/Victor & Rolf muse Emily Ratajkowski, aka EmRata, is interviewed by newly-named head of the culture Violaine Schütz [IG], for Numero #243 out now.
Not all French women are so positive about a declared feminist like EmRata. Remember when French Vogue March 2022 ran a cover message that we’re living in a post feminist world now and there’s no need for women to be divisive any longer . . .
Schütz zeroes in on a key EmRata theme: " You thought you were a mind, but you're a body "

/Emily Ratajkowski covers the December 2023 issue of Vogue Australia [IG]. Journalist Mahalia Chang sits down with the mother of one to discuss freedom, privacy and self worth — a triad of issues associated with the politically active, feminist mega-talent and model for several years now.
Lachlan Bailey [IG] photographs Ratajkowski with styling by Vogue Australia EIC Christine Centenera.
Emily R is currently under fire for posing in a Le Monde M Magazine story standing in a pair of very plus-size ladies pants with much room to spare. THAT qualifies as a fatphobic mortal sin in America among so-called progressive women. [LOL, sorry]
Read MoreWill Icon Collection Pay Off for Victoria's Secret? Adriana, Candice, Gisele, Naomi to the Rescue
/The new VS campaign is excellent and has some real VS icons featured. Bringing back past VS models is a terrific idea for a brand trying to find safe ground to stand on. Shop the new collection at the VS website.
If I read the VS copy carefully, I’m sure we are all icons somewhere in it, so let’s just cut the AOC analysis short here and say “good job, VS.”
The Icon by Victoria’s Secret Collection models includes VS greats Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima, and Candice Swanepoel.
The Icon cast campaigns expands to include Adut Akech, Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, Paloma Elsesser and Sui He. I’m pleased to say that every woman listed here has archives on AOC.
Oyadeas!
Oh dear goddess Oya. I tried . . . I tried . . . I tried so hard to step carefully, but I just fell down the “we’re all icons” rabbit hole, and I did not see it coming.

Read MoreEmily Ratajkowski Cheers Vogue Spain May 2023 35th Anniversary Lensed by Brett Lloyd
/The model, writer, businesswoman and podcaster Emily Ratajkowski travels to the picturesque town of Chinchón, southeast of Madrid, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Vogue Spain’s May 2023 issue.
Emrata embodies Mediterranean sensuality in a fashion story that is pure style, celebration and tradition.
Photographer Brett Lloyd [IG] captures Ratajkowski, who is styled by Laetitia Gimenez Adam, in a story with a Sophia Loren vibe. That’s a compliment ER.
Emily Ratajkowski reminds me of Marilyn Monroe, who also sought to be regarded as a woman with an active, intelligent brain. Speaking of this major transition to being a multi-hyphenate writer, 'podcaster', political subject and mother [as described by Vogue], she explains:
“I thought the most I could do with my life was be a sex object and I said to myself, 'My God, I'm so unhappy.' So I started writing.”

/Emily Ratajkowski expands the Marc Jacobs Monogram Spring 2023 campaign, photographed by Harley Weir [IG].
Sexy woman that she is, Ratajowski looks equally great in the oversized trousers and jackets. While AOC won’t drill down here on her recent profile in the Los Angeles Times, EmRata is beyond fierce. And direct in her opinions — not only about her own past actions and relationships — but about women and feminism.
In the moment in which we are living, reading ‘No, Emily Ratajkowski won’t just shut up and look pretty’ was a welcome jolt, frankly.

American supermodel, arch feminist, author and activist Emily Ratajkowsteps into the light for the second time today on AOC [see Marc Jacobs] for the Ibiza spirit shoot styled by Benjamin Bruno. Gray Sorrenti [IG] is again behind the lens making the annual pilgrimage.
It was an American Stuart Rudnick, born and raised in Philadelphia, United States, who transitioned from being a Special Attorney with the United States Department of Justice to selling herbs on the streets of Ibiza, who became the right arm of Paula’s founder Armin Heinemann, a German architect by trade.
Here’s an engaging and inspiring interview with Heinemann on apartamento, and Paula Ibiza images from an out-of-publication book. LOEWE — people would pay $250 for this book! Republish it for a global cause! The world needs it.
