Top model Paulina Porizkova [IG], age 60, has led a very public, digital life in recent years — even getting dressed in the morning on Instagram Live. Porizkova is engaged and shares a podcast with writer Jeff Greenstein, showrunner for the once very popular ‘Will and Grace’ weekly TV show.
Porizkova prides herself — just like Pamela Anderson — in being photographed without makeup for unretouched photos. When she does wear makeup — or appear in images with retouching — Porizkova requires a light touch.

We appreciate him for that gesture.

On the subject of Fendi, with Silvia Venturini Fendi being named honorary president and allowing a new creative director to take the reins of the Fendi luxury brand, AOC assumes that Maria Grazia Chiuri will step into the spotlight as the new creative head of women’s and probably men’s as well.
I’ve defended the Anderson decision when other women fashion writers were ripping into LVMH — going so far out on the limb as to say on WaPo: “Calm down. She’s going to Fendi. LVMH is not so stupid as to throw Chiuri to the curb, when some VIP women clients may not even like the new Dior.”

With Memorial Day celebrating the official start of summer in America this weekend, seeing Diaconu for Numéro summer issue, it’s impossible not to recollect her Vogue Paris sizzling summer stories. They were scorching and a reminder of how significantly fashion has turned down the sexy volume in the last decade. Take a look.

Isabeli is styled by Caterina Ospina Buitrago in Balenciaga, BCBGMAXAZRIA [3 images], Ferragamo, Michael Kors, Sportmax, YSL and more, accented with Swarovski Jewelry.
