Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls Front VS Bombshell Fragrance Campaign by Zoey Grossman
Top models Irina Shayk and Joan Smalls link arms to promote Victoria’s Secret’s ‘Bombshell’ fragrance. Zoey Grossman captures the duo who also had creative input on the shoot.
“We really gave a piece of ourselves to this campaign: It’s me being me, and Joan being Joan,” Irina says about the shoot about ‘Bombshell’ and its mouth-watering fragrance notes of Shagri-la Peony, Purple Passionfruit, and Vanilla Orchid.
So, ladies. Is Bombshell your fragrance now? On a positive note, from what I understand, half of Joan Smalls’ personal share of her fee for the Bombshell shoot will support Black Lives Matter organizations for the rest of 2020. And THAT is a good move, Joan.

Wisdom is the founder of Health in Her Hue, a platform that connects black women to culturally competent health-care providers. Ke’alohilani Quiamno, founder of Future for Us, a civic organization that gives women of color the tools to succeed in the highest levels of corporate and social-sector careers.

"I co-founded Reddit 15 years ago to help people find community and a sense of belonging," Ohanian wrote across his social media channels, pulling from a blog post on his site. "It is long overdue to do the right thing. I'm doing this for me, for my family, and for my country."

Gucci Launches #SODEERTOME Pre-Fall 2020 Campaign Lensed by Alasdair McLellan
Gucci releases a beauty of a pre-Fall 2020 campaign, — ‘So Deer to Me’ — grounded in the “retrieved innocence” of nature. Photographer Alasdair McLellan shoots a series of “fairytale animals” including deer and fawns, rabbits, owls, skunks, squirrels, frogs, hedgehogs and ducks that create an imagined escape from today’s COVID-19 world. Art director Christopher Simmonds and Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele create a much-needed respite from reality and the deeply-seeded fears of young people, who struggle to be optimistic about their own futures.
According to Gucci, McLellan’s images form “a call for a real engagement with nature and, with that, with life”. Models channeling this experience include Akito Mizutani, Azu Nwogu, Gret Mateides, Katie Johnson, Nastya Kharina, and Xie Chaoyu, styled by Jonathan Kaye./ Hair by Paul Hanlon; makeup b Thomas De Kluyver
To further that experience, Gucci announced a collab with The Lion’s Share Fund, an initiative that enables businesses to raise funds for wildlife and habitat conservation, endangered species and animal welfare.. In its press release, Gucci explained: “By donating 0.5 per cent of its media spend every time an animal is featured in advertisements, as all the partners involved in The Lion’s Share Fund do, Gucci can give ongoing contributions to drive tangible on the ground results for this urgent cause.”
In support of the significant initiative, Gucci has posted a series of clips from 2017 documentary Richmond Park: National Nature Reserve, presented by David Attenborough and directed by George Chan, on Instagram.

Actor Jennifer Lawrence returns to Dior’s pre-fall 2020 campaign in a series of ladylike glamour images that emphasize the perfection of craft over trends. Creative director Maria Grazia Chuiri’s designs evoke Dior-s post-WWII elegance in portraits by Brigitte Niedermair.

Too rarefied in 2020, you ask? Hardly, as fashion plunges into a reflection on our own values as consumers and as an industry — staring in the face of a global depression.
