Meet the Ballbreakers: 'Corporate Cosplay' Is Serious Business for H&M
The Zara ‘Corporate Cosplay S/S 2025’ drop for H&M, lensed Carlijn Jacobs [IG] captures the sophisticated, powerful approach to corporate dressing very popular in the 1980s.
Post-2024 election analysis shows that the biggest gulf in American politics lies between white, college-degree women and non-college degree white men. Never has a canyon like this one been so extreme.
Testosterone-dominance is fundamental to the American experience, although women had made significant progress for decades in creating a wider platform for success. In 2025, with bro culture ascending again in America, our future is filled with peril.
We were then and still are called ballbreakers, a woman, whose character and behavior may be regarded as threatening a man's sense of power. AOC has called for the rising of True Grit Women, and we are fearless ballbreakers.
Contemporary ballbreakers include Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Gretchen Whitmer, Jasmine Crockett, and Nancy Pelosi. In my camp: WE NEED TO HUSTLE!

The Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Campaign Is One Young Americans Can Trust
Last September, New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 opened in a rather surprising location, casually called the East End by New Yorkers.
It was a quintessential Ralph Lauren experience — an ultimate, middle class guy makes good, American experience. They are in short supply these days, but Ralph Lauren should start a young mens academy for today’s young men so impacted by him.
In Virginia, Ralph Is the Man
After the disappointing 2024 presidential election in America, I cast my focus to work with young men in Virginia, who had voted for Trump. The group can be mixed, but it must have young male Trump voters.
For those young men — Latino, Black and White — Ralph Lauren is their hero. A mix of college men and young business owners, they stunned me with their breath of knowledge about marketing. They also know Louis Vuitton inside out, and Pharrell’s role there.

‘Acqua Fiuggi: Loved by Vogue’ Reinvention Campaign Taps Elizaveta Porodina
Acqua Fiuggi: Loved by Vogue’, lensed by Elizaveta Porodina [IG], is a high-profile reinvention campaign, with ancient DNA. The portfolio of top luxury brands like Prada or Louis Vuitton don’t really need Condé Nast, as much as Vogue’s parent needs them.
That’s not the case for Acqua Fiuggi, a brand of bottled water repositioning itself as part of the wellness business sector.
Gut health was probably not on the menu at the ‘Acqua Fiuggi Loved by Vogue’ dinner photocall at Biocca Hangar during Milan Fashion Week. Nor was the fact that six years ago, Acqua Fiuggi’s owners were in the Frosinone Bankruptcy Court.

Designer Marc Jacobs introduced his hotter-than-Hades campaign for his new fragrance ‘Decadence’ in fall 2015. AOC discovered it last week as part of our Pre-2020 Post Renewal project at AOC.
Absolutely one of the most sensual models in history, Adriana Lima torches the campaign video, with moves that might seem a bit ‘forced’ today. But Lima is hotter than Hades under the creative talents of Steven Meisel. This video is a reminder of just how much fashion world has turned down the volume.

Supermodel Adriana Lima is back in the spotlight — a vivid, hot pink style statement — for Marc Jacobs, who teamed up with the Stephen Sprouse estate.
Marc Jacobs and Stephen Sprouse go way back, all the way back to Jacobs’ years at Louis Vuitton. Their collabs have always rained money.
The new bag is hot and sexy, just perfect for Adriana Lima’s new-bride status. Like Stephen Sprouse X Marc Jacobs [IG] wanting to run another relay, Lima is up for the challenge, too.

Chloé shares portrait of nine models — well-known and new — who walked the F/W 2025 show, and are lensed by Inez and Vinoodh [IG] wearing key design looks for fall, fresh off the runway.
Australian model Libby Taverner [above] opened the Chloé F/W 2025 show with creative director Chemena Kamali drawn to “a feeling of Britishness, old aristocracy — she’s in her castle” in the company of “cherished historical” Victorian jackets and great-granny’s fur stoles which are all the rage right now.
Dare we call it Bloomberg glamour? Jazz Age — British style? “They’re pieces that I’d want to give to my daughter—heirlooms,” was the designer’s word choice.
Besides Libby Taverner, models include Ava Shipp, Awar Odhiang, Binx Walton, Eniko Mihalik, Jacqui Hooper, Maelle Swaelens, Meghan Collison and Zhao Ziqi. Elodie David Touboul styled the Chloé Portraits photoshoot with hair by Gary Gill and makeup by Karin Westerlund.

It was announced days ago that OTB-owned brand Jil Sander has named Simone Bellotti as its new creative director. He arrives from Bally where the creative injected a well-received hit of adrenalin in his short tenure with the brand.
Serge Brunschwig, previously chairman and chief executive officer of Fendi, who exited the Rome-based luxury company last May and parent LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton in February, was then named CEO of Jil Sander, succeeding Luca Lo Curzio.

RIMOWA x GEWA Trumpet Case Collab
RIMOWA delivers again in this cooly-beautiful collaboration with historic German brand GEWA — first founded in 1925 in Adorf, and today a leading designer and manufacturer of world-class musical instruments.
The limited-edition piece represents more than just functional luxury. The result is a masterfully-crafted case that protects not only the instruments it carries, but also the artistry of its musicians.
Humanist Brand Values
AOC has long complimented RIMOWA for its embrace of cultural creatives values. We’re changing our vocab going forward, to speak more simply.
Today, we compliment RIMOWA as a brand with humanist values. AOC speaks separately to the Oaxaca women horn players film timed with this collab.

Tory Burch SS 2025 Campaign Claims the Power of Destiny and the Sporting Life
American brand Tory Burch releases her Spring Summer 2025 campaign, a collection of images infused with an elegant athleticism starring Ida Heiner, Irina Shayk and Mona Tougaard. Photographer Jamie Hawkesworth [IG] captures the trio in Paris posing in a track and field gymnastics facility.
Ida Heiner wears the new Tory Burch Destiny trainer, as further evidence of the growing influence of sport for the brand.
Tory Burch Destiny Trainer
Described as a “retro running sneaker inspired by the spirit of a good challenge”, Tory Burch’s Destiny Trainer is well-named in the spirit of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Led by Louis Vuitton — a key sponsor of the summer games — the symbolism of the Olympics, and the extraordinary journeys that athletes take to reach them, closely align with the values at the heart of the French luxury fashion house, its chairman Bernard Arnault and CEO Pietro Beccari.
Reality is that LVMH, including Louis Vuitton, and Tory Burch are sort of ‘kissing cousins’.
