Heidi & Leni Klum for Intimissimi Italian Lingerie Fall 2022 Campaign

Heidi & Leni Klum for Intimissimi Italian Lingerie Fall 2022 Campaign

Supermodel Heidi Klum and daughter Leni launch Intimissimi Lingerie’s Fall 2022 campaign. Photographer Derek Kettela IG] photographs the duo wearing lavish lace balconette bras and panties, with creative direction by Thomas Hayo.

The campaign video sums up the magic relationship between the two women. And I truly hope that right-wing evangelicals — or even Kanye West, legally known as Ye — don’t start trouble around the lovely Intimissimi imagery. Their minds are so perverted at this point that we can’t take anything for granted.

Indiana AG Rokita of 10-Year-Old Raped-Girl Forced-Birth-Fame Defends Kanye West's Anti-Semitism

Indiana AG Rokita of 10-Year-Old Raped-Girl Forced-Birth-Fame Defends Kanye West's Anti-Semitism

Indiana’s public news media WFYI reports that Attorney General Todd Rokita “came to the defense” of rapper Ye, known to the world by his former name of Kanye West. Roika wrote: “The constant hypocrisy from the media is at an all-time high. They have now gone after Kanye for his new fashion line, his independent thinking, & for having opposing thoughts from the norm of Hollywood.”

Here is the link to the article posted on MSNBC: No one should weep for Ye.

AOC notes that in an exclusively numerical overview, Jewish people have a much larger presence in Hollywood, as it relates to their percent of the total American population, about 2.4% of American adults.

Our current focus is AG Rokita defending Kanye West’s vitriolic anti-Semitism that was expressed before his recent social media posts. In new information that broke Oct. 12, JP Morgan bank told Kanye West that they would no longer be his banker, giving him a month to move his money out of the institution.

Luigi and Iango Launch Double Vision Digital Creative Platform with Anok Yai

Luigi and Iango Launch Double Vision Digital Creative Platform with Anok Yai

Photographers Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi [IG] are launching a new Digital Creative Platform {IG] Double Vision.

There’s not a lot of information this moment, but the early images of Anok Yai [IG] — featured here — and Binx Walton [coming] are PHENOMENAL!! AOC borrowed this descriptor but we haven’t used the word — perhaps not even once a year. Five times since 2007. It’s a word that should be reserved for true drop, dead imagery.

Call us glossy superficial, but these images are supermodel status. Yes, with a nod to Naomi. However this project unfolds, AOC will be promoting it.

Vogue Portugal October 2022 Probes 'The Butterfly Effect' and AOC Talks Chaos Theory

Vogue Portugal October 2022 Probes 'The Butterfly Effect' and AOC Talks Chaos Theory

Sofia Lucas, EIC of Vogue Portugal devotes her October 2022 issue to ‘The Butterfly’ effect.

During the 139th meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, [1972] Edward Lorenz posed a question: “Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?”

Vogue Portugal is known for being more intellectual than other Vogues, but AOC doubts that Santos had a plan to wade into some of the most significant scientific and cultural questions of the 21st century. To give credit, however, the editor defines ‘The Butterfly Effect’ as a “mathematical construct behind Chaos Theory”. Impressive words in a Vogue!

Lucas’ own jumping off spot is a quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, from ‘The Little Prince’:

“Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.”

Ashley Radjarame Covers Vogue India 15th Anniversary October 2022 by Nick Sethi

Ashley Radjarame Covers Vogue India 15th Anniversary October 2022 by Nick Sethi

Each year model Ashley Radjarame returns to her hometown of Puducherry to spend a holiday with her family. Until this Vogue India 15th anniversary cover story, the Parisian, born in Îlede-France in 1999, has never knowingly stepped into clothes made by Indian designers.

The model’s grandfather — father to Radjarame’s mother, Raji — was enrolled in the French military service and she inherited his citizenship, when the entire family migrated to the outskirts of Paris. Now I understand the French connection.

Ashley and her mother both burst into tears at the end of Nick Sethi’s fashion shoot. “In most shoots, you only care about what you look like and what the outfit looks like, but during this shoot it was also about being photographed in Puducherry —where I’m from, where my grandfather is from and where my family was born. It made me so proud,” she says of her emotional state post-shoot.
