Rabat – Abla Essofi, better known as, Abla Sofy will be the first Moroccan and Arab model to represent the luxurious American brand Guess. She has been chosen by the designer Paul Marciano to work alongside big names of the fashion industry such as Jennifer Lopez, Gigi Hadid, and Paris Hilton.
“It was always a dream of me to be in the spotlight instead of backstage. The fact that I was a stylist and working with the biggest models and actresses allowed me to learn a lot about the industry and made it easier for me to get into it. I knew every trick and every detail as a model or actress,” she previously told Morocco World News.
The Moroccan model, actress, and blogger, who lives in Los Angeles, told this news to her fans on Instagram.
“It has been very emotional to sit at my old desk. Can’t believe I started 2 years ago with Guess as an assistant, then stylist, and now will be one of the faces of such global brand with all these amazing women I have always looked up to.” She wrote to her 182k followers.
“I got so lucky to meet people who believe in me and have pushed me to give my best and achieve so much in such a short time. These are people that I am so proud to call family now. Thank you,” added the fashion influencer.
Modelling aside, Sofy is actually participating in the Moroccan series broadcast during Ramadan “Disk Hyati,” alongside great talents such as Said Bey, Hamza El Fadly, Karima Gouit, Abdelilah Rachid, Hamza Kadri, Mohamed Kouyi, Fayçal Azizi, and Nadia Niazi.
Abla Sofy moved to Los Angeles when she was 20 to go to fashion school and has been part of the modeling world for the last four years. She rose to fame when she first appeared in RedOne’s music clip, “Boom Boom.”
“As an Arab, I was always worried about all these cultural barriers. When RedOne reached out to me and I saw that, even in the modeling world, we can still work while respect all our values, it made me very happy and excited to do it,” she told MWN.
