Rabat – Moroccan-Egyptian model Imaan Hammam was the highlight of the Moschino Pre-Fall Show 2020 in New York. Moschino’s designer chose to both open and close the show with Imaan Hammam.

With an all-out 80s “over-sized” theme Moschino’s new line paid homage to New York, hosting a fashion show in the city for the first time. Hammam opened the runway sporting a zippered grey tracksuit, soft fur boa, golden chains, Timberland boots, and a small face tattoo by tattoo artist, Jonboy.
Closing the catwalk, she owned the stage in an embellished plunging neckline gown, gold door-knocker earrings, and giant boom box purse
Hammam thanked the Moschino designer Jeremy Scott in an Instagram post after the show: “Last night Opening and Closing the Moschino show.”
