Anok Yai and Vittoria Ceretti stroll together arm-in-arm in Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park for the Michael Kors Collection Fall ’23 campaign. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin capture the two, very successful, fashion industry models styled in the theme of ‘Urban Bohemia.’
Gloria Steinem’s Ms. Magazine turned 50 last year, and Gloria herself is nearing 90. Michael Kors was inspired by not only Steinem in designing his Fall 2023 collection. The Kors moodboards this season were peppered with 1970s activist, determined women including Ali McGraw, Cher, Jane Fonda, Lena Horne, Tina Turner and more. Disciplined and laser-focused on change, these women also embraced Greenwich Village style — especially because of its proximity to New York University.

Regular Chanel contributors Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photographed Jennie Kim in Seoul, South Korea.
To AOC, the collages also tap into new visual imagery being unleashed in the rapidly emerging field of AI and its ability to create sophisticated visual composites.

Not every model has ‘Fuerza Natural’, making her a ‘natural force’ or a ‘force of nature’, which AOC prefers. Top-tier model Irina Shayk possesses this innate charisma and sensual power, which would have rendered her ‘supernatural’ in the ancient world.
Irina is styled by Valentina Collado in images by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin [IG] in this fashion story set in Mexico. The location is a Chablé Hotel, with two boutique hotels in the Yucatán and the Riviera Maya.
Read More'The New Supers' Paloma, Jill, and Precious by Inez & Vinoodh for British Vogue April 2023
/
Models Paloma Elsesser, Jill Kortleve and Precious Lee are British Vogue’s April 2023 cover stars. EIC Edward Enninful makes the point in his editor’s letter that it’s very rare when three models come together in a special kind of energy.
Gabriella Karefa-Johnson styles the sensual fashion bonfire lensed by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin [IG].
Thirty years ago Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista were a trinity. Edward’s argument is that now Paloma, Jill and Precious share their stature.
With a shared mission born from friendship, and squarely plugged into the more revolutionary energy of the current zeitgeist, this month’s cover crowns the rise of three extraordinary models.
AOC is not prepared to comment on the observations of Edward, and other writers as well, about the recent autumn/winter 2023 fashion shows:
Read MoreAfter returning from the recent autumn/winter 2023 fashion shows, and seeing countless catwalks where diversity of beauty, and of bodies, had taken several steps back, I couldn’t be happier to take this moment to celebrate this trio.
Actor Whitney Peak Named Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Ambassador
/
Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance has a new ambassador — 20-year-old actor Whitney Peak [IG], who now follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Keira Knightly.
The Ugandian-Canadian actor has an existing relationship with Chanel. Peak had a major role in the 2021 HBO Max reboot of the Gossip Girl series, the Apple TV+ series Home Before Dark, the Netflix series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and the Disney+ film Hocus Pocus 2.
The Coco Mademoiselle fragrance and Whitney Peak are a perfect match. Whitney Peak isn’t a shy femme; rather she embraces her bold and carefree side, as expressed in her natural, 2023 Diana Ross hairdo.

/
Polish supermodel Anja Rubik celebrates her outstanding career in the pages of Vogue Poland’s 5th anniversary issue, where she serves as guest editor.
Rubik poses in a Saint Laurent Men’s fashion story styled by Paul Sinclaire and featured on Anthony Vacarello’s IG as Saint Laurent Artistic, Creative, Image Director.
Anja is a friend of the Saint Laurent house and frequently appears in the brand’s menswear as well as womenswear.
AOC is a long-time admirer of Anja’s work as a sex educator, Joan-of-Arc level warrior for women’s rights to control our own bodies in the arena of abortion politics, and all aspects of LGBTQIA+ social justice rights.
In our opinion, Anja Rubik rests at the very top of that social activist pyramid, facing off with adversaries in a fearless and defiant posture. Rubik is also a committed environmentalist who has managed to soar in fashion world, while staying true to her own values.

The best story about Rihanna’s and A$AP Rocky’s impossibly-enchanting baby boy being on the cover of British Vogue is how the parents responded to a split second flicker of a camera lens in the distance on the day of the March 2023 issue photo shoot.

Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin [IG] were ready to shoot the cover. British Vogue EIC Edward Enninful found the setup absolutely perfect. All systems were go.

Writing about Loro Piana’s Fall 2022 collection and campaign, AOC shared highly-specific information about a decade’s worth of the brand’s processes and control over its cashmere production.
‘Transparency’ is a stake in the ground among today’s cashmere brands, including less expensive but very well-run cashmere labels. There is no “Don’t worry, be happy, I’ve got this issue under control so you don’t have to worry” in today’s cashmere business.

“Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” Gisele Brady tells ELLE US about her husband Tom Brady. “I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too.”
Gisele’s recent departure to Costa Rica after a huge fight in which she says apart from this interview that what really caused the big uproar was the way Brady treats the kids when he is home. Everyone is supposed to understand that dad is ‘beat’ and needs alone time. Gisele says that Brady also was unkind to the kids when they wanted to chill out with him.
CNN writes the couple is living in separate houses in this moment.

Chanel Sends "A Certain Notion of Femininity" with Spring 2022 Campaign AOC Fashion
Like so much of fashion branding, the CHANEL spring 2022 campaign evokes a world far different than the one we’re living in. It begs the question, though, about the world of the Chanel customer and whether events like rising autocracy and now Putin’s war on Ukraine impacts them at all. Do they even care?
Vivienne Rohner is center stage in images by Inez & Vinoodh [IG].
In the words of CHANEL
The campaign for the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection is an ode to youth whose nonchalant grace resonates with the endless days of summer. Within the discreet charm of a villa in Provence, Inez & Vinoodh [IG] capture the model Vivienne Rohner and through her a certain notion of femininity.
My advice to Chanel is to proceed carefully with this “nonchalant grace” and a “certain notion of femininity” attitude.
A nuclear plant is on fire in Ukraine, started by Russian forces on March 3, ordered to action by Vladimir Putin. Russia’s autocrat is threatening nuclear attacks on the rest of the world. Ukraine’s citizens are suffering heroically, as they fight for democracy and hold a torch of light that is inspiring nations to action worldwide.
