/WSJ Magazine goes to Sri Lanka with model Imaan Hammam in the ‘Best Dresses of the Summer’. The very top model, who is tight with Adut Akech and Palomma Elsesser, says about models of color in fashion: “I remember when I started, it was competitive,” pointing out that often only one model of color would get cast for any given job.
As for the headline about Imaan’s work in Africa — which really caught AOC’s eye — Hammam made one trip to Gambia in 2019 with a group called ‘She’s the First’. She hopes to go again in the future.
Now for the photography by Nadine Ijewere [IG] There are some spectacular shots in this fashion story. Several are gallery worthy and kudos to Nadine Ijewere.

/Rihanna Rewrites Pregnancy Fashion with Love, Lensed by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue US AOC Fashion
It’s been three years since Rihanna was in Paris, but she made quite a splash during Paris Fashion Week. Chioma Nnadi is the editor of Vogue.com, a journalist with the fab assignment of interviewing the megawatt mother-to-be in ‘Oh, Baby! Rihanna’s Plus One.
Alex Harrington and Rihanna’s main man Jahleel Weaver — well now he share’s her with A$AP Rocky — style Rihanna in fit for The Ritz fashion. Photographer Annie Leibovitz [IG] is behind the lens.
Nnadi meets Rihanna at Caviar Kaspia, her last stop on a Friday night of restaurant hopping. The rarely-out-of-favor haunt has been transformed for two weeks into an Off-White outpost. The legend is already in the restaurant, writes Nnadi, “curled up on the banquette in an oversized khaki parka with a slinky turquoise catsuit beneath, a look I recognize from Stella McCartney’s last show. Her shoe of choice? A four-inch stiletto heel.”
“As much as it’s happening, it’s also not happening,” Rihana says, patting her belly, only partially visible above the table. “Sometimes I’ll walk past my reflection and be like, Oh shit!”
Nnadi notes what many of us already observed: “Over the last two weeks, she’s changed something profound in fashion—single-handedly rewriting the rules of pregnancy dressing with one jaw-dropping style maneuver after another.”
