Supertalent businesswoman Hailey Bieber covers the September 2023 issue of Vogue Japan [IG], wearing YSL modern cami and Tiffany & Co jewelry. Legendary stylist Patti Wilson [IG] balances her love of dazzle with the quiet luxury trend.
As thumbnails, the images don’t say Patti Wilson stylist at all. Seeing the images in more detail on AOC shows off the abundance of surface interest and fabric-shaping silhouettes in these fall 2023 fashions lensed by Richard Burbridge [IG]./ Hair by Shingo Shibata; makeup by Kanako Takase

Top talent, activist and humanitarian Cara Delevingne covers the September 2023 issue of ELLE UK. The Dior ambassador is styled by Aurelia Donaldson in ‘I Finally Feel As Though I Can Be Free’, lensed by emerging creative Quentin Jones [IG]./ Hair by Harry Josh; makeup by Hung Vanngo
Hannah Marriott sits down for the interview at an arts venue in Manhattan. Cara says “I’m resilient as hell.” That is good news because Cara has a global squad cheering for her.
Cara shares that traditional therapy has never worked for her — although she has tried everything including the Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12-steps program. In Cara’s case, seeing her yoga instructor Colin Dunsmuir — with her for 12 years —via Face Time three times a week has brought very solid results.
Read MoreLaetitia Casta in 'Rue des Plaisires Lensed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch in Harper's Bazaar France
/
Model, actor, mother Laetitia Casta covers the August 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar France. Actually, the issue is devoted to her in a series of fashion stories.
In this story ‘Rue des Plaisires’, Casta is styled by Isabelle Sayer in images by Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG]. / Hair by Akemi Kishida; makeup by Cécile Paravina
In their introduction, Harper’s France [IG] captures much of Casta’s enigmatic personality:
“Laetitia Casta surprises, surprises herself, and pops up where she is the least expected. Insubordinate and disciplined, wild and faithful, exposed and discreet, wise and punk, obvious and enigmatic, principled and tolerant, she is a complex and fascinating whole. And it continues to fascinate. If there is a Laetitia Casta mystery and poetry, this issue comes as close as it gets.”

Model Tasha Tilberg is back in a denim-rich fashion world cover story for ELLE Italia. Barcelona-based Xavi Gordo [IG] is behind the lens.
I have the same response to this fashion story that I did eco-warrior Tasha Tilberg’s story for Fashion Canada April 2022. The clothes were great — and these denim clothes have terrific styling by Laura Seganti. But which are the sustainable choices?

Read More"Splashes of Color" Style in Vogue Arabia June 2023 Ignites Dopamine Dreams of Zapotec Underworld
/
Photographer Ekin Can Bayrakdar [IG] makes it very clear that color has an intense ride in his brain waves. He writes: “As you can see, I LOVE colour and try to use colours as strongly as possible.”
My brain is so sensitive to color that Bayrakdar’s fashion story “Splashes of Color” for the June 2023 issue of Vogue Arabia just derailed my morning reading plan.
Riding the Orange Moonbeam
My intention was to read: “Archaeologists Discover Entrance to the Zapotec Underworld Beneath a Church in Mexico” in Smithsonian’s Smart News. New scans of the site have confirmed the existence of an “underground labyrinth”, which the Catholic Church obliterated by not only closing it to generations of worshippers, but eliminating its secrets from human history.

Imaan Hammam Is Haute in ELLE USA August 2023, Lensed by Chris Colls
/
Supermodel Imaan Hammam takes two covers for the August 2023 issue of ELLE USA. Imaan wears bralette and earrings from Fendi Couture above with a corset from New York Vintage. The second cover below features Imaan wearing an Armani Prive black gown with Van Cleef & Arpels necklace.
Leah Faye Cooper interviews Hammam in her Brooklyn apartment during Ramadan, explaining how 2023 is a year for her to connect more deeply with her Muslim faith. Imaan is not only fasting by day but also not working.
The very top model became an Estée Lauder Global Brand Ambassador in May, and she reports fainting on the set during Ramadan 2022. “They’d be having you doing so much on these shoots, girl. It’s like dancing, jumping around, running—and then there’s a room for TikTok, doing all these TikTok videos….”

Read MoreJulie Hoomans Sees the World in Retro Fashion Story by Mara Alonso for Vogue Portugal
/
Model Julie Hoomans adds another fashion story ‘Bagagem Emocional’ to Vogue Portugal’s June 2023 ‘Voyage’ issue. The dog collar necklace with Hoomans walking the dogs has me smiling. Stylists have the opportunity to use lots more wit when given the green light by editors. Stylist Alicia Padrón’s small globe in Hoomans’ hand is also a nice touch — with pink Samsonite luggage, along with Gucci Valigeria.
Photographer Mara Alonso [IG] captures the quiet adrenalin rush, in a time when young women suddenly were no longer tied to ironing boards. Seventy years later, American women are still fighting the battle for agency over our own lives.
