Pucci's Global Tribe Is Assembling: Anyiel,  Felice, and Malika for Holiday 2022/23

Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG] captures models Anyiel Majok, Felice Nova Noordhoff, and Malika Louback in the Emilio Pucci Holiday 2022/23 campaign ‘La Famiglia.

Imruh Asha styles a campaign the hugs Camille Miceli’s clear vision that “for me Pucci evokes a family of people spending time together, to enjoy life, parties, and well-being.”

Miceli wants the global enthusiasts, travel-loving, multi-generations Pucci ‘famiglia’ to embrace high-octane, dopamine-dressing as a form of spreading joyful optimism, self-confidence without a tinge of aristocracy [unlike Chanel] and a lust for life that reflects her own lifestyle.

Charlotte Wales Captures Lola, Malika, Mika in 'Nouvelle Vague' for Vogue France

Charlotte Wales Captures Lola, Malika, Mika in 'Nouvelle Vague' for Vogue France

Model Lola Nicon makes it abundantly clear that Malika Louback and Mika Schneider are along for the ride in ‘Nouvelle Vague’, Vogue France’s disoriented, disjointed February 2022 cover. Emiie Karech styles the trio for images by Charlotte Wales [IG].

AOC tries not to be too critical on creatives, but Vogue France is a mess. This is amateur hour for a magazine with a great history that ended in 2011. Good goddess!

In this sad cover concoction, just make the title ‘Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets!’ [that’s a song]. But I’ll say this. You want to upstage the very talented Malika Louback and Mika Schneider, who shine in the actual story and the industry at large, you all better know what you are doing. Because you failed here, and this is French Vogue — or it was once long ago Vogue Paris.

No wonder the luxury brands increasingly want to control their own media. When they want a magazine feature, they can just send it over in a finished state to Vogue France and pay the price for publication. It will be fabulous.

The inspiration behind the fashion shoot includes 1970s sportswear, the colors used by artist Henri Matisse and the style of actor Steve McQueen. Saglio describes the portfolio as “a mix of classic meeting a cool street world.” The team arrived at Hippodrome des Arcades, just outside of Paris.

Van Drimmlen was eager to discover the aging elements of the shuttered racetrack, telling WSJ Magazine: “Those kinds of things I love as a photographer—just discovering these things that magically are so beautiful instead of trying to re-create that yourself. It’s just trying to have an eye for the things that are already there.”
