Dazed MENA

Apr 2025

Dazed MENA launches its inaugural Spring 2025 issue with a series of covers that bridge editorial portraiture and cultural narrative. The project features a diverse cast, including Nora Attal, Alek Wek, and Paloma Elsesser, captured by photographers Pegah Farahmand, Ilyes Griyeb, and Mohamed Bourouissa. Using techniques that range from monochrome studio portraiture to analogue-inspired outdoor scenes, the covers emphasize clean lines and earthy textures. Stylists including Ellie Grace Cumming, Omaima Salem, Rita Zebdi, Tereza Ortiz, and Thistle Brown curate the subjects' apparel, while contributions from hair stylists Gilles Degivry, Stephanie Farouze, Yann Turchi, and Yumiko Hikage, alongside makeup artists Maelys Jallali, Nisha Gulati, and Tayler Treadwell, define the visual aesthetic. Casting director Mischa Notcutt leads the selection for this launch under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Ahmad Ali Swaid.
