CR Fashion Book’s September issue shines a spotlight on global challenges, featuring supermodels Gigi Hadid and Halima Aden to raise awareness about UNICEF’s efforts for refugee children. As leading figures in the modeling world, both Hadid and Aden demonstrate how models can use their platforms to advocate for meaningful causes.
Carine Roitfeld’s 13th edition of CR Fashion Book emphasizes diversity and impact, pairing high-fashion storytelling with real-world initiatives. Halima Aden, represented by IMG Models, and Gigi Hadid, who comes from a refugee background herself, exemplify how models can be more than just faces in magazines—they can become voices for change. This collaboration also showcases how top model agencies support projects where their models contribute to global humanitarian efforts.
Aden’s journey from a Kenyan refugee camp to the covers of Vogue Arabia and Allure illustrates the transformative power of modeling when paired with advocacy. Similarly, Hadid has accompanied UNICEF missions, sharing her experiences and encouraging her millions of social media followers to participate. These actions highlight the growing role of models in not just fashion, but also global awareness campaigns.
UNICEF USA CEO Caryl Stern praised their involvement, noting that the models’ initiative made it easier to engage the public. From fundraising for essential supplies to educating communities, the models’ influence demonstrates that model agencies can foster socially conscious careers alongside high-profile modeling work. By leveraging their platforms, these models show that fashion and philanthropy can go hand in hand.
