I Modeled for Kojak and This Is What Happened

 

My favorite inimitable, mustachioed Egyptian designer Mohanad Kojak just released his new collection, Dementia, and guess what? I’m in it!

 

I’ve been a big fan of the Project Runway contestant for three years, to be exact. He never fails to mesmerize me every time he releases a new collection. Every single time. Whether it’s his designs, the way the models are styled and have makeup on, the shooting… basically just everything. So, when I got the phone call and found out that THE Kojak wants to include me in his latest photo shoot for his Dementia line, my heart literally skipped a beat. As you can see above, it’s very American Horror Story meets Gossip Girl – a.k.a. scary with a sprinkle of sexiness. Here are the thoughts that went through my head when I arrived to the shoot.

 

 

WHAT THE FUDGE, IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING?

 

“I lost my mind once, maybe more; you did too, you wouldn’t have been here if you didn’t; in this world I mean. Crazy; I’m not crazy, but are you? Call me names, I’ll call you one too; and even we’ll be in a vengeful place ruled under my name.” – #KojakInDementia Art direction: @mohanadkojak94 Fashion film by: @hadybassiony Hairstylist: @ellesaloneg Makeup Artist: @bynadanasrofficial Location: @downtowncairo Models: @tamimahafez @Lordmunky @sofiabogush @rebellyious @sohailakandil @aelsabh @youssefshamekh

Can I keep the owl as a pet? I’m so sorry, it’s just so cute please! Oh, and the building isn’t scary I swear! Can I live here forever?

Okay, this is your big moment now Amira! You need woo them and laugh like a true evil psycho queen

 

 

 

KOJAK AND EVERYONE ON THE SHOOT LITERALLY STOPPED EVERYTHING AND GAVE ME A ROUND OF APPLAUSE THIS IS NOT HAPPENING SOMEONE CALL 911 I AM CRYING

 

 

 

WE SAID THIS: I’d like to give it up to everyone who worked on this shoot, honestly. From the models (Tamima Hafez, Sohaila Kandil, Nariman El Bakry, Youssef Shemakh, Ali Sabh and Sophia Bogush) to the videographer Hady Bassiouny, and of course, Kojak. <3
