As a stylist of colour from South Africa, being able to style @yahya in @pyermoss by @kerbito and shot by @quillemons for the cover of the global luxury title like @GQmiddleeast is what dreams are made of. I dreamed of moments like this all my life. S/o to @adambaidawi for always believing. This cover is incredibly special and close to my heart.

Here it is, my first issue as acting editor at @gqmiddleeast. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the market with my new position than @mustafathepoet. What is a new beginning for him is a fresh start for me. Thank you to everyone that allowed me to stand on their shoulders to get here, you’re all very special to me. Thank you brother, @mustafathepoet for allowing us to tell your story. @thisisnagy, you’re absolutely magical for capturing his purpose in text.

Firenze throwdown w/ @maenein

The art of personal chaos. 😮‍💨🥀 …and I left with a name only I could give myself.

It began with striking short films featuring Nawstique, Shef Codes, and Parvané — all under the tagline Between Us Boys @betweenusboys. Then came a beautiful campaign, Bouquets For Boys, in collaboration with UrArtU Flowers — soft, bold, and strictly between us boys. Who’s behind it all? Meet Mohamed Elashy @ashyxvii and Rusty Beukes @rustybeukes — the creative minds rethinking masculinity, beauty, and culture through their studio, Between Us Boys. We sat down to find out what it’s really all about. Check out our interview on sandytimes.ae. Link in stories. #TheSandyTimes #SandyTalents
