Malika El-Maslouhi makes her mark this March

DUBAI: Moroccan Italian model Malika El-Maslouhi continues to cement her status as a runway and campaign regular during the March 2026 fashion cycle, with a strong presence across both the Milan and Paris fashion weeks.

El-Maslouhi took to Instagram to share her appearance as a guest at the Ann Demeulemeester runway show in Milan, where she opted for a grungy, relaxed look.

Her most visible moment this month came during Paris Fashion Week, where she walked for Nina Ricci’s Fall/Winter 2026 show. Notably, El-Maslouhi was selected to close the runway presentation. She wore a silky rose-gold suit, which caught and reflected the runway lights as she moved, giving the tailoring a luminous, almost liquid quality.

Around mid-March, El-Maslouhi appeared in the Calvin Klein Swimwear 2026 campaign, shot by Josh Olins. This followed closely on the heels of a spring 2026 denim campaign with the same brand.

This month, she also appeared in Guest in Residence’s Spring 2026 campaign. The campaign, led by creator and model Gigi Hadid, highlights the label’s signature cashmere pieces through a relaxed, lifestyle-driven aesthetic. El-Maslouhi’s inclusion underscores her versatility, shifting from high-fashion runways to softer, everyday styling.

Meanwhile, last month, El-Maslouhi was the embodiment of relaxed in Parisian label Maje’s Spring-Summer 2026 campaign.

The model took to Instagram to share shots from the campaign. Set against a minimalist concrete backdrop, El-Maslouhi was seen wearing a green and white striped knit cardigan paired with wide-leg, speckled denim and chunky black boots, creating a chic contrast between casual comfort and fashion-forward styling. The oversized brown leather bag slung under her arm added a touch of understated luxury.

She captioned the post, “Spring renaissance.” 

El-Maslouhi, born in Milan to a Moroccan father and an Italian mother, began her modeling career at the age of 18. She has since appeared on runways for international fashion houses including Dior, Chanel, Valentino and Jacquemus, gracing the catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks. Over the years, she has walked for brands such as Ulla Johnson, Prabal Gurung, David Koma, Boss, Missoni, Messika and more.

She has also featured in campaigns for brands such as Calvin Klein, Off-White and Lanvin, expanding her portfolio across both luxury and contemporary fashion.

In 2022, she was awarded the Model of the Year in Italy title.
