Elibeidy Martinez and Luisana Gonzalez add to AOC’s beautiful December 23, 2018 color brew, lensed by Yelena Yemchuk with styling by Camille Bidault-Waddington. As someone immersed in advancing women of color in every industry and creative endeavor my entire life, there is no doubt that without a lot of fanfare, Porter Magazine and the weekly Porter Edit have done a consistent and spectacular, nothing-to-see-here job of moving Franca’s vision forward.

Robbie will debut in January 2019 as Elizabeth 1, playing opposite Saoirse Ronan as Mary Stuart in ‘Mary, Queen of Scots’. The story centers on Mary Stuart, Elizabeth’s cousin and rival, in which woman is the rightful heir to the Scottish and English thrones.
Robbie has attracted considerable attention in her physical portrayal of Elizabeth 1, who has already been portrayed on movie screens almost 20 times. “Wearing a frizzy red wig, with chalk-white skin and a cluster of facial scars covering her cheeks and chin, Robbie was unrecognisable”, writes Refinery 29.
Director Josie Rourke said Elizabeth’s physical appearance was to find the vulnerability and humanity in a woman that would go on to reign over England for 45 years. In reviewing the film, Rolling Stone praises Rourke, writing:
“ And due credit to debuting director Josie Rourke for keeping the camera on the move and not simply relying on her theatrical chops as the artistic director of London’s Donmar Warehouse. Until their climactic, let’s-use-our-poetic-license of a get-together, teasingly staged amid flowing curtains, Mary and Elizabeth operate out of separate spheres while they side against each other. The irony is that the two queens were kindred spirits, irritated at all the controlling men telling them what to do — like, for example, Mary’s half-brother, the Earl of Moray (James McArdle). “
Rolling Stone continues:
“The film succeeds best when it shows how in times more conducive to the friendship of women in power the two queens could have been sisters under the skin. Ronan (Lady Bird) and Robbie (I, Tonya) were both nominated for a Best Actress Oscar last award season, and even when the pace of the film falters, these two performers hold you in thrall. That’s royalty.”

Scottish designer Jonathan Saunders has been chief creative officer of America's iconic Diane von Furstenberg or DVF since May 2016. In short order, Saunders injected modern color, clashing prints and expert draping techniques that pay homage to the original Smart Sensuality image of the brand.
These changes came into view in DVF's Fall 2017 ad campaign, an homage to New York City and all its people. Lensed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch and styled by Camille Bidault-Wadddington, with art direction by Jonny Lu, the campaign features Luna Bijl, Yoon Young Bae, Angok Mayen, and Cara Taylor amongst real New Yorkers in Harlem, Tompkins Square Park, and Liberty Island. "The people that the girls interacted with were kids that were dancing in the streets in Harlem and these beautiful boys, who we met on a bench in Tompkins Square Park, all these real people in New York that symbolize to me what is so brilliant about this city," Saunders told Refinery 29.
"New York is this brand’s home. Yes, it’s international, yes, travel is so important to this brand, but New York is its home," he says. Not to mention, "New York has always been an inspiration to me," Saunders continues. "I’ve always been inspired by the time in New York in the ‘70s where Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith, all these incredibly cool, incredibly creative people made such beautiful and extensive bodies of work within this city."
