DUBAI: Arab models are taking over Milan Fashion Week, turning heads at renowned fashion brands such as Gucci and Missoni. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle French Algerian model Loli Bahia walked the Gucci show wearing a charcoal grey, tailored zip-up jacket with a prominent, pointed collar and a slightly oversized fit, emphasizing a relaxed yet structured silhouette. The jacket was paired with matching wide-leg trousers and the ensemble was accessorized with a sleek, metallic choker and a pair of white loafers with black details. Mona Tougaard, who is of Danish, Turkish, Somali and Ethiopian decent, also walked the Gucci runway. She wore a sleeveless white dress with a high neckline. The dress was designed with a thigh-high slit and was paired with black knee-high leather boots that had a glossy finish and a chunky heel. For accessorizes, Tougaard wore a gold choker, and matching bracelets on each wrist. The show, presenting the Italian fashion house’s spring/summer 2025 collection, “Casual Grandeur,” featured draped or sleeveless dresses in various colors, each adorned with golden buckles, alongside see-through lace frocks. There were looks that mirrored 1960s styles with short A-line skirts, structured jackets and shorts. Long coats were worn over tank tops and long denim trousers. Some coats were adorned with sparkling fringes. The color palette included grey — just like Bahia’s look — brown, different shades of green, white, orange and red. Meanwhile, part-Saudi model Amira Al-Zuhair and British Moroccan catwalk star Nora Attal walked the Missoni show. Al-Zuhair wore a dynamic, eye-catching ensemble featuring bold, wavy stripes in black, white and yellow. The outfit included an asymmetrical top adorned with exaggerated ruffled detailing that cascaded down one side, paired with a high-waisted bikini bottom. Completing the look were matching high-heeled sandals in vibrant yellow, adding an extra pop of color. Attal also stepped onto the runway in a vibrant and eclectic ensemble featuring a mix of bold colors and patterns. She wore a one-shoulder top adorned with wavy stripes in black, white, red, yellow and blue. The top showcased a sharply angled, asymmetrical hem and was paired with high-waisted leggings that echoed the color theme through large, color-blocked panels. The look was completed with classic black pointed-toe heels.
