October’s – ‘The Bravery Issue’ – Download Now

“I always trust my gut feeling, I have a special connection with the universe around me, and I like to follow the messages it reveals to me,” says October’s  ‘The Bravery Issue’ cover star Khulood Thani.

During the shoot, the entrepreneur and curator revealed that she celebrates the region in every project that she takes on. “As a curator – and as an Emirati – I feel so much responsibility for building content that represents the United Arab Emirates in the best possible way,” she says.

Wearing the latest pieces from Italian luxury house Fendi, that equally places emphasis on heritage and craftsmanship, Thani fully embraces the empowering and courageous attitude of the collection.

From the statement leather coat and tough biker boots to the celebrated Peekaboo handbag, Fendi and Thani represent what it means to take bold steps and thus inspiring the next generation.

“Taking brave steps in life always rewards you with more knowledge, learning and experience,” she says. “Moments where we can act bravely always appear in our lives. Bravery is being thoughtful and considerate of yourself, the community or the environment around you.”
