Malala Yousafzai; The face of British Vogue’s July 2021 Cover

Malala Yousafzai, among her many notable credits, recently appeared in the British Vogue.

Styled by Kate Phelan and shot by Nick Knight, the world’s youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner is a vision in look 36 from McCartney’s pre-fall 2021 collection- this was her most sustainable to date. Eighty per cent of the edit is made from eco-friendly materials, including Malala’s forest-friendly vibrant red viscose shirt detailed with French lace in Stella’s signature free hand.

In her interview, she touched on some highly topical concerns for Islam, Pakistan, and the entire world. For instance, the concept of modesty for women in Islam. Adorned in her headscarf, Malala responded to those who perceive such clothing as a symbol of oppression, stating: “Muslim girls or Pashtun girls or Pakistani girls, when we follow our traditional dress, we’re considered to be oppressed, or voiceless, or living under patriarchy. I want to tell everyone that you can have your own voice within your culture, and you can have equality in your culture.”

“Malala. At just 23 years old, her name and face have already become synonymous with a diverse new generation of activist women, who are finding their voices in our world, staying strong in their truths and fighting for equality,” says Stella McCartney. “I am truly and utterly humbled to see someone so unflinching in her grace and poise wearing my designs.”
