The Original Mille Miglia [1927-1957]
The Race: This was a dangerous, high-speed endurance race held on public roads in Italy. The figure-eight shaped course ran from Brescia to Rome and back, covering about 1,000 miles. The race was banned in 1957 following a horrific crash that killed driver Alfonso de Portago, his navigator, and nine spectators.
Legacy: The original race was known for making famous marques like Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Mercedes-Benz, with legendary drivers like Stirling Moss competing.
In 1977, the Modern 1000 Miglia was reborn. See the details in AOC Fashion.

'Edge of the World' Shot by Alasdair McLellan and Lessons of Ancient Rebellion in a Changing World
The May 2025 issue of Bazaar Italia adds a wonderful phrase in translation with a new twist. It inquires what beauty is for us, beyond a concept reduced to an “orgasm of the ego”.
Rather, this process illuminates the free expression of oneself, which evolves with our person and with the passing of time.
It’s possible — not probable — but possible in the world of fashion, that this focus could take hold not only under the umbrella of humanist thought, but now influenced further by Pope Leo and his beliefs as a member of the Augustinian order.
The Commitment to Educating Oneself: The Good, the Bad and the Indefensible
Augustinians have a deep commitment to the idea that each of us has the opportunity to embark on an inner journey towards understanding and cultivating a deeper relationship with God.
In America, where young white men are the primary drivers of a closer relationship to faith, the focus is regaining control, in my opinion.
There is a much richer vision for young people that is embedded in humanism — as expressed by designer Brunello Cucinelli. Remember that humanism came together in launching the Renaissance with both a secular wing and a religious wing. They were not identical but highly compatible in their views and values.

Chloé shares portrait of nine models — well-known and new — who walked the F/W 2025 show, and are lensed by Inez and Vinoodh [IG] wearing key design looks for fall, fresh off the runway.
Australian model Libby Taverner [above] opened the Chloé F/W 2025 show with creative director Chemena Kamali drawn to “a feeling of Britishness, old aristocracy — she’s in her castle” in the company of “cherished historical” Victorian jackets and great-granny’s fur stoles which are all the rage right now.
Dare we call it Bloomberg glamour? Jazz Age — British style? “They’re pieces that I’d want to give to my daughter—heirlooms,” was the designer’s word choice.
Besides Libby Taverner, models include Ava Shipp, Awar Odhiang, Binx Walton, Eniko Mihalik, Jacqui Hooper, Maelle Swaelens, Meghan Collison and Zhao Ziqi. Elodie David Touboul styled the Chloé Portraits photoshoot with hair by Gary Gill and makeup by Karin Westerlund.
