Hanaa Ben Abdesslem is a one of the girls to watch this season and with good reason; Carine Roitfeld enlists the beauty for her final issue of Vogue Paris in a creative beauty story by Karim Sadli. The colorful story, styled by Melanie Huynh and featuring the makeup talents of Christelle Cocquet, is a shot in the arm filled with unique and colorful cosmetics looks.

A young Dutchman to watch, Bastiaan Van Gaalen is perfectly cast in the latest issue of i-D by Karim Sadli. Bastiaan’s serene beauty complements the minimalist fashion as styled by Hannes Hetta.

Karim Sadli‘s latest story for Dazed and Confused is pure, simple and completely fresh. Nicolas Ripoll poses in a series of jet black ensembles, each one more eye-catching than the last. Whether he is showing off a leather jacket or a dramatically laced bondage inspired piece Ripoll looks right at home in everything. Robbie Spencer‘s styling is a pitch perfect compliment for Sadli’s stripped down style and each element combines to create a uniquely powerful visual.

OTM’s former MOTW proves his versatility in the June issue of Velvet Magazine from Italy. Photographer Karim Sadli draws out an impressive range of expressions from Gavin resulting in a striking editorial that’s oh so elegant in its simplicity.
