Spring 2022 Self-Portrait London Women Like Bella Hadid CARE About Our Earth AOC Fashion

Bella Hadid’s sensual poses in Self-Portrait’s new campaign are littered over cyberspace. The WWD Exclusive has already traveled far and wide in support of Self-Portrait’s spring 2022 collection, revealed in London Tuesday September 2021.

Bella Hadid poses as the Self-Portrait woman of many dimensions: she is self-aware, self-indulgent, self-searching, self-determined, self-expressive, self-sufficient.

“When I think of the Self-Portrait woman, I never just have one person in mind — for me, the joy of what I do comes from designing for women with different personalities, different attitudes and different ways of living their lives,” Self-Portrait founder and creative director Han Chong said in a statement. “I wanted to celebrate this spirit with my new collection and wanted to present the different facets of the Self-Portrait woman with a series of images of Bella Hadid transforming into varying sides of her character.”

Nice words Mr. Chong, but AOC will add to your narrative, and we hope you don’t mind. We love Bella, and yours is an interesting brand story. Lucky for you, Anne remembered that Michelle Obama likes your clothes.

We self-actualized women want people to know that the Self-Portrait website has a significant section devoted to Ethics and Sustainability. In today’s world, loving ourselves and marching to our own drum confirms that we CARE deeply about the environment and its people living on Planet Earth.

We CARE that Bella Hadid took to Instagram in February 2021, now that she has donated 200,000 trees to One Tree Planted. Bella's trees are planted in Peru.

For the record, Bella's been planting trees and offsetting her air travel for several years now. We know because AOCwrote about her commitment.

AOC wishes that it was fashionable to share our values beyond self-love. When a good brand like Self-Portrait won't do it, we'll step in to give them a shove forward.

'No’ we weren't paid to write this post. Nor do we get free clothes.

We are only setting the record straight about Self-Portrait because they are trying to be a better business that is committed to ethics and sustainability.

We don't expect women to wear clothes that don't reflect their style and our true selves. We do want women to REFUSE to wear clothes that don't care about our planet, whenever possible. The sooner sustainability is as fashionable as sexy, the better off Mother Earth will be.
