The images from ‘Photosynthesis’ are included in Le Monde Hermes n°81, Maybe’s second issue conceived as a collection of notes, photographs and illustrations exploring the theme of lightness.
I love the images — which are absolute Hermès perfection — but within the context of Le Monde Hermes, the vibe is younger, more vibrant and casual. Fabulous!
Models Adwoa Aboah, Lina Zhang and Beyoncé Ambrose headline the Chloé FW2022 campaign, styled by Camilla Nickerson. Zoe Ghertner [IG] captures the campaign images.
Gabriela Hearst — unlike McCartney — is committed to using leather in her clothes because her supplier is credentialed by the EU and the leather is sourced from meat industry by-products.
Chloé used only recycled cashmere in her knitted sweaters and skirts. The barren ground on which the models are standing in these images is referencing this concept of overgrazing and a total depletion of the soil.
Adut Akech, Amanda Murphy, Andreea Diaconu, Lina Zhang and Nora Attal power their way through the streets of Manhattan with positive spirits and strong backbones in the Tory Burch Fall 2022 campaign..
Not only does Tory Burch design for the total woman, but she is one with a strong sense of civic responsibility and community involvement. In all honesty, the world doesn’t need another uber-successful young woman looking for her own truth, while having a weep-fest on Instagram.
“Oh, Anne,” you say. “Our young women are just looking for their own authenticity.”
I ask you: Do you know that right-wingers just narrowly won the Swedish election on September 14?
The iconic Cartier Panthère is channeled by ambassadors Jisoo of BLACKPINK and actor Ella Balinska in the new Fall 2022 campaign. Her feline fierceness is also on prominent display in Cartier’s New York Fifth Avenue store.
The Cartier New York renovation channels organic parts of the city — its parks — by introducing lush green hues into the space, seen in the furnishings throughout and the carpeting that ascends the grand staircase. “I simply think that green represents vegetation, nature,” designer Laura Gonzalez explained. “Fifth Avenue is very close to Central Park, and I needed to include all these elements in the project to create an oasis, a peaceful beacon in between classicism and the building’s history.”

Supermodel Anja Rubik and Ludwig Wilsdorff are the co-stars of Boucheron’s new “Icons” campaign, lensed by David Sims. Both Rubik and Wilsdorff have also become ambassadors for the house.
To have the women leaders of Boucheron celebrate Anja’s bold character on progressive human rights as one that articulates their own brand platform for this iconic high jewelry brand means everything to those of us on the front line of these battles.
It’s good business because every day more women — including wealthy women — understand that we are in the fight of our lives.

After the match, Nike — a Serena sponsor — released the Serena Williams tribute compilation featured here.
Billie Eilish becomes a femme fatale driving the winding roads of the Hollywood Hills for Gucci Eyewear. Billie puts her foot on the gas, encountering her twin car in pink coming close to her.
Is Billie in danger? We’re on pins and needles with faux fear. Harley Weir [IG] directs the film, with art direction by Lina Kutsovskaya. And, of course, Gucci’s Alessandro Michele is always the conductor of the ensemble.
Over the course of my life, there are perhaps 7-10 dreams that have rocked my world.
I don’t honestly believe that Beyoncé, Tiffany & Co, Alessandro Michele, Gucci, Billie Eilish and Anne Enke are travelling on the same moonbeam — but one never knows.
Polo Ralph Lauren shares its Fall 2022 campaign with models Devi Rae, Mathilda Gvarliani and Najiyah Imani. Ralph Lauren’s Jack Becht is creative director with images by Alasdair McLellan [IG].
The entire Ralph Lauren business is working on ways to communicate its values in our larger society and culture for over a decade.with an acknowledgment that human connections must be part of the Ralph Lauren DNA.
Today Ralph Lauren views itself as a change agent in solving problems and also embracing the complexity of the real American experience and history for different groups of people.
Beyoncé returns to Tiffany & Co, starring in the global luxury brand’s newest campaign, ‘Lose Yourself in Love,’ which is all about “celebrating individuality, love, and universal connection.” The campaign is “a fiercely elegant homage to the joy of being one’s unapologetic self.”
Beyoncé is “honored to explore even deeper how beautiful our connections are, when we truly celebrate the relationship and importance of love that we have for ourselves as individuals.” This form of self-love — so often ridiculed as being selfish and self-obsessed — is key to forming thriving relationships with other people.
Models Lara Mullen, Lassina Karamoko and Mika Schneider pose in one of Fall 2022’s most delightful campaigns: Hermès. Up on Hermès’ roof, the collections of objects come to life and scarves flutter in the wind, for an airy, carefree afternoon.
The trio are styled by Charlotte Collet in images by Arnaud Lajeunie. Photographer Hans Neumann shoots the video and also stills focused more on the home and gifts collection.
In the campaign marketing text, Graff made a word salad describing Night Moon, Graff Gateway and New Dawn groups in the collection in this way:
“From a poetic spark of inspiration to a magnificent collection of jewels that speak to the soul about the eternal beauty of nature, the Tribal collection captures the essence of what it is to be human.”
These words perhaps better describe modern life in South Africa’s Atlantis Dunes, where extreme adventure sports including sandboarding define the landscape. Had Graff wanted to speak to the Tribal collection’s capturing the essence of what it is to be human”, the campaign would have been shot 15 hours away by car in at the Sterkfontein Caves, at a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Cradle of Humankind.

Yesterday, Ukraine sought UNESCO cultural protection for Odessa. “Russian forces have advanced to within several dozen kilometres (miles) of the city, which blossomed after empress Catherine the Great decreed in the late 18th century that it would be Russia's modern gateway to the Black Sea.” See also the NYT August article Odesa Is Defiant. It’s Also Putin’s Ultimate Target.
