Many women are choosing to prioritize education and careers over traditional marriage and motherhood, and they are also contributing significantly to China's economy through their spending power. Read the details.

'Edge of the World' Shot by Alasdair McLellan and Lessons of Ancient Rebellion in a Changing World
The May 2025 issue of Bazaar Italia adds a wonderful phrase in translation with a new twist. It inquires what beauty is for us, beyond a concept reduced to an “orgasm of the ego”.
Rather, this process illuminates the free expression of oneself, which evolves with our person and with the passing of time.
It’s possible — not probable — but possible in the world of fashion, that this focus could take hold not only under the umbrella of humanist thought, but now influenced further by Pope Leo and his beliefs as a member of the Augustinian order.
The Commitment to Educating Oneself: The Good, the Bad and the Indefensible
Augustinians have a deep commitment to the idea that each of us has the opportunity to embark on an inner journey towards understanding and cultivating a deeper relationship with God.
In America, where young white men are the primary drivers of a closer relationship to faith, the focus is regaining control, in my opinion.
There is a much richer vision for young people that is embedded in humanism — as expressed by designer Brunello Cucinelli. Remember that humanism came together in launching the Renaissance with both a secular wing and a religious wing. They were not identical but highly compatible in their views and values.

The headlines surrounding Bianca Balti’s cover story grabbed me by the throat, as I didn’t know about her 2024 diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer. In addition, Bianca had a preventative double mastectomy after discovering that she was a carrier for the BRCA1 gene.
Balti, now 41, is just so composed, elegant, beautiful and cheerful after being wacked big-time about the fragility of life, that it’s remarkable — and inspiring — to see how she is handling her diagnosis.
In February, the supermodel was a cohost of Italy’s Sanremo Music Festival 2025. “I’m not coming to be a cancer patient,” Balti explained at the press conference ahead of the event. “I don’t want to tell about the pain. I could have been lying in bed feeling sorry for myself, but instead, I want to be a celebration of life tonight.”

Pierpaolo Piccoli Becomes Balenciaga Creative Director in Time for October's Paris Fashion Week
In a luxury fashion industry seeking good news, the appointment of Pierpaolo Piccioli as Balenciaga’s creative director starting July 10th is worthy of fireworks.
Kering confirmed Monday evening in Paris that the highly-regarded talent will show his first collection during Paris Fashion Week in October.
As the Wall Street Journal’s Andrea Figueras wrote today in announcing the Balenciaga appointment, “Coupled with Gucci’s difficulties, Kering was hit by Balenciaga’s scandal in 2022 over controversial ad campaigns featuring children.”
WSJ isn’t just being difficult with these jabs. There is a method to their madness.

Kaia is lit: she’s lit on literature, learning, her Library Science [IG] bookclub and loving fellow humans very different from herself. The mega-talent in-the-making won AOC over in the i-D Spring 2020 Icons Issue, where Kaia Gerber chatted with her new friend and ‘Slave Play’ playwright Jeremy O. Harris.
The actor, literature lover and top model talent shares very unique insights into her relationship with mom Cindy Crawford. They are very much worth the read.
