DUBAI: Moroccan Italian model Malika El-Maslouhi is getting emotional over her latest “magical” trip to Morocco.
Over the weekend, the model shared a carousel of images from her trip and captioned the post, “Morocco, the most magical place on earth” along with a heart emoji.
The photos include snapshots of food, trips to the desert, camp sites and what looks like a car ride through a crowded marketplace along with a film crew. The model kept the project under wraps, however, and did not mention why she was working with the camera crew.
The model’s trip to Morocco caps off a successful year.
Two months ago, she was named the Italian Model of the Year in a ceremony in the country. “Memo: If you want it, you must go get it!” she wrote in an Instagram post after the event. “This morning I was awarded Model of the Year Italy. Grazie mille to everyone that made today possible,” she added.
The model was also picked by US designer Tory Burch to star in a campaign for the label’s activewear offering, Tory Sport.
In a series of images shared on the brand’s Instagram page, 23-year-old runway star El-Maslouhi wore a pleated laser cut tennis skirt with a white tank top and a blue-and-beige cross body bag from the fashion house’s Summer 2022 tennis collection.
In other pictures, the model wore a monogram jacquard anorak, a matching red-and-yellow yoga set and a white polo shirt.
In May, the label tapped the model to showcase the brand’s pre-Fall 2022 collection via a series of campaign images.
El-Maslouhi, who was born in Milan to an Italian mother and a Moroccan father, is one of the most in-demand models in the fashion industry at the moment.
The catwalk star, who made her modelling debut when she was 18-years-old, has graced the runways of storied fashion houses in New York, London, Milan and Paris and walked for the likes of Ulla Johnson, Prabal Gurung, David Koma, Boss, Missoni, Messika and more.
She has also hit the runway for Dior, Chanel and Valentino, in addition to appearing in international campaigns for notable brands like Lanvin and Dundas.
