Guerlain's Violette Serrat Relaunches G Rouge Lipstick for Paris Lovers

Meet Violette Serrat

French-born Violette Serrat, creative director of makeup for Guerlain since summer 2021, was born and raised in Paris. Serrat understands French women and their love of red lipstick.

Fifteen years after Rouge G’s first Guerlain release, it’s reborn in 40 stunning shades in both velvet-matte and satin finishes. Rouge G is formulated with a new 89 per cent skincare-based formula made with lily oleo extract. Created with lily flowers and paired with sweet almond oil, this complex has smoothing, hydrating and plumping properties and improves the quality of lips worldwide with prolonged wear.

Top faces Natalia Vodianova and Malika El Maslouhi are leading the campaign lensed by Charlotte Wales [IG].

Even the iconic mirrored cases notched up their glam quotient without hurting the environment. Using gold instead of silver, the nine new jewel cases are 19 per cent lighter than before, allowing for a 30 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

A NYT Darling Deserves His Status

Not for the first time, the New York Times Style shares another major feature on Bottega under Matthieu Blazy. In doing so, they advance the hot topic of craft beyond superb execution and often ‘dusty’ heritage into the world of the creative director role itself.

At Bottega Veneta, Blazy champions his craftspeople for their role in the creative process. His is a rare ego in the world of luxury brands.

The Times introduces us to Barbara Zanin, a 26-year veteran of the brand who became Bottega Veneta’s first director of craft and heritage in July.

Miu Miu shares its Holiday 2025 campaign with actor Emma Corrin expressing a boyish insouciance about the holiday, in images captured by Lengua [IG]. Edward Quarmby serves as creative director on the campaign, with styling by Lotta Volkova.

Miu Miu [IG] is riding near cult status among young people in China, as its parent Prada Group reported an 18%, nine-month, year-to-date increase at constant currency. In reported terms, revenue rose 15% placing Prada Group in a positive light navigating China’s economic slowdown in the luxury market and beyond.

Miu Miu’s 2024 Upcycled collection takes a major role in the holiday campaign, a testament to the brand’s commitment to circular design practices. Crafted from re-fashioned deadstock yarn, kilts, and leather, each garment in this limited-edition collection is permeated with a hint of spunk, as the Miu Miu brand explores what it means to be human.

Photographer Elizaveta Porodina[IG] is a perfect choice to capture the essence of the LEVIS X ADSB Fall 2024 collab. British model Evie Harris is styled by Robbie Spencer in Porodina’s fire images.

Sporty & Rich Drops Core Collection October 2024 Faced by Andreea Diaconu

Sporty & Rich Drops Core Collection October 2024 Faced by Andreea Diaconu

Sporty & Rich founder Emily Oberg has dropped her new Core Collection, two months after filing a trademark application for a brand called Sensual Sport.

Top model Andreea Diaconu showcases the Core Collection, lensed by Dudi Hasson [IG].

Oberg isn’t selling a sustainability message for Sporty & Rich — although her approach to fashion itself may be more sustainable. But seeing Diaconu reminded me of her 2023 C2C Certified® cashmere campaign for Ralph Lauren. That campaign is very in sync with Oberg’s Sporty & Rich mindset.

Polo Ralph Lauren FW 2024 'Ralph's New York' Campaign by Lachlan Bailey

Polo Ralph Lauren [IG] returns to home base for its Fall 2024 campaign. New York is the city that launched Ralph and his men’s ties, made by Beau Brummell, in 1967. Menswear followed shortly, launched in 1968.

New York City is deeply embedded in Ralph Lauren’s brand DNA.

All of these sentiments and many more infuse the new Polo Ralph Lauren campaign lensed by Lachlan Bailey [IG], with film produced by Jacob Sutton.

Patriotic Reflections on Dior's Pre-Fall 2024 Americana Tracksuit | Anne Was Wrong

Patriotic Reflections on Dior's Pre-Fall 2024 Americana Tracksuit | Anne Was Wrong

Dior releases new images from the pre-fall 2024 collection, inspired by the brand’s recent mood embracing New York activism of the 1960s.

AOC considers Maria Grazia Chiuri to have platinum grade design and merchandising instincts. But even Anne thought Dior’s stars and stripes ‘tracksuit’ [above] was Chiuri’s rare flat tire, with its unabashed celebration of stars and stripes Americana. Yikes!

Reconsidering that Dior 2024 Stars & Stripes Tracksuit

After watching night one of the Democratic Convention in Chicago on Monday, I was probably dead-wrong. More tears and overt displays of Democratic, Independent and anti-MAGA Republican patriotism were on display last night, than America has seen in years — maybe decades. Tonight should exceed Monday.

Given my recent attitude adjustment, I now see Chiuri’s track suit as perfect for Democrats’ young Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett [IG], who has represented major parts of Dallas since 2023.

After the eloquently hell-raising speech [IG] Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave in Chicago Monday night, AOC would probably wear the Dior Americana tracksuit, too.

So Anne was right-on in her analysis of an American state of mind unknown since 2008 and maybe not even then. WE are taking back patriotism — and with pride. But I was dead wrong with my haughty-woman response to that Dior stars & stripes tracksuit. Good work Dior; please accept my apologies. ~ Anne

Anthropologie 'I Love Antro NYC' Fall 2024 Campaign with Barbara, Devyn, Taylor

Anthropologie 'I Love Antro NYC' Fall 2024 Campaign with Barbara, Devyn, Taylor

If the 2024 US presidential campaign hadn’t been uprooted in the last month, the Anthropologie campaign ‘I Love Antro NYC’ would still be on point.

Models Barbara Palvin, Devyn Garcia, Taylor Hill and scads of New York dogs share an everyday romp around the city.

Photographer Yulia Gorbachenko [IG] is behind the lens, helping Anthropologie continue its winning streak into the fall 2024 season. Anthropologie’s Kyla Flax styles the shoot with creative direction by Chief Creative Officer Jisoo Kang.

Brands With Heart Evoke Emotional Connection

Anthropologie’s brand and store experience have always appealed to our hearts, selling clothes that carried love into our closets. Now — for the first time in AOC’s memory — there is a massive wild card entering the advertising and marketing space.

It’s centered on Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate ‘Coach’ Tim Walz. It speaks to joy, love and an overwhelming connection to our best-selves as voters and as the American people.
