LAYLA HAIDRANI

Selected Works


I write for leading publications in the UK and Middle East  including British VOGUEHarper’s Bazaar, GQ, VICE, i-D, DAZED, AnOther, Refinery29, Dazed Beauty, Shondaland, Grazia, Cosmopolitan UK, gal-dem, Bustle, Time Out London and more.

I specialise in features, investigations, profiles, long reads and personal essays across a broad range of subjects including health, lifestyle, books, relationships as well as marginalised communities, contemporary faith and British identity and more. I have a particular focus on underreported stories affecting women and my agenda-setting journalism tackles hard-hitting issues rarely covered in mainstream media. My writing is inclusive and intersectional, giving a platform to marginalised voices and I aim to challenge existing assumptions.  

I’m adept at writing for various audiences from women’s consumer lifestyle such as British VOGUEHarper’s Bazaar, Refinery29, Grazia and Bustle, international audiences such as Cosmopolitan Middle East and GQ Middle East to business/trade titles such as Cancer Nursing Practice. You can read more here or scroll below.

My work has also been published in a number of territories including North America, the Middle East and South Asia.
