'House of Cards' star, activist, humanitarian, entrepreneur, mom and newlywed Robin Wright covers the August 31 issue of Porter Edit. Helen Broadfoot styles Wright in relaxed, casual looks including multiple selections from Pour Les Femmes, her new clothing project inspired by Wright's first trip to the Congo over 10 years ago. Lensed by Boo George, Robin Wright will be spending plenty of time in Paris, having married Clément Giraudet, Saint Laurent VIP relations manager in mid-August.
The interview spends too much time on the disgraced Kevin Spacey -- although the dialogue is worth the read -- and not enough time on the women in the Congo, people far more important to Robin Wright than the former star president of 'House of Cards'.
AOC has covered all the topics in Wright's reflection on her involvement in the Congo. While we pull them together, the humanitarian activist reflects on her socially conscious clothing line Pour les Femmes:
The story behind the brand is pretty powerful: inspired by a trip to Congo over 10 years ago, Wright started the company with her friend Karen Fowler to provide economic opportunities – and a skilled trade in sewing – for women in conflict zones around the world. The range consists largely of pajamas, partly because both of them love to sleep (“I wish I could sleep like a teenager. But I love being in bed, working in bed, watching movies in bed,” says Wright), but also because pajamas represent comfort and security, which women in war-torn regions rarely have. “Buy our pajamas because you are helping a woman start her life again after being raped repeatedly,” she says, frankly. “It’s pretty simple.”
Manhattan Beach, Calif-based denim brand is betting on its second coming, tapping Bella Hadid as the new face of the brand. After emerging from bankruptcy late in 2017, True Religion says that Hadid is "the natural choice to meld the iconic essence of the braned with the modern view of its future."
An all-star creative team was assembled to shoot the fall campaign, which will begin appearing in media on Aug. 27 and in all store windows across the U.S. and U.K on Sept. 6. Photographer Boo George, stylist Mimi Cuttrell, and hair and makeup duo Jen Atkinand Mary Phillips created the imagery and looks to usher True Religion into a new era that honors the heritage of the brand.
“It was a great experience shooting an iconic denim campaign in Los Angeles,” Hadid said. “I grew up with True Religion and was excited to play a part of the brand’s next chapter.”

Kim Kardashian West At Home With Boo George In ELLE US April 2018 Cover Interview
The knives are already out again for Kim Kardashian, with her Elle US April US cover story. Forget Kim's jaw-dropping, photographer Boo George cover image that leaves any fashionista worth her reputation in awe. Come on, now!!! Either give the woman a nod for one great photo above, or send me your resume, so we can review your own credentials for ALWAYS shredding any image of Kim Kardashian, styled here by Anna Trevelyan.
I'm not even a Kardashian fan, although I do admire her talent, focus, self-discipline, business, family and body results. But reading the ruthless shredding of every action Kardashian takes is getting me downright empathetic towards the woman.
Embroiled in controversy around The Women's March this week -- triggered by Tamika Mallory's strong embrace of Rev. Louis Farrakhan -- (this article seems fair and balanced) I've been doing more reading than usual, noting that Kim Khardashian is considered to be a 'Beckeisha'. Writing for The Root, Michael Harriot breaks down The 5 Types of 'Becky': a white woman who uses her privilege as a weapon, a ladder or an excuse. Ex: “A random Becky hit me up on Twitter to explain why not all white women are racist.”
Part of the privilege of Beckydom rests in its members’ unflagging belief that everything belongs to them. For this subset of Beckys, culture, history and black penis are all disposable commodities for them to use and discard at their whim. In their belief system, you can’t be offended when they appropriate a culture or call something “ghetto,” because they don’t have a racist bone in their body. Plus, they once had a black boner inside their body, so how can they be racist?
Beckeishas slip on the temporary camouflage of black culture like a loose-fitting, swap-meet dashiki. They don’t consider themselves thieves; they are more like culture vultures—digesting dead black things until their bellies are filled, and then vomiting up the unwanted oppression and pain as they spread their wings and fly away. But you know what they say: Once you go black, you’ll never go back ...
... unless you’re a Beckeisha. Because they always go back. Because they can.
Identifying call: “I dated a black guy in college.”
Famous Beckeishas: Anyone with the last name “Kardashian”; Miley Cyrus; Rachel Dolezal; white girls who twerk.
Read the ELLE interview by Molly Young, one considerably more respectful toward KK than The Root. What's that movie -- 'What A Wonderful World?' We're livin' it! ~ Anne
