6-Degrees: Hindu Nationalists Burning Hillary Posters, A $1.5 Million Bounty for a Dead Deepika Padukone, and Ivanka Trump Rolling Into India

On this first morning in post-Roe America, Bollywood star Deepika Padukone is on my mind. She occupies my brain space — not because of her recent appointment as a Louis Vuitton ambassador and not because she “stole the show” in Cannes in early June, appointed as a member of the 2022 Cannes Festival nine-person jury.

Vogue India Interview

Padukone acknowledges in her Vogue India May 2022 cover story — a conversation between the actor and Faye D’Souza, edited and excerpted by Sadaf Shaikh — that she was pleased to be honored as a TIME 100 Impact Award 2022 recipient.

She’s here to talk her casual, tomboy style preferences — Red Carpet glam nights not included.

Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2022 Campaign by Nadia Lee Cohen | 'Fourth Choice' Leathers

Balenciaga shared really exciting news on the sustainability front, including the brand’s shift to using ‘fourth choice’ leathers. These hides have been rejected for some imperfection, and the term ‘fourth choice’ is theirs.
