Nyaueth Riam in Spring's Best Accessories for London Times Style March 13, 2022 AOC Fashion

It’s a fact the most remote workers in America don’t want to return to the office — and for a multitude of reasons. Fashionistas are probably more inclined than most to get out of slouchy pants and into Spring 2022’s latest accessories, as leading members of the vanguard returning to work.

Style peacocks got an eyeful in this weekend’s The Sunday Times Style fashion story ‘Scene Stealers! The Eight Best Accessory Styles for Spring.’ They all pack a punch from Swarovski’s stackable jewel chokers in candy colors to Saint Laurent’s patent platforms. Wrist weights have gone glam, but don’t put them in your Fendi micro pouch.

The beautiful model Nyaueth Riam is styled by Henrik Lischke in Dior, Lauren Perrin, Miu Miu, Molly Goddard, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello and more. Photographer Santi de Hita [IG] is behind the lens for the March 13th issue of London’s Sunday Times Style.

“I kept seeing beautiful jewellery that was out of my budget,” Jessie Andrews, founder of sustainable jewelry brand Bagatiba, told British Vogue in October 2020. Since then Andrews’ entrepreneurial star has risen on multiple fronts — so much so that Andrews found herself cast in a February 2022 episode of ‘Euphoria’, playing a rich wife who is the victim of a jewelry robbery by Zendaya’s character Rue.

Jessie Andrews brought attitude to the February 2022 issue of Harper’s Bazaar Serbia, lensed by Adam Franzino [IG] in digital covers and “more [fashion] from the streets”.

Previously: Metal Magazine Highlights Pyer Moss' Kerby Jean-Raymond's 'Wat U Iz' FW 2021 Couture Show

Jean-Raymond became the first Black American designer invited to show Haute Couture during Paris Couture Week last July. After a 48-hour delay due to torrential weather associated with Hurricane Elsa’s arrival in the Northeast, Jean-Raymond stepped into the history of couture spotlight at Villa Lewaro in Irvington, New York.

The Fédération de la Haute Couture extended their calendar so that Pyer Moss could still be listed on the couture calendar and have Kerby Jean-Raymond be the first Black American designer to show for couture.

The 34-room, 20,000-square-foot mansion was the intellectual gathering place for leaders of the Harlem Renaissance. Even more relevant to the couture conversation Villa Lewaro was home to Madam C.J. Walker, the country’s first African-American woman millionaire, a renowned businesswoman and philanthropist.

Curbed wrote about the residence: “Named after her daughter (LElia WAlker RObinson), Walker’s “Dream of Dreams” home was designed by the first licensed black architect in the state of New York, Vertner Tandy. Madam Walker was the first person of color to own property in the area around Lyndhurst. Her townhouse in Manhattan on 136th Street, also designed by Tandy, was built "without regard to cost but with considerable regard for good taste," according to a 1917 Literary Digest interview, which estimated her annual income at $250,000 a year (roughly $4.7 million in today’s dollars).”

Villa Lewaro is now home to New Voices Foundation, devoted to cultivating entrepreneurship among women of color.

Cara Delevingne Activist Talent Fronts 7 For All Mankind Spring Summer 2022 Campaign

Cara Delevingne Activist Talent Fronts 7 For All Mankind Spring Summer 2022 Campaign AOC Fashion

7 For All Mankind premium denim brand joins forces with British actor, activist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and model Cara Delevingne for its Spring Summer 2022 campaign.

“Denim is a fantastic, enduring style statement and an essential part of how I express my style,” says Delevingne.

7 For All Mankind Sustainability Update

The brand maintains an extensive website update on their progress in sustainability, with the stated goal that 80% of 7 For All Mankind products will have sustainable properties by 2023. Note that AOC hates this statement, because it can be interpreted quite loosely. Other premium denim brands that AOC covers are further along on their sustainability mission. However, honesty is the best policy in this journey and 7 For All Mankind appears direct and honest about what they have achieved and what they haven’t in their newest update.

Cara Delevingne and the Cara Delevingne Foundation

Cara Delevingne has an extensive list of activist and philanthropy projects. Cara and her friend Christabel Reed have launched a powerful campaign to end climate change called EcoResolution. The website is impressive.

In a current project the actor will play a daredevil climber in ‘The Climb’, the story of six ordinary women who join a Greenpeace-led protest against Shell Oil’s plans to drill in the Arctic. The activists climbed the Shard, the tapered glass tower next to London Bridge station in 2013. The Shard remains remains the tallest building in the UK and the seventh-tallest building in Europe. Read the original story on The Guardian and a pic of the Shard climbers on Greenpeace UK Twitter.

Also related to the environment and saving our planet is Project Zero. Cara has created unique designs and content for Project Zero to help raise funds and awareness for the ocean.

She is actively involved in the Elton John AIDS Foundation to fund “frontline partners to prevent infections, fight stigma and provide treatment with love, compassion and dignity for the most vulnerable groups affected by HIV around the world”.

In the case of Cara Delevingne, the activism list goes on and on. Read more: Cara Delevingne Activist Talent Fronts 7 For All Mankind Spring Summer 2022 Campaign
