Vogue's newest fashion editor Rawdah Mohamed was born in Somalia and was forced to flee the Somali civil war, spending years of her childhood in a refugee camp in Kenya where she and her 11 siblings lived in a one-room tent before moving to Norway with her family at the age of nine.
She said she received a lot of hate and suffered from bullying in Norway because of her Hijab.
"A teacher confiscated the hijab because he said it was disturbing the class, so I started bringing a spare".
Because of this, she started suffering from insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
She started developing an interest in fashion when she was a teenager and started posting her outfits on Instagram in 2016, where she grew a big following.
She was signed to a modelling agency in 2019, working for brands like MaxMara and Cartier while balancing her career as a mental health specialist.
She was then approached to join Vogue Scandinavia and she landed the job of a fashion editor in October 2020.
