Speaking with The New York Times , the magazine's editor-in-chief Manual Arnaut assures that the content inside of Vogue Arabia's inclusive September issue does just that, including a street style spotlight on prominent modest fashion figures who wear hijabs, a feature on Middle Eastern royalty and their jewellery lines, and a profile on actress Amira Khalil. He went on to defend the decision to put yet another Hadid on the cover: "We constantly look for people and content that will resonate with our core readers. That said, it is also about finding a balance," he explained. "The Arab world is not a ghetto. It is a highly informed, international and cultured region where global stars like the Hadids have a cult following. Karl Lagerfeld is a legendary figure for fashion fans in the Middle East, too. We champion what goes on inside our borders, but our mission as a magazine is to cover what goes on outside them as well. That is real diversity."
