Dani Witt in Rome by Stefania Paparelli for Vanity Fair Italia June 2021

Model Dani Witt is styled by Simone Guidarelli in ‘Amore Senza Fine’ [Endless Love] a fashion tribute to Rome. Photographer Stefania Paparelli [IG] captures the virginal sensuality embedded in the psychological complexity of Rome — a city I love deeply — for Vanity Fair Italia June 2021.

The rise of conquering Rome — the ultimate patriarchal society — came at a great cost to women generally, who were living in the region. It’s possible to track the devolution of women’s status and power in Greece, as evidenced by the writings of Socrates, then Plato and next Aristotle. Rome is more cut and dried. Men ruled.

‘We have not kept our women individually under control, we now dread them collectively’, said Cato the Elder, as women took to the streets to protest unfair laws.

Maison Margiela’s entire luxury haute couture brand identity embraces decortiqué, a technical process whereby a garment is deconstructed to its core structural elements.

Creative Director John Galliano has created the Classic Leather Tabi High in four different color schemes, with each version morphing into the attitude of one of four cities: Sydney, Tokyo, Cape Town and Turkey.

Gucci's Hortus Deliciarum High Jewelry Collection with Jodie Turner-Smith

British actor Jodie Turner-Smith stars in Gucci’s latest High Jewelry collection, named Hortus Deliciarum or ‘Garden of Delight’. Is Gucci trying to channel Biblical imagery with the female Eve getting humanity kicked out of the Garden of Eden, nearly bringing down the entire human race — or so men wrote?

Clearly Turner-Smith is up to the bad girl, boss lady role as she lounges draped in jewels. taking a midnight dip accompanied by a snake and bird. Not too much ambiguity in these lush images by Glen Luchford [IG] Is that Diana Ross’s ‘Love Hangover’ in a blast from the past campaign video?

The new Hortus Deliciarum collection includes more than 130, most one of a kind and its motifs are divided into four chapters inspired by the majestic beauty of the natural world, star-crossed skyscapes, and breath-taking sunsets, writes Gucci Twitter.
