The new wave of Arab supermodels

Arab supermodels are making a name for themselves in the fashion industry, and are changing the way Arab women are perceived by the rest of the world.

Quote:

Hind Sahli is from Morocco, has been modelling for a couple of years and has worked with names such as Marc Jacobs, Kenzo and Vera Wang.

She puts her success down to a couple of things. "In fashion, they like to have new. Anything new is good."

Hind Sahli joined her first modelling agency in 2008.

Quote:

But the diversity and culture of the Arab world is also appealing to those in the fashion industry.

"Designers and photographers - they like that we're not all the same and also we have such a big culture, it's so different from others - we can get inspired from so many things."

Our doors are open to you Hind....

If they have a good personality that goes along with good looks, why should anyone care where they come from?

But we do sadly.

Yes, it is unfortunately.

As a college teacher, I have to confess that among my students, secular arab women are often both the prettiest and the smartest

Not a scientific observation, but something I've definitely seen more than once.

I did a few 2 and 3 month TDYs(temporary duty) to Incirlik in turkey and also a few trips to Istanbul and I can concur with CCCIP. There are some very pretty Arab/Muslim women out there.And they don't have to be all that secular either I made it with a Turkish woman that wore a hajab in public not the ultra fundamentalist type of course.

Of course there are beautiful women of every creed if you ask me.I think to some extent what is most common where you are from makes a pretty girl have an obvious level of rarity so when you see a woman from a minority not very common where you usually are it seems like they all look pretty if you by chance see handful of fine examples.In Turkey the dog faced girls where there too.

The woman above looks a tad skinny for my taste.

This woman is more my speed except for the eybrows

Let's not throw "Arab" and "Muslim" into one pot, Stealhead.

"Arab" is a word on race and/or ethnicity.

"Muslim" is a word about ideology.

CaptainMattJ. · 12-23-12, 03:32 AM

This is news? I've known this for years

I'm glad someone finally agrees with me. I have definitely seen a fair share of pretty fine arab woman.

Nazism, Marxism, Dominionism and Islamism is an ideoly.
Muslim is an adherent of Islam which in turn is an faith.
So you're throwing 2 different things in the same pot Sky.

OT. regardless where they're from, beautiful women can be found on all corners of this world

but I must admit I like mine to be quite exotic with dark hair and dark eyes in which I could melt

Faiths (meaning the word as "Glaubenssysteme", not as "Vertrauen") are ideologies, Hunter. Any religious belief system is an ideology.
