No Damage from Hulu or JAX, Says VS Pink CEO
VS Pink CEO Amy Hauk says that neither the Hulu three-episode docuseries ‘Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons’ nor the summer song by JAX that spent several weeks in the top 100 contributed to the plunge in second-quarter profits. The song was created as a statement about the need for body positivity in the world of Victoria’s Secret’s negative influence on young women’s bodies at the hands of an old man [men].
I refuse to believe that Hauk embraces the “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” adage. That was Epstein’s and Ed Razek’s mantra — and never mine.

Master photographer Nick Knight [IG] is behind the lens, capturing both still images and video for the Givenchy FW 2022 campaign, jointly conceived with Creative Director Matthew M. Williams.
The campaign is absolutely ready for big awards.

“The faces in this season’s campaign really represent what Givenchy means today,” said Williams. “It’s a uniquely eclectic group: each model is an icon in their own right”

/
Photographer Théo de Gueltzl [IG] creates exquisite images for Hermès in a an intimate, nature-bound fashion story called ‘Photosynthesis’. Imruh Asha [IG] — who is also working with Pucci — styles models Awar Odhiang and Felice Noordhoff.
The images from ‘Photosynthesis’ are included in Le Monde Hermes n°81, Maybe’s second issue conceived as a collection of notes, photographs and illustrations exploring the theme of lightness.
I love the images — which are absolute Hermès perfection — but within the context of Le Monde Hermes, the vibe is younger, more vibrant and casual. Fabulous!

/
Models Adwoa Aboah, Lina Zhang and Beyoncé Ambrose headline the Chloé FW2022 campaign, styled by Camilla Nickerson. Zoe Ghertner [IG] captures the campaign images.
Gabriela Hearst — unlike McCartney — is committed to using leather in her clothes because her supplier is credentialed by the EU and the leather is sourced from meat industry by-products.
Chloé used only recycled cashmere in her knitted sweaters and skirts. The barren ground on which the models are standing in these images is referencing this concept of overgrazing and a total depletion of the soil.

/
Adut Akech, Amanda Murphy, Andreea Diaconu, Lina Zhang and Nora Attal power their way through the streets of Manhattan with positive spirits and strong backbones in the Tory Burch Fall 2022 campaign..
Not only does Tory Burch design for the total woman, but she is one with a strong sense of civic responsibility and community involvement. In all honesty, the world doesn’t need another uber-successful young woman looking for her own truth, while having a weep-fest on Instagram.
“Oh, Anne,” you say. “Our young women are just looking for their own authenticity.”
I ask you: Do you know that right-wingers just narrowly won the Swedish election on September 14?

/
The iconic Cartier Panthère is channeled by ambassadors Jisoo of BLACKPINK and actor Ella Balinska in the new Fall 2022 campaign. Her feline fierceness is also on prominent display in Cartier’s New York Fifth Avenue store.
The Cartier New York renovation channels organic parts of the city — its parks — by introducing lush green hues into the space, seen in the furnishings throughout and the carpeting that ascends the grand staircase. “I simply think that green represents vegetation, nature,” designer Laura Gonzalez explained. “Fifth Avenue is very close to Central Park, and I needed to include all these elements in the project to create an oasis, a peaceful beacon in between classicism and the building’s history.”

/
Supermodel Anja Rubik and Ludwig Wilsdorff are the co-stars of Boucheron’s new “Icons” campaign, lensed by David Sims. Both Rubik and Wilsdorff have also become ambassadors for the house.
To have the women leaders of Boucheron celebrate Anja’s bold character on progressive human rights as one that articulates their own brand platform for this iconic high jewelry brand means everything to those of us on the front line of these battles.
It’s good business because every day more women — including wealthy women — understand that we are in the fight of our lives.

Billie Eilish becomes a femme fatale driving the winding roads of the Hollywood Hills for Gucci Eyewear. Billie puts her foot on the gas, encountering her twin car in pink coming close to her.
Is Billie in danger? We’re on pins and needles with faux fear. Harley Weir [IG] directs the film, with art direction by Lina Kutsovskaya. And, of course, Gucci’s Alessandro Michele is always the conductor of the ensemble.
Over the course of my life, there are perhaps 7-10 dreams that have rocked my world.
I don’t honestly believe that Beyoncé, Tiffany & Co, Alessandro Michele, Gucci, Billie Eilish and Anne Enke are travelling on the same moonbeam — but one never knows.

Beyoncé returns to Tiffany & Co, starring in the global luxury brand’s newest campaign, ‘Lose Yourself in Love,’ which is all about “celebrating individuality, love, and universal connection.” The campaign is “a fiercely elegant homage to the joy of being one’s unapologetic self.”
Beyoncé is “honored to explore even deeper how beautiful our connections are, when we truly celebrate the relationship and importance of love that we have for ourselves as individuals.” This form of self-love — so often ridiculed as being selfish and self-obsessed — is key to forming thriving relationships with other people.
Read MoreRevisit Graff Tribal 2021 Campaign Lensed by Mikael Jansson with Sara Sampaio
/
In the campaign marketing text, Graff made a word salad describing Night Moon, Graff Gateway and New Dawn groups in the collection in this way:
“From a poetic spark of inspiration to a magnificent collection of jewels that speak to the soul about the eternal beauty of nature, the Tribal collection captures the essence of what it is to be human.”
These words perhaps better describe modern life in South Africa’s Atlantis Dunes, where extreme adventure sports including sandboarding define the landscape. Had Graff wanted to speak to the Tribal collection’s capturing the essence of what it is to be human”, the campaign would have been shot 15 hours away by car in at the Sterkfontein Caves, at a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Cradle of Humankind.

Luxury house Balenciaga shares its Winter 2022 campaign with Kim Kardashian making a major impression as the lady in a blue dress, joined by Euphoria actor Alexa Demie, rapper Big Matthew and model Khadim Sock for Demna’s winter collection.
Odesa, the beautiful city in southern Ukraine, was Demna’s displaced family’s first place of refuge. Yesterday, Ukraine sought UNESCO cultural protection for Odessa. “Russian forces have advanced to within several dozen kilometres (miles) of the city, which blossomed after empress Catherine the Great decreed in the late 18th century that it would be Russia's modern gateway to the Black Sea.” See also the NYT August article Odesa Is Defiant. It’s Also Putin’s Ultimate Target.
Read MoreAdidas x Daily Paper Ajax Amsterdam Collab Is So Fire
/
Question: “Anne, why are you reporting on a soccer swap? You don’t follow soccer. You are playing with our minds, Anne.”
Anne’s Answer: Because AOC loves the Dutch as people, and Amsterdam is a very cool place. I’ve been there several times.
Most important is that Ajax Amsterdam just scored their third collab with Adidas x Daily Paper, and AOC LOVES Daily Paper. If Daily Paper loves Ajax Amsterdam, so do we.
AOC believes in logic . . . just like we believe in science. We are not MAGA insurrectionist Reds. AOC is for Blues.

As always — and especially on the subject of a mostly cashmere-driven collection— AOC turned our attention to Loro Piana’s sustainability efforts. Our usual sustainability pit-stop at Good on You was operating just now.

You can follow the 33 year-old former Victoria’s Secret Angel and new mom to Tuulikki Joan, born in February 2021 to Elsa and long-time partner Tom Daly, on @helsastudio.
Hosk is keeping this launch like a quiet ebb. The Scandi beauty has always stressed the importance of sustainability and it would be shocking if she doesn’t create sustainable products.

British luxury brand Alexander McQueen reveals key images from its Fall 2022 campaign, lensed by esteemed photographer Paolo Roversi [IG], who shot the FW 2021 ANEMONES images.
Perhaps I have fallen too far down the rabbit hole into the world of mycelium and psychedelics. Michael Pollan’s new Netflix series ‘How to Change Your mind’ is just smashing. IMO, this entire McQueen campaign is a word salad.
