There is an intellectual group of image-makers out there ‘feeling’ and ‘probing’ the story of women’s history. Rafael Pavarotti is certainly in this group, along with stylist Ib Kamara. Their tendency is to channel the African continent or the fusion of Brazilian culture, resulting from the intersection of Catholic imperialism with both indigenous Brazilian culture and the slave trade.

/Rihanna Rewrites Pregnancy Fashion with Love, Lensed by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue US AOC Fashion
It’s been three years since Rihanna was in Paris, but she made quite a splash during Paris Fashion Week. Chioma Nnadi is the editor of Vogue.com, a journalist with the fab assignment of interviewing the megawatt mother-to-be in ‘Oh, Baby! Rihanna’s Plus One.
Alex Harrington and Rihanna’s main man Jahleel Weaver — well now he share’s her with A$AP Rocky — style Rihanna in fit for The Ritz fashion. Photographer Annie Leibovitz [IG] is behind the lens.
Nnadi meets Rihanna at Caviar Kaspia, her last stop on a Friday night of restaurant hopping. The rarely-out-of-favor haunt has been transformed for two weeks into an Off-White outpost. The legend is already in the restaurant, writes Nnadi, “curled up on the banquette in an oversized khaki parka with a slinky turquoise catsuit beneath, a look I recognize from Stella McCartney’s last show. Her shoe of choice? A four-inch stiletto heel.”
“As much as it’s happening, it’s also not happening,” Rihana says, patting her belly, only partially visible above the table. “Sometimes I’ll walk past my reflection and be like, Oh shit!”
Nnadi notes what many of us already observed: “Over the last two weeks, she’s changed something profound in fashion—single-handedly rewriting the rules of pregnancy dressing with one jaw-dropping style maneuver after another.”
