Dior Men's Summer 2023 Campaign Is a Rich Adventure for Garden Lovers

Dior Men's Summer 2023 Campaign Is a Rich Adventure for Garden Lovers

Dior Men’s Kim Jones once again joined France and England in a celebration of flowers and gardening in his Summer 2023 campaign.

Jones united his beloved, Bloomsbury, free-spirit artists with their equally free-spirit lifestyles on the English side of the channel to Christian Dior’s seaside childhood home in Granville, Normandy.

In choosing the work and life of Duncan Grant, a British post-impressionist, Bloomsbury painter who shares a birthday with Christian Dior, the artistic synergy is further intertwined between England and France.

These campaign images by Rafael Pavarotti [IG] are like fine champagne. The talented photographer is at ease swinging from a highly-stylized, Erdem-inspired, vintage garden with dark undertones campaign to these images that are crisp and modern, imbued with a cleaner and lighter garden vibe.

Kendall Jenner Channels Venus | Jean Paul Gaultier Loves His Ancient Muses

British Vogue reports that Kendall Jenner has added a new piece of vintage Jean Paul Gaultier to her vast collection. The prize fashion acquisition is an archival Venus De Milo halter neck dress from the spring/summer 1999 collection, sourced through Opulent Addict.

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier has long been inspired by mythology, ancient religious rites and muses.

The ‘Venus de Milo’ statue now lives armless at the Louvre in Paris, on display permanently after being discovered on the island of Milos, Greece in 1820. Scholars believe that the statue was created during the Helenistic period, sometime between 150 and 125 BC by Alexandros of Antioch.

Louis Vuitton SS2023 Capucine Campaign Teaches Us Kintsugi with Lea Seydoux

Louis Vuitton SS2023 Capucine Campaign Teaches Us Kintsugi with Lea Seydoux

Louis Vuitton’s Capucine bag heads into its second decade, showcased for Spring/Summer 2023 by maison ambassador Lea Seydoux.

In this moment of so many challenges central to our lives, the Spring 2023 Capucine bag with a handle made using the ancient Japanese Kintsugi technique may be the most special.

Seriously, can the handle of a Louis Vuitton Capucine bag teach us a life lesson?

In an throwaway, one and done, age of mass production and reckless disposal, ‘kintsugi’ is not only focused on repairing our favorite chipped vessels.

Now we learn that ‘kintsugi’ is also a way of crafting — even mending — our lives. It’s very Zen and challenges humans to consider the contemplation of imperfection, as well as the constant flux and impermanence of all things.

Kim Kardashian Burns Down the Italian Villa in Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2023 Campaign

Kim Kardashian deepens her relationship with Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana, fronting the deeply sensual Spring 2023 campaign lensed by Mert & Marcus [IG].

Jack Borkett and Dani Levi style Kim in these blistering hot images. Kim’s hair is by close friend Chris Appleton; makeup by Ariel.

The haters will take jabs at KK but I think she looks and performs spectacularly. AOC is not interested in anybody’s opinions about what model could have done a better job.

Whatever one thinks about Kim Kardashian, the world knows her as a sexy and beautiful woman, as a genuinely-devoted mother, and as a business tycoon who has built an uber-successful $3.2 billionaire SKIMMS brand, which could soon rival the crippled Victoria’s Secret.
