Taylor Hill Poses in Zara SS 2022 Swimsuits with Many JOIN LIFE Choices AOC Fashion

Top model Taylor Hill has always stressed the importance of eating healthy and frequent exercise in maintaining a good attitude about daily life. In Taylor’s case, that includes taking her beloved dog into the swimming pool — giving us all something to smile about.

Today Taylor Hill hits the surf in Zara’s Spring/Summer 2022 swimsuits, with one-piece styles taking center stage. Strapless designs, cut-out details, and halter necklines run free with nature, in a Zara swimsuit collection carrying many choices with the JOIN LIFE label.

Cara Delevingne Activist Talent Fronts 7 For All Mankind Spring Summer 2022 Campaign

Cara Delevingne Activist Talent Fronts 7 For All Mankind Spring Summer 2022 Campaign AOC Fashion

7 For All Mankind premium denim brand joins forces with British actor, activist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and model Cara Delevingne for its Spring Summer 2022 campaign.

“Denim is a fantastic, enduring style statement and an essential part of how I express my style,” says Delevingne.

7 For All Mankind Sustainability Update

The brand maintains an extensive website update on their progress in sustainability, with the stated goal that 80% of 7 For All Mankind products will have sustainable properties by 2023. Note that AOC hates this statement, because it can be interpreted quite loosely. Other premium denim brands that AOC covers are further along on their sustainability mission. However, honesty is the best policy in this journey and 7 For All Mankind appears direct and honest about what they have achieved and what they haven’t in their newest update.

Cara Delevingne and the Cara Delevingne Foundation

Cara Delevingne has an extensive list of activist and philanthropy projects. Cara and her friend Christabel Reed have launched a powerful campaign to end climate change called EcoResolution. The website is impressive.

In a current project the actor will play a daredevil climber in ‘The Climb’, the story of six ordinary women who join a Greenpeace-led protest against Shell Oil’s plans to drill in the Arctic. The activists climbed the Shard, the tapered glass tower next to London Bridge station in 2013. The Shard remains remains the tallest building in the UK and the seventh-tallest building in Europe. Read the original story on The Guardian and a pic of the Shard climbers on Greenpeace UK Twitter.

Also related to the environment and saving our planet is Project Zero. Cara has created unique designs and content for Project Zero to help raise funds and awareness for the ocean.

She is actively involved in the Elton John AIDS Foundation to fund “frontline partners to prevent infections, fight stigma and provide treatment with love, compassion and dignity for the most vulnerable groups affected by HIV around the world”.

In the case of Cara Delevingne, the activism list goes on and on. Read more: Cara Delevingne Activist Talent Fronts 7 For All Mankind Spring Summer 2022 Campaign

AOC has always been driven by color and — yes — there’s plenty of black in my real-world closet. This is a key reason why photographer Elizaveta Porodina’s technical style intrigues me, and especially now in this growing discussion of dopamine dressing.

Chanel Sends "A Certain Notion of Femininity" with Spring 2022 Campaign

Chanel Sends "A Certain Notion of Femininity" with Spring 2022 Campaign AOC Fashion

Like so much of fashion branding, the CHANEL spring 2022 campaign evokes a world far different than the one we’re living in. It begs the question, though, about the world of the Chanel customer and whether events like rising autocracy and now Putin’s war on Ukraine impacts them at all. Do they even care?

Vivienne Rohner is center stage in images by Inez & Vinoodh [IG].

In the words of CHANEL

The campaign for the CHANEL Spring-Summer 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection is an ode to youth whose nonchalant grace resonates with the endless days of summer. Within the discreet charm of a villa in Provence, Inez & Vinoodh [IG] capture the model Vivienne Rohner and through her a certain notion of femininity.

My advice to Chanel is to proceed carefully with this “nonchalant grace” and a “certain notion of femininity” attitude.

A nuclear plant is on fire in Ukraine, started by Russian forces on March 3, ordered to action by Vladimir Putin. Russia’s autocrat is threatening nuclear attacks on the rest of the world. Ukraine’s citizens are suffering heroically, as they fight for democracy and hold a torch of light that is inspiring nations to action worldwide.

Gucci Love Parade Campaign Spring 2022 by Mert & Marcus in Hollywood

Gucci Love Parade Campaign Spring 2022 by Mert & Marcus in Hollywood AOC Fashion

Glamorous decadence defines Gucci’s Spring 2022 ‘Love Parade’ campaign lensed by Mert & Marcus [[G] AOC only misses Martha Stewart, who would have been a superb addition to the lineup.

After Martha jetted to LA for the Super Bowl, hosting the Puppy Bowl with her bestie Snoop Dogg, well she is sorely missed by us in this Hollywood extravaganza. We’re not sure this is a “chic Hollywood party”, given that food fights might break out any second among Miley Cyrus, Liu Wen, Beanie Feldstein, Tess McMillan, Jared Leto Jungjae Lee, Deng Lun and surely more.
