Rising South Sudan model Hakima Athuai is styled by Brian Conway in ‘Garden of Eden’, lensed by Petros [IG] for Mixte Magazine September 2022./ Hair by Anna Cofone; makeup by Sandra Cooke
Mixte shares this image about the issue: “Between the revocation of the right to abortion in the United States and the acceleration of climate change, 2022 could seriously discourage us and amplify our feeling of powerlessness. However, true to its predictive abilities, fashion has been driving and motivating us since the year began to remind us of our ability to change things. It is the concept of empowerment that we have chosen to address and develop as a theme throughout this new fall-winter 2022/23 issue. In another way, this theme allows us to deal with self-assertion, independence, accomplishment, free will and creativity; and reminds us, as Montaigne said, that "true freedom is to have power over oneself for everything".

With a right-wing battle for women’s bodies gaining steam across the world — not only America — it’s no time for fashion to go Miss Modesty, as Vogue France has done. Didn’t they tell us a few months ago that feminism is so over as an issue?
Given a right-wing win in Italy on Sunday — the first since Mussolini and a couple weeks ago also in Sweden, and with America’s midterms a tossup in our post-Roe world — “controlling women’s bodies” is a high-priority in Europe and America.

British photographer, New York-based Craig McDean [IG] has outdone himself with new images of actor Ana de Armas for AnOther Magazine [IG]. Katie Shillingford styled de Armas in Louis Vuitton for the cover and inside fashion story, adding sensual but casual luxury looks inside.
