The London-born model is starring in a new campaign by Dubai-based online retailer Namshi, and the shots are glorious (think slouchy grey velvet suits and printed kimonos).
The 25-year-old, who has Pakistani and Moroccan heritage, celebrated by sharing one of the campaign shots snapped at a metro station.
“When boss mans on their way to work and they gotta see my big head,” she joked.
Idrissi forms part of the homegrown e-tailer’s new We Are Namshi rebranding campaign, which is looking to target millennials in the GCC.
“I’ve met so many fearless and innovative people in this region, so wanted to provide a platform to represent and inspire these hard-working millennials,” says the site’s creative director, Emma Walsh.
“Our rebrand reflects these people, who are not just shopping on Namshi but making huge waves though fashion, art and beyond.”
