Actor Whitney Peak Named Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Ambassador
/
Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle Fragrance has a new ambassador — 20-year-old actor Whitney Peak [IG], who now follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Keira Knightly.
The Ugandian-Canadian actor has an existing relationship with Chanel. Peak had a major role in the 2021 HBO Max reboot of the Gossip Girl series, the Apple TV+ series Home Before Dark, the Netflix series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and the Disney+ film Hocus Pocus 2.
The Coco Mademoiselle fragrance and Whitney Peak are a perfect match. Whitney Peak isn’t a shy femme; rather she embraces her bold and carefree side, as expressed in her natural, 2023 Diana Ross hairdo.

When savvy shoppers spend hours on trusted consignment platforms like 1stdibs, The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective looking for a beloved handbag, it’s time for a designer like Marc Jacobs to look to his archives.
The Jessica Stam bag is back, with Stam herself leading the campaign. Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson, Ashanti, and Selma Blair deliver big support in images styled by Alastair McKimm and shot by Harley Weir.

/
Following sister Kim Kardashian’s fantastic Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2023 campaign released last week, Kylie Jenner goes to bat for Dolce & Gabbana Eyewear in a new campaign lensed by Mert & Marcus [IG].
Jenner shared the campaign with her 280m IG followers. That’s called reach!
As for the Kardashian women being cheap, I’m sure that Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce have paid a premium price for their prior insults against the family. Given the full range of their business savvy, the Kardashian women know their worth.
It wouldn’t surprised me if Mama Bear Kris Jenner added a 3-5 years, 5-10% penalty to the contract, right before their disbelieving eyes.
Cuz that’s how the Kardashian women roll, and AOC admires them for their moxie.

/
South Korean ‘Squid Game’ actor and Louis Vuitton ambassador Hoyeon Jung plays with scale in the Spring 2023 campaign.
Jung just booked another very important beauty ambassador role with Lancôme.
The campaign is fast and young — more than usual. The playhouse structure is modeled after Louis Vuitton’s historic home in Asnieres, located on the left bank of the river Seine, some eight kilometres from the center of Paris.
Today the home is called ‘La Galerie’, and it functions as a permanent exhibition space for Louis Vuitton.
The rest of the cast includes Elio Berenett, Franzisla Jetzek, Greta Oberwalleney, Killian Smits, Sarah Brown and Samile Bermannelli.
Frequent LV photographer David Sims [IG] is behind the lens, with styling by Marie-Amelie Sauve.

Grace Jones is now age-74, and her age-defying figure struts into the limelight as the new face for luxury lingerie brand Wolford.
Appearing in images by Richard Phibbs [IG] that define the word ‘fierce’, sporting the stretchy, body-clinging Fatal ‘quick change artist’ dress.
On Grace Jones, the Fatal dress is human sculpture in motion. The length of the dress can be altered and transformed into a skirt or even a top.

/
The LOEWE Spring Summer 2023 women's campaign, shot by David Sims [IG], features LOEWE Global Brand Ambassador Taylor Russell posing as a form of acting.
A theme throughout the LOEWE Spring 2023 season, beginning with the late September 30, 2022 fashion show is artifice and provocation.
LOEWE’s enormously-talented creative director Jonathan Anderson took his audience on a modern, almost clinical journey into the natural world, with anthurium flowers as his guide.
Enter the Anthuriums
This ‘non-threatening’majority-view flower is the perfect hospitality gift, even for someone you don’t know well.
These modern flowers look like an erect phallus penetrating a flower that is in fact poisonous. Not only with pets but in the human mouth, you will experience a painful burning sensation with blisters and swelling if you eat an anthurium.
In this LOEWE Spring 2023 Campaign, Taylor Russell wears anthuriums as a breast plate. There’s a lot of human psychology going on here.

With all the talk about celebrity fashion sightings replacing models, it’s worth remembering that it was Gianni Versace, who founded the luxury house in 1978, who had a big passion for grandiose spectacles with marketing campaigns to match.

Adut Akech, Imaan Hammam, Candice Huffine, Devyn Garcia, Jill Kortleve, Paloma Elsesser, and Taylor Hill pose against the eternally sensual landscape of Italy in one half of the Victoria’s Secret Bras, That’s Our Thing 2023 campaign.
The campaign crosses the entire range of VS bras including the Very Sexy Bombshell Push-Up, Dream Angels Demi Bra, VS Bare Sexy Illusions Uplift Strapless Bra, and VS Bare Infinity Flex Full Coverage Bra.
Photographer Angelo Pennetta captures the true beauty of VS lingerie [IG] styled by Alex White.
Read MoreMax Mara Spring 2023 Collection with Adut, Annemary, Dara by Ethan James Green
/
Max Mara’s Spring-Summer 2023 campaign has sophisticated swagger. Models trio Adut Akech, Annemary Aderibigbe and Dara Allen step it up to remind us that they are far more than muses or mannequins. Fashion editor Tonne Goodman styles the shoot — a collection of sophisticated essentials with discreet details that she herself would wear — in images photographed by Ethan James Green.
Looking at the images immediately took me back to December 2018, when former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi exited a tough meeting with then president Donald Trump.
The shot of Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer leaving a hard-as-nails meeting with Trump went viral, generating such digital heat that Max Mara creative director Ian Griffiths responded that the coat would be reissued.
AOC has always liked Ian Griffiths because he’s a male designer willing to explore his own contradictions. He does just that in speaking about the 2023 campaign inspired by the French Riviera. Griffiths has not been caught up in trying to make women ‘its’ or ‘theys’, degendering us in such a way that the very concept of women’s rights is no longer necessary. We’re all humans, no need to discuss the failure of mostly — but not exclusively — men to acknowledge women’s inequality.

/
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’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.

The New York Times profiled Maximilian Davis, Salvatore Ferragamo’s new young Black designer, last fall. The emerging designer dropped out of the 2022 LVMH Prize for young designer competition to take the Ferragamo position.
Photographer Rafael Pavarotti [IG] shoots the models in Ferragamo’s updated-hues studio with art direction by Edward Quarmby and styling by Mavi Staiano.

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.
