The 26-year-old supermodel – whose father, Mohamed, is an Arab Palestinian – announced on Sunday that she will be pledging the money she makes from her Autumn 2022 shows to those suffering in both war-torn countries, after being inspired by fellow catwalk beauty Mica Arganaraz, 29.
She wrote on Instagram: “Having a set Fashion Month schedule has meant that my colleagues and I often present new fashion collections during heartbreaking and traumatic times in history.
We don’t have control over most of our work schedules, but we would like to walk ‘for’ something.
At the end of the day, innocent lives pay for war- not leaders. HANDS OFF UKRAINE. HANDS OFF PALESTINE. PEACE. PEACE. PEACE.”
Mica called on her peers and colleagues last month to donate their fees for Fashion Week to help with Ukraine relief efforts.
She said: “I have to say it feels very weird walking fashion shows knowing there’s a war happening in the same continent.
I will be donating part of my earnings of this fashion week to help Ukrainian organisations.
“To my model friends and colleagues and whoever is also struggling with this feeling, perhaps this is something we could all contribute to.
