Did you know that #KrisJenner started working at just 10 years of age, and was responsible for the wrapping station at a candle store? It was an experience that helped shape her into the businesswoman she is today, arming her with the ambition and tenacity that made her one of Hollywood’s most powerful women. When speaking about her role models, Jenner credits her mother and grandmother, whose lessons helped her lead nine mega beauty and fashion brands while starring in 27 seasons of her family’s show. With an unstoppable go-getter spirit, it’s safe to say the Kardashian CEO has no plans of handing over the reins anytime soon. “I don’t know what 70 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great and I’m happy to be here. My mom worked until she was 82, and I’m planning on following suit. Maybe 85?” she muses in this month’s issue.

Starring #KrisJenner, #VogueArabia’s September edition dives deep into topics like ageism, fashion anchored in intention, and spotlights inspiring personalities from the GCC. In a month traditionally focused on novelty, we break conventions by tapping the 69 years ‘young’ entertainment icon for this key edition standing for solid creativity and timeless style. Taking over our televisions for the past 18 years, Jenner candidly shares what made her expose her family to the media and how she balances her roles as mother and grandmother, while being the CEO of nine billion-dollar companies. Jenner also reveals the secrets behind her much talked-about physical transformation. “I decided to do a facelift because I want to be the best version of myself,” she confided, standing for a woman’s right to choose. “Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything. But for me, this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version.” Tap the link in bio to know more about the issue.

“To be perfectly honest, I never thought the exposure would be harmful,” #KrisJenner shares in this month’s cover story. On air for a record 27 seasons over 18 years, her reality show has always been as raw as it gets – featuring family wins, but also (a lot of) drama. But that didn’t mean everything should be hidden from the audience. “We always had editing rights, that’s the way I negotiated the deal. I wasn’t going to put my family in a vulnerable situation by signing a piece of paper that would say you could do whatever you wanted with our image, and we would only see it on TV,” she says. “But we quickly realised that the raw moments, the tears and showing our real lives had real value. We only took something out when we looked bad, or there was a nicer angle.” Swipe through to check out some of the highlights from the cover story, and tap the link in bio for more. في مقال غلاف هذا الشهر، قالت كريس جينر: “لم أفكر يومًا في أن هذا الظهور قد يكون له جوانب سلبية”. على مدار 27 موسمًا خلال 18 عامًا، وهو رقم قياسي، اشتهر برنامجها الواقعي بجرأته في عرض تفاصيل حياة العائلة، من الانتصارات إلى الأحداث الدرامية. لكن هذا لا يعني أنه يجب إخفاء كل شيء عن الجمهور. تقول جينر: “لطالما احتفظنا بحقوق التحرير، هكذا أبرمت الاتفاق. لم أكن لأُعرّض عائلتي للخطر بتوقيع عقد يمنحهم السيطرة الكاملة على صورتنا، ونكتشفها فقط عند عرضها على التلفزيون”. وتضيف: “لكننا أدركنا سريعًا أن اللحظات العفوية والدموع التي تعكس حياتنا الحقيقية لها قيمة حقيقية. لم نكن نحذف شيئًا إلا عندما يكون مظهرنا سيئًا، أو عندما تكون هناك زاوية أفضل للعرض”. اسحبوا الشاشة للاطلاع على أبرز ما جاء في قصة الغلاف.

Despite being a coming-of-age drama, The Summer I Turned Pretty – based on Jenny Han’s novel trilogy – has quickly captured the hearts of millions of millennials worldwide. The first two episodes of its third and final season drew 25 million viewers, and according to The New York Times, its core audience consists of women between the ages of 25 and 54. "In a society where the wants and desires of women are often ridiculed or belittled, here is a piece of pop culture that tells us it’s okay to feel things deeply," writes one #Vogue staffer. "And that, regardless of whether we’re Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah, what we want matters."

#GiorgioArmani’s passing marks a profound loss for the fashion world. “Giorgio Armani had such a clear force of personality and vision that you knew his work instantly, wherever you found it,” Anna Wintour, Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast and Global Editorial Director of Vogue, said. “He understood power and attitude and elegance as well as anyone ever has in fashion, and he understood women too: how they wanted to dress and what message they wanted to send as they asserted themselves through his rise in the ’70s, ’80s, and beyond. He also never confined himself to one field or one discipline, and understood that fashion can’t exist in a silo. For him fashion wasn’t one thing: It was also film, music, sport, art, design, and architecture, and he left his mark in all these worlds—and everywhere he went.” As a tribute to the beloved designer, we look back at some of the most memorable moments from his recent shows around the world. #VogueArabia

Legendary Italian designer #GiorgioArmani has died aged 91. “With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani,” a statement from the fashion house read. “Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. Indefatigable to the end, he worked until his final days, dedicating himself to the company, the collections, and the many ongoing and future projects.” Armani presented his last collection, SS25, as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 28, 2025.
