The Kardashian-Jenners entertained the world, while shaping its customs and habits, writes Matchetti. People can protest all they want about the Kardashians, and they can also turn them off. The fact that they won’t tells us more about them than the K-women, who have made a fortune off our addiction to them.
You don’t find AOC criticizing the Kardashian-Jenner women, because our values say we must criticize their followers at the same time. It’s the followers who are making them rich and famous.
Consider that they probably know more about the human psychology of Americans than any think tank in America. Granted, they are a global brand, but this IS an American story — and we can always turn it off.

Danish top model Mona Tougaard explores the thinking of Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde, who became notoriously popular in early 1890s London.
Ellie Grace Cumming styles Tougaard in edgy, intelligenstsia fashion lensed by Alasdair McLellan [IG]. ‘Pictures From an Institution’ was shot at Magdalen College, Oxford in 2023 for d la Repubblica February 18, 2023.
In 1887, Oscar Wilde became the editor of ‘The Lady’s World’, a high-end, monthly magazine produced by Cassell and Company. Wilde’s short but controversial tenure challenged how magazines narrated women’s lives and roles in society. Fascinating!
AOC adores these poetic images of Kaia Gerber’s 1960s Coke-can curls. Other key words from this big-hair period in America are bouffant and the beehive.
We think that only southern girls from that era believed “The higher the hair, the closer to God”, and definitely in Georgia.
i-D Magazine’s March 2023 issue no. 371 ‘The Timeless Issue’ refers to channeling Old Hollywood in this fashion story styled by Alastair McKimm. Perhaps.
To AOC, it’s less grand than Old Hollywood but with the same aspirations. Kaia is Southern girl cotillion-ready. And Tyler, look at this gorgeous picture of a Black debutante ball.

Polish supermodel Anja Rubik celebrates her outstanding career in the pages of Vogue Poland’s 5th anniversary issue, where she serves as guest editor.
Rubik poses in a Saint Laurent Men’s fashion story styled by Paul Sinclaire and featured on Anthony Vacarello’s IG as Saint Laurent Artistic, Creative, Image Director.
Anja is a friend of the Saint Laurent house and frequently appears in the brand’s menswear as well as womenswear.
AOC is a long-time admirer of Anja’s work as a sex educator, Joan-of-Arc level warrior for women’s rights to control our own bodies in the arena of abortion politics, and all aspects of LGBTQIA+ social justice rights.
In our opinion, Anja Rubik rests at the very top of that social activist pyramid, facing off with adversaries in a fearless and defiant posture. Rubik is also a committed environmentalist who has managed to soar in fashion world, while staying true to her own values.

The best story about Rihanna’s and A$AP Rocky’s impossibly-enchanting baby boy being on the cover of British Vogue is how the parents responded to a split second flicker of a camera lens in the distance on the day of the March 2023 issue photo shoot.
The sun was beginning to set on a private stretch of beach in Malibu. The pending moment was a true coming out party, as baby prepared for his global debut. His charming and infectious smile was ready to be beamed out over countless websites and IG shares — on strict terms set by his mama and papa.
