DUBAI: Dutch Moroccan Egyptian model Imaan Hammam was photographed for a 36-page zine by Australian photographer Max Papendieck, with all proceeds from the sale of the self-published work going to the She\u2019s The First (STF) organization. <\/p>\n
Hammam is an ambassador for the grassroots organization that helps empower young women through education around the world. <\/p>\n
She was photographed by New York-based Papendieck for an image-based zine that comes with a displayable plexiglass case. <\/p>\n
Hammam first teamed up with STF in 2019, when she brought her Instagram followers along on a learning trip to visit young girls in The Gambia. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe girls and boys were getting ready for the talent show that was taking place that day. I was so excited to see what they were working on, from dancing to poetry to singing. My role for the day was to accompany them and offer any advice that I might have,\u201d she later explained of the \u201clife changing trip\u201d on Instagram. <\/p>\n
The 26-year-old model previously opened up about her involvement with the non-profit organization and how she hopes to champion young women in an interview with Harper\u2019s Bazaar US. <\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a woman and having this type of career and this job, I just felt like at some point I was like, \u2018Oh, my God, I have to help women like me, or girls like me, to tell them and show them that you\u2019re able to dream big and be able to pursue any kind of dream you have,\u2019 she said of her partnership with She\u2019s the First. <\/p>\n
During the conversation, the model also revealed that her mother, who immigrated to the Netherlands aged 19, is a huge source of inspiration for her. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just have so much respect for her and for her journey that she had,\u201d she said. \u201cMy mom didn’t always have it very easy, and I feel like I did. And that’s why I think I’m so strong about helping women like my mom, or some girls like me that have always had a dream.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hammam is one of the most in-demand models in the industry. She was scouted in Amsterdam\u2019s Centraal Station before making her catwalk debut in 2013 by walking in Jean Paul Gaultier\u2019s couture show. <\/p>\n
Since then, she has appeared on the runway for major fashion houses, such as Burberry, Fendi, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Balenciaga and Carolina Herrera, to name a few. <\/p>\n
Hammam, who has been featured in leading fashion publications, such as Vogue and V Magazine, also starred in international campaigns for DKNY, Celine, Chanel, Versace, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani and many more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
