Artist Maria Muldaur sang about an empowered sensual woman in the 1973 more likely on the road in Marrakech than Mexico in the classic tune.
Aware or not, VS is also channeling the sensual, political activist feminist Frida Kahlo in this deeply political and threatening moment for American feminism. As Republicans wage a full-throttle assault on women’s rights in America, perhaps Frida Kahlo is guiding them subliminally.

Legendary 1990s supermodel Kate Moss was recently named the new creative director of Diet Coke. The brand says it tapped her for her “unique aesthetic and style”, a heritage Moss owned as she delivered four limited edition cans of Diet Coke in London this week.
ES Magazine editor Ben Cobb visited Kate in at her west London home.
LOL. Kate Moss is a good little woman, though. Or perhaps Cobb is really special. “during our chat, she keeps my glass of water filled with ice, running back to an American-sized fridge” . .
Yes, yes . . . there’s plenty of Diet Coke in the refrigerator. Cobb spies it chilling there. Wait . . . oh wait . . . Kate Moss “struggles to open the door.” LOL. How old is this guy? I expect him to jump up and save Kate from the big, bad fridge any minute. She is a real-deal damsel in distress.

In the world of bags, the luxury buyer has many to choose from. I chose these two brands — Golden Goose and Celine — not for the cool factor, but to speak to their brand DNA. Reality is that when one is spending many hundreds or thousands of dollars for a bag or leather accessory, the 2022 customer is more eager than ever before to know the story behind the brand, the ethics and sustainability initiatives employed by the owners, and how the brand reflects us — the buyers.

/
Creative Director of Hermès Jewelry Pierre Hardy discusses House’s latest high jewelry collection ‘Les Jeux de L’ombre’, created by Hardy to give “form to the elusive”. It relates the movement of shadow and its relationship with light, and the contrasts that connect them..
Such a cerebral concept requires an equally conceptual photographer with an inner vision and signature technique to translate Hardy’s splendid jewelry pieces beyond their origins in a study of Caravaggio’s painting techniques and his chiaroscuros.
Elizaveta Porodina [IG] quickly emerged as the perfect photographer to create a totally-modern, 21st century visual dialogue around the new collection, modeled by Alyda Grace. Victoire Simonney styled the Hermes ad campaign with set design by Sophear Van Froment.
