It was announced days ago that OTB-owned brand Jil Sander has named Simone Bellotti as its new creative director. He arrives from Bally where the creative injected a well-received hit of adrenalin in his short tenure with the brand.

Serge Brunschwig, previously chairman and chief executive officer of Fendi, who exited the Rome-based luxury company last May and parent LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton in February, was then named CEO of Jil Sander, succeeding Luca Lo Curzio.

Pucci Spring 2024 Campaign with Vittoria Ceretti | House Update

Pucci Spring 2024 Campaign with Vittoria Ceretti | House Update

The watery effect of Pucci’s heritage Vivara print takes the stage in a new Spring 2024 campaign headlined by Vittoria Ceretti and captured by Mario Sorrenti [IG] at Villa L’Alma near Milan.

Pucci Artistic Director Camille Miceli has invited us to Rome on April 4 to view Vivara in action as "one of the house's most iconic prints, dating back to 1965 and featured in all the archives."

To many of us, Pucci is an absolute jewel, with speculation-only 2023 revenue of $100m. If any group can nurture her to Pucci’s maximum potential, it’s LVMH.

Previously working under LVMH’s Sidney Toledano as the chief executive of smaller brands like Celine and Fendi, Camille Micelli at Pucci — along with Belgian fashion executive Saar Debrouwere as Pucci CEO — will operate under the guidance of Michael Burke, who recently took the helm from Toledano.

I dig deeply into the LVMH approach to developing talent in the Michael Burke link above.

Adele Covers ELLE US and UK September with 5-Stars, Real-Deal Adele Interview

Adele Covers ELLE US and UK September with 5-Stars, Real-Deal Adele Interview

Successful women like Beyonce, Serena just last week in Vogue US, and Adele are more likely to write their own magazine essays these days — and for good reason. It’s the only way they can guarantee that their main points are in the headlines, and not dead on the editorial floor in a world of clickbait.

Adele doesn’t control her cover story interview with Emma Carmichael in the September 2022 issue of ELLE US. Of course, we don’t know the terms of her exchange with Carmichael and signoffs before the interview went to press. It’s stands as a masterpiece, in AOC’s opinion.

ELLE chose the clickbait quote for IG — and we promise you that it will become big headline, even though Adele shares these thoughts at the end of the ELLE narrative. AOC won’t call it out this minute, feeding it oxygen in an a rich, deeply-personal and articulate interview that is primary about Adele as an artist, her relationship with fans, the agony of walking away from her Las Vegas residency in 2021, days before its launch.
