Kaia Gerber in Givenchy by Sarah Burton for W Magazine
British designer Sarah Burton is totally honest, speaking with William Middleton for W Magazine [link] two days before her second showing as Givenchy’s creative director.
The interview is part of a Givenchy fashion story ‘Strength and Sensibility’ featuring Burton’s hand-picked, super-femme model and actor Kaia Gerber. Camilla Nickerson styles the fashion shoot lensed by Craig McDean [IG].
Kaia signed on in November to play her mother Cindy Crawford opposite Homer Gere, son of Richard Gere. The new TV show ‘The Shards’ arrives 30 years after Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere's divorce and will play on the FX platform.
“When we think of how to empower a woman, she’s often put in a suit or something constructed, something male,” Burton says. “Instead, I was looking at female iconography and how it can be used to make a woman feel incredibly powerful. I wanted to look at sexuality and sensuality, revealing bits of the body in certain ways.”

Adwoa Aboah Lives in a New Era with British Vogue December 2025
Model, activist, ambassador, mum Adwoa Aboah was honored as ‘Woman of the Year’ at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2025 in London on October 30, 2025.
Today we find her on British Vogue’s [IG] inaugural ‘Best Dressed List, celebrating the 50 models, actors, musicians and more who are shaping the fashion zeitgeist.
When it comes to Adwoa Aboah, the woman you might think you ‘know’ — and we use ‘know’ loosely — she has evolved in some spectacular ways.
Everywhere we look today, Chanel joy by Matthieu Blazy is rockin.
Not everyone could put a fresh spin on Matthieu Blazy’s first iteration of the classic Chanel suit – the same one Michelle Obama wore to launch her new book – but on Adwoa, with her trademark tattoos and constellation of freckles, a check wool trouser suit suddenly becomes the thing.

Madame X, Creole Society, Pope Leo XIV and the Great American Experiment
American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent's officially titled "Portrait of Madame X," is one of the most renowned and scandalous artworks of the 19th century. Painted in 1884, it captures the striking visage of Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, a Parisian socialite known for her unconventional beauty and daring fashion sense.
The minute AOC read the word ‘Creole’ to describe the ancestry of Sargent’s muse, Anne stopped to consider Madame Gautreau’s background within the context of new Pope Leo XIV’s own Creole family lineage.
In September 2025, Pharrell Williams co-hosted with Maestro Andrea Bocelli the ‘Grace for the World’ concert in St. Peter’s Square and —yes, the men were all dressed in Louis Vuitton Men black suits elegance.
Many of us were online together when John Legend sang ‘Glory’. It was a total catharsis in straightening our spines and marching forwards with Pope Leo as our wingman.

David Webb Spirited TOTEM Collection by Elizaveta Porodina
David Webb believed that jewelry and gems should be treated as artworks. Nearly every ancient culture around the world inspired the North Carolina man, who also had big dreams.
Webb’s primary source of global inspiration was a near-obsession with studying artifacts and art at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art [Met].
Webb drew inspiration from "the human spirit" and aligned his designs with the cultural changes of the 1960s and 70s, which embraced jewelry that was more “soulful and meaningful”.
Under its new owners, David Webb combusts a spectacular opportunity for the brand’s future and David Webb’s personal legacy. Anne is so excited.
