DUBAI: Models Imaan Hammam, Nora Attal, and Mona Tougaard recently walked the runway for Italian luxury retailer LuisaViaRoma at Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence, Italy.
The show, titled “Runway Icons,” was a partnership with British Vogue and was attended by A-list stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Fox, Tina Kunakey, Tobey Maguire, and Charithra Chandran.

Hammam, who is of Dutch, Moroccan, and Egyptian descent, wore two outfits. The first was a black ballgown with a voluminous skirt, while the second was a zebra-printed figure-hugging dress.
Sharing images and videos from the show with her 1.6 million followers on Instagram, Hammam said: “Runway Icons. Thank you so much @luisaviaroma @britishvogue (and) @edward_enninful for such an amazing evening.”
