The inspiration behind the fashion shoot includes 1970s sportswear, the colors used by artist Henri Matisse and the style of actor Steve McQueen. Saglio describes the portfolio as “a mix of classic meeting a cool street world.” The team arrived at Hippodrome des Arcades, just outside of Paris.
Van Drimmlen was eager to discover the aging elements of the shuttered racetrack, telling WSJ Magazine: “Those kinds of things I love as a photographer—just discovering these things that magically are so beautiful instead of trying to re-create that yourself. It’s just trying to have an eye for the things that are already there.”

Bella Newman Flashes 'The Young and the Restless' for Muse Magazine #58 AOC Fashion
Photographer Bella Newman [IG] focuses on cultural diversity and fashion inclusivity as the main message for her style story ‘The Young and the Restless’. We add that the imagery, the fashion mix styled by Amy Mach and the set itself is pretty fantastic in the pages of Muse Magazine #58, September 2021.
Also, the diverse cast of Mammina Aker, Manami Kinoshita, Nyaueth Rian and Thalita Farias makes it own visual statement. Perhaps there’s no need to state the obvious./ Hair by Dylan Chavles; makeup by Dan Duran
The real question is ‘will diversity hold’? AOC thinks ‘yes’ because Black talent is pumping visual creativity and diverse points of view into the style universe like never before. If you are a globalist like Miss Anne, you are drowning in the visual glory of the moment.
With the world on our doorstep, just imagine the journey before us, if we choose to take it — guided by sustainable principles, of course.
Blonde Salad Chiara Ferragni Covers the 'New' Vogue Italia October by Scandebergs AOC Fashion

Chiara wears Gucci on the cover of Vogue Italia, accompanied by words of wisdom from Francesca Ragazzi, Head of Content of Vogue Italia, addressing the question of why Chiara Ferragni is covering Vogue Italia.
Ragazzi writes that Vogue Italia has always been at the center of international debate on controversial, international issues. This assertion may be largely true, although it’s legendary Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani who owns this accolade.
Vogue Italia has not possessed the same intellectual verve since the beloved and esteemed Sozzani died in December 2016.
Campbell Addy's Smile-Worthy 'Over the Rainbow' Men's Fashion for WSJ Magazine AOC Fashion
Before seeing this gorgeous WSJ Magazine post online, Anne found herself in a state of exasperation and irritation on a business matter. Checking the credentials on an entirely different post sent by WSJ, It’s Time to Ditch All Your Neutrals and Embrace Rainbow Fashion, stopped her cold.
It’s no secret that AOC jumps through hoops for photographers of color — but for good reason. They have a visceral capacity to feel color in a way we find inspiring. Let’s just say that the world of fashion has been much happier and optimistic with the unleashing of Black creativity, in particular.
Ghanaian-British photographer Campbell Addy’s [IG] image above just erased any and all negative emotions at AOC, even though it’s a grey day on the East Coast. Clare Richardson styles the shoot called ‘Over the Rainbow’, with commentary by Jenny Hartman. Models include: Benyam Mehari, Jefferson Obuseri, Mensah Benjamin.
Stopping by Campbell Addy’s IG as we always do for the photographer — but also to track down the names of the models — we were touched deeply by his vulnerability. Anne was in a similar place in 2014.
Sunday [yesterday October 10] was World Mental Health Day 2021. Campbell Addy wrote:
When asked to create this shoot all I wanted to do was smile. I wanted to create images that would make me smile, because to be frank I had forgotten how to smile deeply and honestly. Those close to me understand my battle with mental health - and it’s a process. Today’s is mental health awareness day, and I would hope someone will look upon these images and feel love, hope and be able to smile. Life is a journey and can be tough at times but simply reaching out and saying hello can make the biggest change in a loved ones life. Thank you to my agents, friends, family and collaborators for putting up with me in my times of need. I’m still trying to smile deeply and honestly, it’s a journey but I’ll get there.
You succeeded in getting Anne to smile also, Campbell Addy — with these glorious images. To say nothing of the joyful jewelry being created in my studio with 80% of the ingredients coming out of Ghana.
Big thanks to you, Campbell Addy, and countless other Black creatives who are turning my own artistry inside out. That’s a big deal for a white lady of a certain age. Better now than never, I guess. Thanks for everything. LOL ~ Anne

KASSL x ZARA Democratic Style Fall 2021 Collab Lensed by Bibi Cornejo Borthwick AOC Fashion
KASSL was launched in 2017 by four friends: Bart Ramakers, Ilse Cornelisses and her husband Tim van Geloven, owners of the Antwerp concept store Graanmarkt 13, and Charlotte Schreuder, now the CEO of KASSL. Graanmarkt 13 is a restaurant, high-end concept store and top-floor apartment with hotel services in Antwerp, Belgium.
Based in Amsterdam KASSL Editions only produces coats — and now bags — inspired by utility jackets and meticulously handmade to last from fabrics like oilcloth and rubber. All KASSLcoats come in both short and long lengths in neutral colors that never go out of fashion. Each coat carries a unique number and stamp of authenticity.
Co-founder Bart Ramakers, describes the KASSL philosophy as an intention to market a product that transcends gender, age and social background. Ramakersuses descriptive words of “refined yet unpolished, luxurious, qualitative, democratic and timeless” to describe the brand. The influence of a harsh German visual culture permeates the designs, produced by the same German manufacturer who produces “everything for the German police force and fire brigade.”
Recently, KASSL has launched a home and furniture collection of carefully-designed essentials inspired by the same design DNA of the original fisherman raincoats.
In September, KASSL x ZARA was introduced with its focus on classic coats, sporty separates and accessories and homewares. Top models Malgosia Bela and Selena Forrest showcase the collection, styled by Gijsje Ribbens, who also serves as art director on the production.
