Kenza Fourati is a Tunisian Fashion and Swimsuit Model. She is the eldest daughter of a radiologist and a Film producer. She made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2011. She is the first Female Arab model to pose for the magazine. In 2002 she finished third place in the Elite Model Look competition, and is now represented by Elite Model Management Paris and Ford Models New York.

In an interview with Global Grind, Kenza asserted, “I grew up in a Muslim culture, but I can still be a swimsuit model too! Why should the two be exclusive? It is not…I am very supported back home”. Post-revolution, Kenza has been an advocate for artistic expression in Tunisia. In the same interview with Global Grind, Fourati commented, “We are at a point now in Tunisia where we are free. We should be able to portray art like this if we want to, as the extremists are allowed to express themselves, too. That is a debate that we want to create, but it must be a peaceful one”. Fourati is currently represented by Elite Model Management. She began working for the agency after winning third place in the 2002 Elite Model Look competition at the age of 15. She has appeared in numerous international magazines, such as Belgium Elle, Vogue, and Marie Claire, and has attended countless Fashion Weeks.

In 2005, she appeared in the film Frankie directed by Fabienne Berthaud alongside the actress Diane Kruger. In October 2010, with Tunisian actor Dhafer Labidine, Fourati co-hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the Carthage Film Festival. In August 2011, during the 2011 month of Ramadhan, Fourati appeared in bikini recovered with tags on the cover of Tunivisions which created controversy. Fourati also graduated in Literature and Fine Arts from L'Universite de la Sorbonne in Paris. She also studied Film making and Acting in London.
