Read MoreEsther Heesch in Gucci Cruise 2023 by George Katsanakis for Harper's Bazaar Greece
/German model Esther Heesch greets 2023 in a Gucci fashion story covering the January issue of Harper’s Bazaar Greece. The ‘Gucci Cosmogonie’ Cruise 2023 Collection took a turn in the direction of sophisticated elegance with a strong hit of verve.
Simultaneously, Gucci has opened its first Valigeria Luggage store in Paris to advance its footprint in the luxury travel sector.
Harper’s Greece calls the expansion of the ‘Gucci Valigeria’ DNA is the pursuit for an “endless journey based on knowledge, experience, freedom and style”. AOC says that the ‘endless journey’ referenced by Harper’s Greece must include having an inquiring mind.
Being truly inquisitive about the heritage and true stories of other cultures is mandatory for luxury houses pursuing this business path. Our own knowledge as western liberals is deeply flawed and filled — not only with prejudice — but also ignorance about other great, ancient cultures.

/Taiwanese dancer and choreographer Xu Fangyi covers the January 2023 issue of Vogue Taiwan. The internationally-renowned dancer wrote on Facebook: "If it is important to be seen by the world, I will not spend my energy waiting for the eyes of the world. I will try my best to polish myself so that it is difficult for people not to see."
AOC did not know until today that uber-talented Zhong Lin [IG] is a self-taught photographer — as if our respect for her intuitive talent could grow any larger.
Photographer Zhong Lin's lens has become her opponent today, both an enemy and a friend. Her eyes are firm, revealing her determination not to be outdone. "Have you captured the photo you want?" "Is this okay? I can kick my feet higher." "Maybe I can try another angle?"
It was when a pair of high heels appeared on set that the photographer/dancer synergy went full-throttle.
