Fashion world got a major wakeup this morning with a preview of the January 2023 Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama campaign.
Yayoi Kusama, Age 93, Rolls Again with Louis Vuitton
LV makes a big move putting Gisele Bundchen front and center in a second, historical collaboration with revered Japanese creative Yayoi Kusama, one of the world’s pre-eminent artists at age 93.
“One of the aspects of her [Yayoi Kusama’s] work is happiness, and we thought it would be really refreshing after the pandemic to have the worlds of Vuitton and the world of Kusama meet again,” Arnault explained. The successful first collaboration between the two global giants happened in 2012.

Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion at Chanel, spoke openly with Vogue Business that now more than ever business cannot be conducted as it was in a prepandemic world.
AOC adds a pre-George Floyd murder-world as well, and Pavlovsky spoke candidly about Senegal’s reality as a former French colony.
Lying three miles west of Dakar, Gorée Island was the largest slave-trading center on the African coast. “We cannot go to other parts of the world just for 20 minutes. It is not enough. We have to have this dialogue,” the Chanel executive acknowledged.

Elsa Hosk's Launch Campaign for her Helsa Brand, Lensed by Yulia Gorbachenko
/
Supermodel Elsa Hosk looks like she walked out of a 1950s movie, filmed in the south of France. Elsa is wearing tailored must-haves from her new Helsa Collection — created in the mood of Katharine Hepburn and lensed here by Yulia Gorbachenko [IG]
Writing about the debut of Helsa last August, I said: “Hosk is keeping this launch like a quiet ebb. The Scandi beauty has always stressed the importance of sustainability and it would be shocking if she doesn’t create sustainable products.”
Many of the Helsa pieces are made with Recover, a recycled, heavy-duty cotton. Bravo. I love Elsa Hosk with my whole heart, but sustainability is not a strong message in Helsa so far.

Candice was an early user of econyl, a regenerated nylon product introduced in 2011 by Aquafil.
Econyl is made entirely from ocean and landfill waste, such as industrial plastic, fabric scraps from clothing manufacturing companies, old carpets and "ghost nets".
AOC believes that beautiful bodies live on a sustainable planet. We’ve always applauded Candice Swanepoel for building a brand from day 1, with sustainability beating beautifully in its heart.

The Chanel Fine Jewelry Holiday 2022 campaign ‘Once Upon a Moon’ stars Adesuwa Aighewi, Giedre Dukauskaite, Soo Joo Park, Matthew Bell and Reece Nelson as lunar explorers styled by Veronique Didry and lensed by Nicolas Kantor.
Did luxury house Chanel know that America’s Artemis 1 mission was headed to the moon when their holiday campaign ‘Once Upon a Moon’ was released? Probably not, as our Artemis 1 mission roared high into the sky two months behind schedule. Still, the timing ended up being perfect.
The Beauty campaign has the Eiffel Tower lifting off like Artemis, becoming a cool rocket rising into the Parisian night sky.

Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG] captures models Anyiel Majok, Felice Nova Noordhoff, and Malika Louback in the Emilio Pucci Holiday 2022/23 campaign ‘La Famiglia.
Imruh Asha styles a campaign the hugs Camille Miceli’s clear vision that “for me Pucci evokes a family of people spending time together, to enjoy life, parties, and well-being.”
Miceli wants the global enthusiasts, travel-loving, multi-generations Pucci ‘famiglia’ to embrace high-octane, dopamine-dressing as a form of spreading joyful optimism, self-confidence without a tinge of aristocracy [unlike Chanel] and a lust for life that reflects her own lifestyle.

Spanish actor Milena Smit wears all Saint Laurent, styled by Nicolas Klam. Photographer JUANKR [IG] captures the sulty, deeply-personal cover story for Flaunt Magazine December 2022.
Milena Smit recently starred in Pedro Almodóvar’s critically-acclaimed ‘Parallel Mothers’, appearing with Penélope Cruz. A comparative newcomer to acting, Smit received a notice about her audition for a new film, without being told about the pedigrees of her fellow artists.
“And thank god the next audition was the final one with them, because if I had found out at the beginning what movie it was for, I don’t know if I would have done it so well,” Smit told Flaunt magazine.

Read More2023 Gucci Cruise 'Cosmogonie' Campaign Ode to Philosophy Bridging Space & Time
/
AOC had not viewed the 2023 Gucci Cruise Collection Cosmogonie video. Transported emotionally and psychologically by the recent Dior Cruise 2023 show, I am even more impacted by the 2023 Gucci Cruise presentation.
Never has AOC connected so deeply with Gucci’s now-departed creative director Alessandro Michele.
Michele was inspired by the work of Walter Benjamin, a 20th-century, German-Jewish philosopher, cultural critic and essayist.
Benjamin deserves his own AOC post in this moment of the daily drumbeat of hate against progressive thinkers from Donald Trump, Kanye West and many others.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rails against the EU, mass immigration and “LGBT lobbies”, saying her respect for Mussolini should not be feared.
Like Kanye West’s adoration of Hitler, Meloni ‘s fascist crush should be feared. Mum is never the word on AOC. Never!
