Naomi Campbell's New Daughter British Vogue Cover by Steven Meisel Is Most IG Liked Ever

In May 2021, supermodel Naomi Campbell welcomed her first child, a daughter whose name will be revealed in Campbell’s upcoming book — that isn’t written yet.

Now nine-months old, the little one made her global fashion debut in the flesh, joining mom on the cover of British Vogue’s March 2022 issue.

“She loves the light," Naomi said about the British Vogue cover fashion shoot. "She’s inquisitive. She was looking at everyone – she looks at people right in the eye and for a very long time. She was taking it all in."

In her interview with Sarah Harris, Naomi explains that her daughter is a total “trooper”, who already has six teeth and all without a whimper. “She’s a good girl: she sleeps very well, she hardly ever cries and I’m told she’s very alert for her age. She’s just started waving, which is fun. She laughs a lot. She’s almost talking,” she says, adding, “I think she might walk before she crawls.”

On social media, the cover was the most liked cover of all time on British Vogue's Instagram account. In our world of social media millions, Naomi’s cover has 538,000 likes as of Saturday morning, Feb. 19.

Hailey Bieber Strides into WSJ Magazine to Talk Rhode, Her New Skincare Brand

Hailey Bieber is here to talk about Rhode, her new skin-care brand launching this fall. She’s not here to talk about her marriage or what she and husband Justin Bieber do — except to be a normal married couple — behind closed doors.

“It doesn’t feel worth it to me anymore when I try to have an open conversation with someone like you and then it gets taken out of context,” Bieber says to Lane Florsheim, who interviews her in WSJ Magazine’s Spring Fashion issue cover story, in Hailey Bieber’s Next Move.

“The media loves to take a tiny little blurb of something for clickbait. The media has always been a disgusting thing.”

Two Big Engagement Ring Trends for 2022: Art Deco Emerald Cut and Lab Grown Diamonds

Two Big Engagement Ring Trends for 2022: Art Deco Emerald Cut and Lab Grown Diamonds AOC Fashion

For over 20 years, I’ve been focused on three major subsets of Americans: the traditionalists, the moderns, and the cultural creatives. Hearst’s Diego Gravinese Fractalia 5 is deeply rooted in the Cultural Creatives mindset. Most of us reading AOC are Cultural Creatives and/or Smart Sensuality women.

The latter are women who are sexy and smart; focused on achievement; and possessed with deep empathy for people and our planet. Often they are modern values women [you just can’t be rich enough or wear enough stuff on your back] who have crossed over to a much more progressive-values way of thinking. We are not show horses.

I’ve called us “lipstick liberals”, which the AOC crowd might deride. But AOC the Congresswoman has herself perfected the pouty red mouth.

Looking at Hearst’s Diego Gravinese painting Fractalia 5 brings other trailblazing women in this mold to mind, women we’ve written about for years at AOC. Think Beyonce, Amal Clooney, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez: They are all women who smash through the fractal panes of imaginary glass that keep them in check.

In a moment of serendipidity, I searched for information about the rings they wore. Among women I admire deeply, one shape — the emerald cut — emerges like a phoenix rising out of the ashes.

Harley Weir Captures Mona and Rianne in Isabel Marant SS 2022 Campaign AOC Fashion

French brand Isabel Marant shares a series of other-worldly images starring Mona Tougaard, Rianne van Rompaey and Leon Dame in its Spring-Summer 2022 campaign. The day in the life of the world visual celebration is perhaps an example of nature’s beauty in peril?

Since 1994, Isabel Marant is “credited with inventing the bohemian Parisienne hipster-meets-tomboy look”, says WWD in describing the brand.

Geraldine Saglio styles the campaign images that highlight utilitarian looks with feminine flourishes. Global activist and artist photographer Harley Weir [IG] behind the lens. There is more going on in these images than exquisite sunsets, but one must stop and think about what one is seeing — a quality in short supply today./ Makeup by Ana Takahashi; hair by Damien Boissinot
