Kim Kardashian Muses with Carine Roitfeld in CR Fashion Book 23 Cover 1 of 11

Kim Kardashian Muses with Carine Roitfeld in CR Fashion Book 23 Cover 1 of 11

If 21st century culture and spirituality had goddesses, Kim Kardashian could easily be she who presided over social media, reality television, fashion and entrepreneurship. These thoughts open her interview with Carine Roitfeld in a CR Fashion Book Issue 23, with 10 more muses besides Kardashian to follow.

With this new CR Fashion Book 23, Kardashian takes her fourth cover — and what an amazing fashion story this is. Ben Perreira works with Carine on styling, choosing DSQUARED, Jacquemus, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Prada, Nensi Dojaka, and more. Photographer Nadia Lee Cohen [IG] is in the studio, capturing Kim Kardashian in a total transformation of the woman we know.

Kardashian refers to her own soul multiple times in the interview, which fascinates Anne. After the two mega voices in fashion talk about much needed needed reforms in America’s criminal justice system, Roitfeld asks Kardashian: “When do you feel most free?”

KK answers:

When I make business choices that are from the soul and not a quick, easy decision. I’d rather take the longer route and go with the journey than an easy choice that seems expected.

Madison Headrick Nahmad's Tiffany-Rich 'Naked Beauty' Sinks Venice

Madison Headrick Nahmad's Tiffany-Rich 'Naked Beauty' Sinks Venice

This ‘daring’ fashion story featuring model Madison Headrick is presumably heavily-funded by Tiffany, and absolutely approved by them. They have worked together previously, but this collaboration devoted to the Tiffany Lock and Tiffany Knot collections is pure brilliance. Anne will explain.

The arrival of Hector Muelas at Tiffany & Co this week, and now this very racy, divinely-sensual Madison Headrick fashion story lensed by David Roemer [IG] reaffirms my understanding of a top-level LVMH strategy in marketing to a progressive, younger, monied clientele.

My point in is not to compare Headrick Nahmad to Richie Grainge. Both young women are successful on their own.

Helen Mirren Talks Golda Meir in DuJour Magazine Fall 2023 by Nick Thompson

Esteemed actor Helen Mirren is not accustomed to being the center of controversy. But she knew that criticism of her decision to play the plum role of world leader Golda Meir, the founding first and only woman leader of Israel’s history, was certain to invite controversy. Mirren is not Jewish and she has called the criticism of her being tapped by Oscar winner Guy Nattiv to play the lead in ‘Golda’ as “utterly legitimate”.

‘Golda’s focus is the 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in October 1973.

The film is in theaters and online now, released on August 25 and with a modest box office of $4.4 worldwide.

How enchanting! In the words of photographer Ruo Bing Li [IG], we are viewing: “A Lin editorial that unfolds between a scenario generated by technology and a make-up designed by human hands; between a background made of bits and bytes and a model in the flesh and blood…”
