Billie Eilish Came After Dr. Priscilla Chan With Her Blast to Billionaires at WSJ Innovators Awards
Billie Eilish [IG] made a classic Ballbreaker move at Wednesday's WSJ Magazine [IG] 2025 Innovator Awards, where Eilish was receiving the Music Innovator Award in New York City on Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Eilish had platinum-level money in her sight with the best binoculars money can buy when she planned her acceptance award speech for last night. Now that we know that Dr. Priscilla Chan had already received her award before Billie, we have tempered slightly our euthusiasm over her performance.
Billie came after Dr. Chan in the awards order, and the Zuckerberg-Chan $45 billion donation to CZI was already acknowledged and praised in the audience when Chan received her award from Karlie Kloss.
Her short speech is playing well across the internet, and with the crisis that America is moving towards this weekend, Eilish will inspire our young people. Goddess knows, they need it.

Cindy Crawford, Daniel Ralph Mfaya and Romeil Johnson by Matthew Brookes for C Magazine
C Magazine is celebrating their 20th anniversary, with a memorable October 2025 issue. Founder Jennifer Smith Hale has gifted us a spectacular cover story featuring supermodel Cindy Crawford, An Icon Reimaginied at Paramount Studios, lensed by Mathew Brookes [IG].
Beyoncé’s dancers Daniel Ralph Mfaya [IG] and Romeil Johnson [IG] are essential to the glory of these images. Yes, the lens is very kind to this trio. And yet, they do not become artifice.
Romeil Johnson shares his thoughts on his IG:
PINCH ME. I had the absolute pleasure of accompanying THEE @cindycrawford for C Magazines 20th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE. . . you’re a vision!!!!! It’s an honor to get to even witness you work this up close, let alone stand next to you. Forever an Icon, thank you for sharing your light.
It’s interesting that the ‘sharing of light’ becomes an expressed metaphor in this photoshoot with Johnson’s comments, as Pharrell led a crowd of 300,000 humans gathered in Rome in September, creating their own light show for humanity. This becomes the glue that binds like-minded people to look into the eyes of our fellow travelers in this spirit-infused journey of peace. ~ Anne

Chanel SS-2026 Details Up Close and Personal Lensed by Louise and Maria Thornfeldt
AOC’s response to quiet Chanel news was OMG! But of course Matthieu Blazy [IG] will use Louise & Maria Thornfeldt at Chanel [IG]. And these fabulous details photographs truly bring Blazy’s Chanel debut collection to life.
These are some of the best photos AOC has seen in revealing textures and details up close and personal. And the show backdrop is stellar, even cosmic.
The textures, the weaves and embellishments. The jewelry and attitude of modernity. It’s also about Matthieu Blazy’s relationship with women — which is quite extraordinary from what I’ve read.

Mulberry Invites ‘Wicked: For Good Star’ Cynthia Erivo to Tim Walker 2025 Campaign
Mulberry [IG] has engaged British actor Cynthia Erivo to front its ‘The Mulberry Spirit’ Fall 2025 campaign, lensed by Tim Walker [IG] and styled by Kate Phelan.
Anne has experienced meteor showers all over her brain in the last week, after writing about Anok Yai’s Perfect Magazine #9 fashion story. I called her “a high priest for humanity” and meant it. You cannot imagine the psychological, spiritual, emotional roller coaster ride I’ve been on for the last week.
It’s another story — except that my Anok Yai-induced psycho drama dropped me off last week in the care of Cynthia Erivo and the November 2025 debut of ‘Wicked: For Good’. The trailer is stellar. It’s right up there with Pharrell’s Vatican City Concert 2025, discussed last night when I learned that Deva Cassell’s movie ‘Zero.A.D’ — where she plays the Virgin Mary — had been moved to 2026.

Brazilian-Kiwi model Angelina Kendall lets her hair run free, and not for the first time.

Emmanuelle Alt chooses a Celine melange-knit sweater dress for the cover lensed by Anthony Seklaoui [IG]. Makeup artist Hiromi Ueda finishes Kendall’s wild-woman spirit-artist appearance with a polished, natural glow.

Model, muse, artist and humanist, Conie Vallese takes us on a Roman holiday in the autumn travel special edition of Financial Times HTSI [IG] Magazine. This team also collaborated for HTSI’s Women’s Style Special AW25 [in the AOC queue].
Isabelle Kountoure styles Roman holiday-travel Vallese in Miu Miu for the cover lensed by Hill & Aubrey [IG]. Anne makes the same statement every week: for now — and I don’t mean a week or two — all roads lead to Rome.
AOC doesn’t treat Rome as a trend but as a truth, a key plank in the complex story of human civilization.

The trio shares creative director credentials for a fashion story called ‘Rust’, but as Anok explains on her IG — and quoted here on AOC — the story is about a deliberate act of claiming one’s own ‘Rebirth by fire.’ / Hair by Jacob Kajrup; makeup by Ana Takahashi; set design by Afra Zamara
Many Models are More than Mannequins
I believe that editorials should be like short films; It should take you on a journey and it should draw you into its world. I’m not gonna lie, there’s nothing I hate more than sitting in front of a white wall and looking bored. I decided to come up with ideas for editorials that I would want to see.
Anok continues from her very insightful perch of an accomplished artist and creative who runs into life and not away from it. The prism of her mind goes deeply into the human spirit and experience; and the contradictions of life.
I’ve always been enamored by stories of people disappearing or faking their deaths to start new lives with new identities. Cutting all contact with the past —essentially becoming a new person.
What drives someone to that point .. Desperation? Reinvention? Crime? Autonomy? Love?

Deva Cassel in Maria Grazia Chiuri's Last Dior Resort 2026 Collection in L'Official China
Actor and Christian Dior ambassador Deva Cassel covers L’Officiel China October 2025 wearing Maria Grazia Chiuri’s final Resort 2026 collection for the house of Dior.
Deva was born in Rome to an Italian mother [Monica Bellucci] and French father [Vincent Cassel]. She lived in France and was schooled there, although Italian is one of the five languages she speaks fluently.
Anne of Carversville was focused on the growing influence of Italy before the world got its first American pope on May 8th. In writing about the Louis Vuitton resort 2026 show, Anne said that all roads lead to Italy. That statement is rock solid today, and we’re about to get a global history lesson in the coming years.
