“Flying from Miami to Egypt, Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima was an absolute pleasure to work with, and a beacon of professionalism. She formed an unexpected but perfect dynamic duo with the legendary comedian Samir Ghanem, who paid us the honor of participating in a shoot where we explore the intersection of fashion and humor, with a touch of surrealism.” At 82, Ghanem is the oldest person ever to be featured on the cover of VOGUE – and one of the few ever men. “I believe comedians should continue to work until the last day of their lives,” he says in our interview. Ghanem continues to be as funny and energetic as ever, making the team laugh literally every other minute. It was a true treat to see him in action while wearing some of the original props of his iconic character Fatota – big bow and green jacket included. We had an unforgettably fun day in Cairo.” Read the whole story under: vogue.me//vogue-arabia-november-2019-cover-adriana-lima-samir-ghanem, which was illustrated by Elizaveta PORODINA c/o SONJA HEINTSCHEL.
