Wild Romance Denim Nicola and Brooklyn Style for Vogue US Winter 2023

Wild Romance Denim Nicola and Brooklyn Style for Vogue US Winter 2023

The Winter 2023 issue of American Vogue [IG] declares a love affair with wide-leg jeans. Glam couple Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham front the fashion story and the 1970s vibe that inspired so many changes in American society.

Remember, we are in the dawning of ‘The Age of Aquarius’, so it makes sense. Speaking of wild romance terrain and wide-leg jeans “worth falling for,” Vogue is mum about married couple Peltz and Beckham’s intense friendship with Selena Gomez, called a ‘throuple’ by Selena. Media is eager to define the lifestyle of ‘Gopeltzham’.

If Brooklyn and Nicola hadn’t sold their home recently, moving into Selena’s Encino estate before Christmas, the big news would be that Peltz and Gomez have matching tatoos.

Polo Ralph Lauren 2021 Holiday Campaign Hugs Committed, Progressive Hearts

 Polo Ralph Lauren 2021 Holiday Campaign Hugs Committed, Progressive Hearts

The Polo Ralph Lauren 2021 Holiday Campaign reminds me that some of the best things in life are free — but not easy to assemble in one place. It’s damn difficult — sort of like telling the true story of America.

Ralph Lauren is on our Side: Don’t Blow it Ralph!

The top line takeaway — in case you are blind — is the concept of one global family with different but also shared values. Polo Ralph Lauren is for global citizens and the walls that we are trying to break through with all our might. That is one hell of a credential to be holding in your brand deck, so don’t screw it up, Ralph Lauren.

It may be a losing battle, frankly — crashing through these walls with all our might — but Polo Ralph Lauren is on our side — and not for the first time. We’ve been writing about Ralph Lauren’s best efforts for several years now.

AOC has criticized the Ralph Lauren brand a decade ago, but their pitch is near-perfect now.
