left us completely enchanted, season after season, campaign after campaign. Thankfully, Battaglia welcomes back the master American lensman for his fourth consecutive Swarovski campaign, with the unveiling of the flawless Spring 2024 campaign installment. Inspired by the archetype of Venus, models Irina Shayk, Karlie Kloss, Fei Fei Sun, Imaan Hammam and Abby Champion morph into mythical creatures from the sea, each dripping in layers of layers of Hyperbola jewelry and multi-faceted Millenia crystals in the undeniably stunning and utterly spectacular portrait images.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Stunning campaign!” heralded justaguy.

“Stunning campaign!” echoed MModa. “Beautiful imagery. Shayk is a great addition and Kloss looks fierce and in charge!”

“Irina and Karlie DELIVERED,” applauded VogueDisciple93.

Ihhbl was in complete agreement, commenting: “Wow, Irina and Karlie look GORGEOUS! Powerful eye contact, which is what a miss nowadays and these ladies delivered! Fei Fei also looks lovely!”

Also in love with the end result was vogue28: “Another FLAWLESS Swarovski campaign from Steven Meisel. The styling, again, is genius. Every single piece of Swarovski looks desirable and gorgeous here. I love the whole mermaid vibe, and how polished and poised the girls are.”

“Gorgeous! I love them all,” Salvatore enthused.

Imaan takes to various different locations within the French capital of Paris throughout the series of campaign images, in addition to being captured in the studio.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Exceptional work from the icon, Imaan Hammam. A modern-day supermodel. Tuly, a blessing to fashion. Perfect casting. One must be a true natural beauty to pull off this fresh-face look,” XxHigh_FashionxX championed.

“I love it. Especially the shot in front of the pharmacy,” pointed out penny609.

“Simple yet so effective. Love!” heralded Faith Akiyama.

Also very much a fan was vogue28: “Imaan Hammam is just the absolute BOMB! One of the best in the business. Her mere presence and ability to pose is second to none. In all honesty, there’s not one single campaign image I dislike here!”

“Imaan Hammam is killing it!” Urban Stylin raved.

“This Jean-Paul Goude vibe is so refreshing in 2024,” approved yslforever.

“Wow, there’s not a single bad cover! Loving them all. Malgosia’s is my favorite, though. Stellar casting,” applauded forum member thiago.

Fiercification commented: “Robin Galiegue is the don! Finally a new photographer who understands fashion. All the covers are wonderful but I’d have to go with Malgosia, Adwoa or Karen I reckon.”

“Amazing covers. The styling is super sharp and elegant,” admired Alquimista.

“Completely blown away, just like everyone else, over how fantastic each and every cover is! So much beauty, so much splendor and so much fabulosity. Almost an impossible task to pick just one favorite and I wouldn’t even know where to start,” enthused vogue28.

Donna Karan New York is back, with a vengeance. The iconic American brand has since undergone a relaunch, having been acquired by G-III Apparel Group Ltd back 2016 from LVMH. A whole three decades have passed, since Donna Karan first unveiled the iconic “In Women We Trust”advertising campaign lensed by the late Peter Lindbergh and the slogan remains the brand’s mantra with the relaunch, for the Spring 2024 season. To commemorate the occasion, famed photographer Annie Leibovitz was called upon to lens a celebratory campaign starring eight supermodels who represent the label’s past, present and future. The faces of the campaign include legends Liya Kebede, Linda Evangelista, Carolyn Murphy, Cindy Crawford, Shalom Harlow, Amber Valletta, Karlie Kloss and Imaan Hammam, who each don an array of signature pieces from the newly-launched collection.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Reminds me of those supermodel shoots from Vanity Fair some years back,” admired Urban Stylin the second the campaign struck.

“I think this is a fantastic way for Donna Karan to make a return to fashion. Annie did a great job with the campaign, far better than she usually delivers these days. This is the supermodel nostalgia Vogue cover we should’ve gotten,” aracic heralded.

Also equally as impressed was thiago, commenting: “Loving the whole campaign! Fabulous casting.”

“What a pleasant surprise! Massively here for a Donna Karan relaunch and getting Annie Leibovitz and a cast of eight iconic models to kick-start such a moment is undoubtedly the way to do it. It’s just an added bonus that Leibovitz’s photography is so on-point here, and the ladies look phenomenal.” raved vogue28.

“They nailed the Donna Karan look. The absence of this brand was never really filled,” GivenchyHomme chimed in.

Ever since signing on the dotted line with Fendi in 2020, Kim Jones has entrusted both Nick Knight and Craig McDean to capture his vision as the Italian fashion house’s womenswear creative director. McDean has been on speed dial since Fall 2021, with fashion spots for Spring 2022, Fall 2022, Spring 2023 and Fall 2023 subsequently following. Change is in the air, however, for Spring 2024 with Jones calling upon Steven Meisel to lens his latest Fendi campaign installment. Models Liu Wen, Imaan Hammam, Anok Yai, Julia Nobis and Angelina Kendall come together this season, captured within a studio setting to showcase Jones’ collection of classic neutrals. Along with the Spring 2024 collection inspiration, the series of minimalist and chic campaign images, are an ode to the women of the Italian city of Rome.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The year has barely started and we already have the worst campaign of the season… I wonder if it can get worse!” cried out DK92 when the campaign came to light.

“Why do Fendi campaigns feel like such a chore? There’s no passion behind any of them,” remarked a disapproving GivenchyHomme.

Vogue28 voiced: “Static, amateur and lackluster beyond belief. The art direction is what ultimately kills Meisel’s photography! Those portraits of the girls would’ve been far superior and less offensive without that atrocious sky backdrop.”

“I am still baffled this campaign is credited to Meisel. I never would’ve thought this was his work. It’s as if Meisel hates Kim Jones, he’s produced some of his worst work to date for that man,” aracic chimed in.

“What an abomination,” exclaimed a far from impressed tourbillions.

Back in Fall 2022, Ian Griffiths ditched Steven Meisel as Max Mara’s campaign photographer, in favor of Ethan James Green. Until recently, Meisel had captured the Italian high-end fashion label’s advertising campaign for years and the changing of the guard remains in full effect for the Fall 2023 season, as EJG is welcomed back once again. Now shooting his third consecutive campaign for Max Mara, the American model-turned-photographer remains inside his photographic studio, and shoots models Imaan Hammam and Karolina Spakowksi. The campaign is complete with Tonne Goodman styling out the girls in Griffiths’ ultra-chic and luxurious collection boasting rich cashmere, wool and leather.

Something, however, appeared a little off through the eyes of our forum members. “Karolina looks like an AI creation,” shrieked mikel.
“They Photoshopped Karolina’s face to look like Rebecca Romjin’s. I guess Ethan has also taken on the excess on Meisel’s current post-production with gusto,” noted Cocteau Stone.
“The amount of Photoshop used on this image is ridiculous, did he take lessons from Luigi & Iango?” asked FashionPower.
“Looks like an American Vogue editorial, not a campaign. The smiling made it commercial. And not in a good way,” jeremydante voiced.
Yet not everyone was so unforgiving. “The suspicious Photoshop activity aside, I’m liking what I see thus far! It’s Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impression, feels quintessential Max Mara and the inclusion of Imaan Hammam is just the icing on the cake,” commented vogue28.
