Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers Los Angeles-based Flaunt Magazine’s [IG] 25th Anniversary issue. Crawford delivers an impressive fashion story shoot, styled by Mui-Hai Chu, in Bottega Veneta on the cover. Photographer Greg Swales [IG] is behind the lens.

Flaunt writes: “Cindy Crawford, one of the world’s first and most well-known supermodels, is a rare icon that represents the past, the present, and the future. As seen in the recent Apple TV docuseries ‘The Super Models’, Crawford has made a profession out of risk-taking and has successfully navigated an ever-changing world of fashion, modeling, and media.”

There’s a reason why so many top models love to work with Greg Swales. Having watched Crawford on video in a November 2024 event attached to Omega Watches, these images are very much what Crawford looks like today.

The California light is kind to human faces. What I like about Greg Swales’ images is that the closeups of older women’s faces are not overtouched.

Kim Kardashian Covers Vogue Hong Kong, Lensed by Greg Swales in Bodycon Fashion

Kim Kardashian Covers Vogue Hong Kong, Lensed by Greg Swales in Bodycon Fashion AOC Fashion

Super mother, social justice lawyer-in-training, business mogul and sole owner of a new Gulfstream G650ER with an estimated $150 million price tag when customized, Ms. Kim Kardashian covers the April 2022 issue of Vogue Hong Kong.

Kardashian is styled by Danielle Levi in images by Greg Swales [IG]. Sean Kunhambu provides creative direction on the shoot with set design by Lucy Holt. Kim wears head-to-toe designer ensembles from Alaïa, Avellano, Burberry, Fendi, Prada, Rick Owens, Schiaparelli, Y/Project and more. Kardashian wears Bulgari jewelry throughout./ Hair by Jesus Guerrero; makeup by Ariel Tejada

The jet purchase was not a spur of the moment pain-killer from Kim’s major headaches with former husband Kanye West. Rather, it’s been many months in development.

Ye, Kanye West Update

Ye has been totally silent on social media for 9-10 days now, after being locked out of Instagram for 24 hours and cancelled from performing at the Grammy Awards.

The petition to keep Kanye off the stage at Coachella is now at 45,000. AOC has followed the petition very closely, being 110% satisfied that this is not some whimsical effort by racist people. After what happened with Travis Scott at Astroworld Festival 2021, even AOC feels danger reigns for Ye to perform at Coachella. There is no trust of his next action.

Having established himself as a vindictive stalker of Kardashian, Kanye could do anything once he gets ahold of the mic. So I understand the “cancel culture” accusations, but AOC spends a lot of time just reading Black blogs and hip-hop media blogs— especially the comments — and most people are pretty fed up with Kanye.

When he refuses to take any medication for fear it will diminish his genius, then Ye doesn’t care about other people. Kanye only cares about himself, and many people fear his next action, expressing regret that he won’t accept any professional help. So AOC has no big warm spot in our heart for Kanye West.

I am watching his 3-part Netflix documentary and did feel empathy and connection to him in Part 1. But that’s all long gone as the narrative progresses. By the time he’s calling Planned Parenthood supporters white nationalists and the Devil’s destructors of Christian civilization, it’s over for me. I did support Kanye in the past, even after he yanked the Grammy out of Taylor Swift’s hands. Ye’s praise of Vladimir Putin for being a tough guy doesn’t exactly warm my heart either as his tough-guy with dragon-energy [Kanye reveres dragon energy] destroys an entire nation and sends millions of refugees streaming out of their homes. Kanye’s form of Christianity is NOT the one I grew up worshipping. Kanye can take his “dragon energy” and put it in his pants in hope that it doesn’t hurt millions of innocent people. Kanye loves Trump for the same reason. More “dragon energy” .We don’t need more Dragon energy in the world. Dragons kill people. ~ Anne

Eco-Warrior Tasha Tilberg by Greg Swales for Fashion Canada April 2022

Eco-Warrior Tasha Tilberg by Greg Swales for Fashion Canada April 2022 AOC Fashion

Supermodel turned sustainability eco-warrior Tasha Tilberg covers Fashion Magazine’s April 2022 climate crisis issue. Simply stated, Tasha Tilberg always saw modeling as a financial means to an end, a financial goal that she adeptly achieved wearing her septum piercing, hand-poked tattoos and granola meets grunge aesthetic.

Tilberg underscores her essential identity to writer Annike Lautens this way:

Tilberg says that even from the beginning of her career, modelling was always just a job, not an identity. “When I introduce myself to someone, I never call myself a model,” she reflects. “It’s one of the things I do, but it’s not who I am. I was always buying my freedom. I did this because I wanted to buy a tractor.”

Her major success in modeling allowed Tilberg to buy her first farm at age 16.

Photographer Greg Swales [IG] captures Tasha Tilberg, styled by Leila Bani.
