Five sisters, five strong voices—and a shared stance. For the July/August 2026 issue of *Vogue Germany*, Düzen, Tezcan, Tuğba, Tülin, and Tuna Tekkal stepped in front of Sarah Willmeroth’s camera. Makeup artist Nina Park was responsible for the beauty looks.
Titled "Sisters Act," the feature sees fashion meet a family story that extends far beyond the realm of style. Raised in Hanover, the five sisters - part of a Yazidi-Kurdish family - co-founded the human rights organization Háwar.help in 2015 and are actively engaged in projects promoting human rights, democracy, diversity, and empowerment. They spoke to Deutsch Vogue about their fears for the future, societal pressures, and where they find their optimism despite it all.
Visually, the editorial remains pleasingly understated. Nina Park’s makeup allows the five distinct personalities to shine: fresh skin, muted colors, and a modern, effortless beauty look complement Sarah Willmeroth’s clean fashion portraits rather than overpowering them.
Speaking to Vogue, Düzen Tekkal sums up the mindset behind the story: "My strength is always greater than my fear." Her sisters share their own perspectives on family, responsibility, threats, courage, and solidarity.
HÁWAR.help stands for a peaceful and just world that respects the universality of human rights: a world where everyone can flourish in safety and self-determination. "Founded on the ashes of a genocide, we aim to embody humanity and inspire hope. Out of profound pain—the genocide against the Yazidi people—came a decision to fight for human rights, creating a powerful force for good. Vulnerability transformed into an organization: HÁWAR.help."
Makeup artist Nina Park is represented by the Hamburg-based agency BALLSAAL.
