A NYT Darling Deserves His Status

Not for the first time, the New York Times Style shares another major feature on Bottega under Matthieu Blazy. In doing so, they advance the hot topic of craft beyond superb execution and often ‘dusty’ heritage into the world of the creative director role itself.

At Bottega Veneta, Blazy champions his craftspeople for their role in the creative process. His is a rare ego in the world of luxury brands.

The Times introduces us to Barbara Zanin, a 26-year veteran of the brand who became Bottega Veneta’s first director of craft and heritage in July.

Our Deep Sadness for Morocco and Libya

AOC likes the fact that Tyler uses the words “Communion in an everlasting landscape” to describe the W fashion shoot. Except “everlasting” seems like an increasingly fragile word today.

Because Tyler set the mood, let us take a moment to consider the confirmed dead in Libya of 5,000 and heading as high as 10,000 in the devastating surge of floodwaters.

And also the growing death toll in our beloved Marrakech — a magical place that means so much to so many of us creatives. The current death toll is at 3,000 and climbing from the earthquake.

AOC shares Vogue Arabia ‘How to Help Morocco’ links. We are working on Arab-world recommended links for Libya. ~ Anne

The Sun Rises Again on the Human Body

Graham, a muse for the spring/summer collection and Saint Laurent Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello are in sync in a mutual embrace of an unapologetic physicality — a languid elegance that is most appealing.

British luxury brand Alexander McQueen reveals key images from its Fall 2022 campaign, lensed by esteemed photographer Paolo Roversi [IG], who shot the FW 2021 ANEMONES images.

Perhaps I have fallen too far down the rabbit hole into the world of mycelium and psychedelics. Michael Pollan’s new Netflix series ‘How to Change Your mind’ is just smashing. IMO, this entire McQueen campaign is a word salad.
