Nicole Kidman's Killer Instinct Knows Few Rules in Vogue Australia by Steven Klein

Nicole Kidman's Killer Instinct Knows Few Rules in Vogue Australia by Steven Klein

Nicole Kidman makes her ninth appearance on the cover of Vogue Australia February 2024 issue, styled by Christine Centenera. Photographer Steven Klein [IG] photographs Kidman’s well-established ‘Killer Instincts’ fashion style with an interview by Hannah-Rose Yee.

Let’s discuss the snake. “I think it’s something to do with the same way that I skydive or scuba dive,” Kidman explained about her request to be subversive in the fashion shoot. Kidman finds snakes “alluring”, leaving her fascinated by the way “they slither and move” and by the notion of shedding skins. “You can become and try different things, all the time, which is what excites me,” she reflects poetically.

Opening her arms to receive the snake — which was larger than Kidman expected — the actor explained that she is able to enter a trance in most situations. This skill exponentially expands her acting skill set, in a fearless, freedom-to-coexist with just about any situation.

Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers Los Angeles-based Flaunt Magazine’s [IG] 25th Anniversary issue. Crawford delivers an impressive fashion story shoot, styled by Mui-Hai Chu, in Bottega Veneta on the cover. Photographer Greg Swales [IG] is behind the lens.

Flaunt writes: “Cindy Crawford, one of the world’s first and most well-known supermodels, is a rare icon that represents the past, the present, and the future. As seen in the recent Apple TV docuseries ‘The Super Models’, Crawford has made a profession out of risk-taking and has successfully navigated an ever-changing world of fashion, modeling, and media.”

There’s a reason why so many top models love to work with Greg Swales. Having watched Crawford on video in a November 2024 event attached to Omega Watches, these images are very much what Crawford looks like today.

The California light is kind to human faces. What I like about Greg Swales’ images is that the closeups of older women’s faces are not overtouched.

Unadulterated Ignorance on Display

The lowest rung of the fashion commentariat put their ignorance on full display with regard to Linda’s scars reveal on one cover of Zeit.

When shooting a word gun at a human as a commentariat member, the saying goes “ready, aim, fire”. Part of “ready” involves asking yourself if this person really deserves to be metaphorically shot down by your comment. And do you have your facts in order?

Grace Gay and Mila Bergsma as 'The Doves' by Koto Bolofo in Numéro 244 February 2024

The opposite of stress is serenity, and the February 2024 issue of Numéro 244 does its very best to deliver a calming hope to a world in serious need of some. It is — in the words of the magazine — an offering of Love, Peace and Serenity to accompany the Hope, as the only possible response to these dark times we live in. Some more than others, but this is a truly dark and catastrophic time for large numbers of the world’s people.

One of the warmer, gentler, human lights on planet Earth is photographer Koto Bolofo [IG] and he creates a moment of collective peace to nourish our collective humanity and the poignant awareness of the suffering of others with his fashion story ‘Les Colombes’ [the doves].

The film is the fifth time Moore has worked with director Todd Haynes.

Yesterday, we learned that Moore will star with Tilda Swinton in The Room Next Door, first English-language film from Oscar-winning Pedro Almodóvar.

In the world of fashion, Moore has been more devoted to Tom Ford than anyone else. Having just become an ambassador for Bottega Veneta, the actor says  "I’ve known Matthieu [Blazy, the designer] since he was an assistant at Calvin Klein," she says. "He’s a tremendous talent."
