Ugbad and Mona Tougaard Cover Vogue France August by Luis Alberto Rodriguez

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]./ Hair by Benjamin Muller; makeup by Michaela Bosch

On his IG, Rodriguez describes the shoot with these words:

“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.”

More work from Luis Alberto Rodriguez, who will be added pronto to AOC’s Photographers Archives.
