AOC shares ‘Born to Rewild’ with model Heather Kemesky, who channels the spirit of Fay Godwin, photographed by Josh Shinner [IG].
“This story was based on one of my favourite photographers, the often (and sadly) overlooked Fay Godwin. She was an incredible woman, stomping around the Scottish Highlands in her big coats and thick jumpers with her tripod and Hasselblad, taking landscape pictures that are every bit as brilliant as those of Ansel Adams and co. I urge you to take a trip down a discovery wormhole this weekend…”

There’s not a lot of information this moment, but the early images of Anok Yai [IG] — featured here — and Binx Walton [coming] are PHENOMENAL!! AOC borrowed this descriptor but we haven’t used the word — perhaps not even once a year. Five times since 2007. It’s a word that should be reserved for true drop, dead imagery.
Call us glossy superficial, but these images are supermodel status. Yes, with a nod to Naomi. However this project unfolds, AOC will be promoting it.

Each year model Ashley Radjarame returns to her hometown of Puducherry to spend a holiday with her family. Until this Vogue India15th anniversary cover story, the Parisian, born in Îlede-France in 1999, has never knowingly stepped into clothes made by Indian designers.
The model’s grandfather — father to Radjarame’s mother, Raji — was enrolled in the French military service and she inherited his citizenship, when the entire family migrated to the outskirts of Paris. Now I understand the French connection.
Ashley and her mother both burst into tears at the end of Nick Sethi’s fashion shoot. “In most shoots, you only care about what you look like and what the outfit looks like, but during this shoot it was also about being photographed in Puducherry —where I’m from, where my grandfather is from and where my family was born. It made me so proud,” she says of her emotional state post-shoot.
