Vincent van de Wijngaard & Imaan Hammam's Story Returns to Cairo
'A Sense of Place' follows Imaan Hammam as she revisits her father's narrative in Egypt, and is now showing at Cairo Photo Week. May 15, 2025 When Dutch filmmaker and photographer Vincent van de Wijngaard first visited Cairo two years ago, the image of the pyramids stayed with him. Not as distant monuments, but as part of the city's everyday landscape. That perspective became the starting point for a new story. Shot for Harper's Bazaar US, the series titled 'A Sense of Place' follows Moroccan Dutch Egyptian model Imaan Hammam as she revisits her father's narrative in Egypt. From a roadside café lit in soft blue tones to the wide desert expanses surrounding the Giza Plateau, the project blends fashion photography with a sense of personal return. This week, van de Wijngaard is back in Cairo as part of Cairo Photo Week. His series is on view at the historic Cinema Radio in Downtown Cairo, not far from where the images were first captured. Beyond exhibiting his work, van de Wijngaard engages with emerging photographers through portfolio reviews and workshops, helping to shape the conversations at the festival. As Cairo Photo Week continues to foreground local narratives and expand the region's image-making ecosystem, collaborations like van de Wijngaard's serve as a reminder that stories do not just travel. They come home. The festival is running until May 18th in Downtown Cairo.

The dress featured a thigh-high slit and a floor-length train. She accessorized her look with pointed black heels and a diamond necklace. This year's Met Gala marks two major milestones: it is the first to spotlight Black designers, and the first in over two decades to center on menswear. The theme was inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Saudi Arabia-based Argentine model Georgina Rodriguez wore a black satin gown with lace detailing along the neckline and waist. (Getty Images) The event was co-hosted by Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo and A$AP Rocky. Rihanna closed out the evening in signature fashion, revealing her newly announced baby bump. Her Marc Jacobs look included tied sleeves of a men's suit that served as a bustle behind her as she posed for the cameras. A$AP Rocky, who is both co-chair and the father of Rihanna's child, responded to congratulations on the carpet. 'It feels amazing. It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us 'cause we definitely happy, you know,' he told reporters on the red carpet.
