Brunello Cucinelli BC Duo Bag Campaign Shares a New Vision for a Feminine Ideal
The Brunello Cucinelli fashion business is built on the Italian values of humanism — a philosophy that AOC embraces fully now and always in my life. I am now clear in my own mind what other Italian-origin forces exist in opposition to humanism and are running wild across the US federal government.
I keep reading about alleged brilliance at work, but these beliefs run scarily close to the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who published the "Manifesto of Futurism" in 1909.
AOC first wrote about the Manifesto in the 2016 Democratic primary, and it’s now thriving in the Trump administration, where it unites the far left and far right far closer than we want to admit.
The house’s ‘BC Duo’ handbag represents a bit of a torch-passing moment, as the first bag to be designed by the Cucinelli daughters. The softly-structured tote might be the quintessential ‘ladies’ bag, especially the largest of the four sizes, which appeals to our own ‘throw in anything I might need today’ mentality.
Models Rim Tekle and Tara Halliwell together symbolize the purity of the feminine ideal in Brunello Cucinelli’s world. I will leave that statement hanging to give it oxygen, rather than death by asphyxiation. ~ Anne

The color hues are delicious: chocolate, mustard, pistachio and fuchsia.

Hermès’ creative director of women's ready-to-wear Nadège Vanhée expressed a not-often used phrase to describe her approach to the Spring 2025 season: “What I want to convey as the message is the idea of an assertive sensuality,” she said. “You know, it’s about the summer, a feel-good summer, and, really, this relationship you have with your skin.”

Tod's Emerging Talent 'Italian Diaries' Campaign for Gommino Driving Shoe
Tod’s unveils Italian Diaries, a campaign that honors the brand’s legendary Gommino driving shoe, embraced by five emerging talents with rich artistic backgrounds: actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta, musician Lennon Gallagher, writer and director Stella Banderas, model and artist Roberto Rossellini, and singer and actor Leo Gassmann.
Set at Villa Talamo amidst the stunning, ancient Tuscan scenery, photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG], shoots the campaign in black and white, while the Gomminos breakout in full-color images on social media and the Tod’s website.
As a symbol of Italian culture and craftsmanship, one that represents Tod’s expertise and attention to small details, the luxury brand is part of a larger renaissance of the Italian story, one that AOC is studying in great detail.
How do we create cultures that thrive for centuries — even with an egotistical madman at the wheel and democratic ideals thrown to the curb? We’re about to find out. It’s not as if Italy — and the rest of Europe also — haven’t been down this road before.

/
Anne of Carversville has long-prized elegant packaging as part of the beauty experience. Dior Beauty Riviera summer 2025 delivers for the first time ever, the iconic Toile de Jouy pattern on limited-edition makeup cases and powders.
Surely this packaging belongs in a scene from Deva Cassel’s new Netflix series ‘The Leopard’. Cassel plays the role of Angelica Sedara, amid the 1860s fall of the Sicilian aristocracy, where she enjoys a high-society romance with Prince Tancredi Falconeri, played by actor Saul Nanni.
The summer 2025 Dioriviera release combines beauty’s latest modern technology against the romantic, heart-grabbing emotions of Riviera summers from Cannes to Portofino. They remain an indescribable part of Anne’s life experiences.

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.

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.

Photographer Carin Backoff [IG] captures the couple in a collection that ranges from lace intimates and romantic corsets to shapewear, pajamas and loungewear.
This may be the first time the groom held a white flower bouquet over his groin in an ad campaign. The shot is a cheeky nod to Schwarzenegger’s full-frontal ‘White Lotus’ scene.

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.
