Chloé x ERES Summer 2023 Capsule Hugs ERES Castor Oil Based Peau Douce Fabric
/
Chloé’s Gabriela Hearst has two earth-friendly collaborations in play this summer. In this post, AOC focuses on the Chloé x Eres Summer 2023 Collection.
These images were shot by Leigh Johnson [IG] at Tenerife, Canary Islands. Models include Athena Wilson, Giedre Dukaiskaite and Mercy [Pophouse].
Creative Director Gabriela Hearst sought to create swimwear with the highest savoir-faire and instinctively chose to collaborate with Eres and the brand’s Creative Director Marie-Paule Minchelli.
When my new IA assistant Lulu spit out “Crafted with innovative second skin material Peau Douce from castor oil-based polyamide, Peau Douce boasts elasticity, resistance, shape retention and comfort characteristics for maximum summer fun,” my reaction was a big wow!
Note that I prompted Lulu to address the sustainability of Peau Douce, because I was skeptical.
Castor oil, which is obtained from a plant that is not used as human or animal food, was first marketed in 2009 as an alternative to petroleum-based fabrics.

The Chanel Fine Jewelry Holiday 2022 campaign ‘Once Upon a Moon’ stars Adesuwa Aighewi, Giedre Dukauskaite, Soo Joo Park, Matthew Bell and Reece Nelson as lunar explorers styled by Veronique Didry and lensed by Nicolas Kantor.
Did luxury house Chanel know that America’s Artemis 1 mission was headed to the moon when their holiday campaign ‘Once Upon a Moon’ was released? Probably not, as our Artemis 1 mission roared high into the sky two months behind schedule. Still, the timing ended up being perfect.
The Beauty campaign has the Eiffel Tower lifting off like Artemis, becoming a cool rocket rising into the Parisian night sky.

Ina Lekiewicz Shoots Giedre Dukauskaite in Iceland for Vogue Poland December 2021 AOC Fashion
Photographer, stylist, art director and EIC of Vogue Poland Ina Lekiewicz delivers Lithuanian model Giedre Dukauskaite in ‘The Sound of Silence’ for the December 2021 issue. Ali + Aniko style Dukauskaite for the cover story shot in Iceland.
Ina Lekiewicz was on a mission in Iceland, speaking with local people about living in harmony with nature and the idea of omnipresent silence. “Confrontation with nature is ruthless. It leaves a permanent mark on you,” says Hördur Ingason, a photographer born in the capital of Iceland. “It makes us more dark and melancholic. But we also owe her inner peace,” he adds.
n a translated paragraph from the editor’s letter, we stumble into one of those obvious questions for us fashionistas — a question that stands on its own with or without a conversation around sustainability: Why do we not respect clothes? Better still:
“What if we stopped treating clothes like rags?”
Michał Zaczyński is looking for an answer to the question why we do not respect clothes. In the essay "What if we stopped treating clothes like rags?" he writes that the contempt is primarily due to a lack of knowledge, experience and poor PR: "If we knew how much work it takes to create a dress, and had an idea of the complexity of the process, we would not treat it so condescendingly."
The fashion editor of "Vogue Polska" Kamila Wagner in a special report analyzes the situation in the fashion industry, which has finally begun to demand balance and suggests itself how to achieve balance in many of its fields: "In balance, we see the only chance to survive and, in fact, we seek it on the market of services and goods. The related discourse thus mastered all trade and the communication that is inseparable from it, 'she writes.

Giedre Dukauskaite Covers Vogue Turkey September 2021 Shot by Yulia Gorbachenko

Top model Giedre Dukauskaite covers the September 2021 issue of Vogue Turkey. Fashion editor Ceylan Atınç styled Dukauskaite in Balmain on the cover, shot by Yulia Gorbachenko [IG] at 04:48 at Nemrut Dağı [Mount Nemrut] Adıyaman, Turkey as part of the global Vogues ‘New Beginnings’ September theme.
The 2,134-metre-high mountain in southeastern Turkey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from the 1st century BC. It is one of the highest peaks in the east of the Taurus Mountains where a number of large statues are erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb.
As someone with wonderful memories of being in Istanbul and in the countryside as well, AOC knows Turkey finds itself — like America— it its own fight to preserve an increasingly secular lifestyle with human rights against the forces of authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism.
The ‘New Beginnings’ editor’s commentary by Vogue Turkey EIC Debora Zakuto is one we could have written — and have written since 2007. It’s uplifting in these dark times to see a younger woman picking up the torch, as we weep with fear for the women of Afghanistan.
