Tying the fashion styling to the story line of ‘Dune’ - perhaps the great sci-fi fiction ever written - just wouldn’t happen in the big Vogues.
Too intellectual. This is another way of learning about past culture and writers.
Peng Chang in 'Heat Wave' by Zhong Lin for Vogue Taiwan January 2022 AOC Fashion
The January 2022 Vogue Taiwan cover story, ‘Heat Wave’ was also artistic to the max, supported local artists and talked to environment and sustainability in a high-design way.
‘Dune’ is a 1965 science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert. The writer, who was very interested in ecology, was inspired by a US Department of Agriculture program to to stabilize shift sands along the Pacific Ocean by introducing European beach grass.
The Guardian wrote about ‘Dune’ 50 years later in 2015, saying that many consider it to be greatest sci fi ever written. This single paragraph will get you started:
‘Dune ‘is set in a far future, where warring noble houses are kept in line by a ruthless galactic emperor. As part of a Byzantine political intrigue, the noble duke Leto, head of the Homerically named House Atreides, is forced to move his household from their paradisiacal home planet of Caladan to the desert planet Arrakis, colloquially known as Dune. The climate on Dune is frighteningly hostile. Water is so scarce that whenever its inhabitants go outside, they must wear stillsuits, close-fitting garments that capture body moisture and recycle it for drinking.

Marie-Pierra Kakoma known professionally as Lous and the Yakuza, is a Congolese-Belgian singer, rapper, songwriter, model, and artist. Carine Roitfeld styles Lous in an all Louis Vuitton fashion story lensed by Hunter & Gatti [IG] for the March 25th issue of Madame Figaro France.
Describing the artist after the debut of her 2020 album ‘Gore’, Geneva Abdul wrote:
With words sung and rapped in French, Lous and the Yakuza feels like a distinctly globalized project, interweaving Kakoma’s Belgian-Congolese-Rwandan background with eclectic influences including politics past and present, manga comics, Mozart and Whitney Houston.
As for her name Lous, it’s an anagram of soul, the music of the soul, explains the richly-endowed talent in a Madame Figaro story that accompanies her Louis Vuitton fashion images.
At 25, she's an old soul in a young woman's body, the daughter of two doctors a Rwandan mother and a Congolese father, both doctors engaged in humanitarian work. Lous herself is focused on opening a medical clinic in Rwanda, following in the footsteps of her mother’s status as a pediatrician.
Both of Lous’ parents were imprisoned during the the second Congo war in 1998.
Lous cannot speak of all the tribes in her ancestry, because they are at war with each other. The gender-fluid music activist acknowledges being part of the Kalwena ethnic group as expressed in Swahili.
In a very moving paragraph of her Madame Figaro interview, Lous speaks to her translation of Amanda Gorman’s book ‘The Hill We Climb’. Gorman recited the original poem created for US president Joe Biden’s graduation. Gorman wrote: "We will make this wounded world a marvelous world." — a narrative that inspires so many of us, no matter the color of our skin.

Translated: “The story that I have woven with Louis Vuitton was born from my simple and sweet encounter with the greatest designer that I had the opportunity to meet, Nicolas Ghesquière. I appreciated the risk he took by offering me to be muse when I was not yet known. It is an extraordinary prestige for me to have closed two shows for Louis Vuitton. I like the values of this house and the way it respects women.”
