Sha’Carri Richardson Wins Silver Medal in Paris, Fronts Vogue US August Olympics Issue
/
Photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez [IG] delivers richly well-done images of Olympic runner Sha’Carri Richardson in a sporting fashion story for the Vogue August’s 2024 digital issue. Julia Sarr-Jamois styles the track star inn Ralph Lauren Collection for the cover and slinky white dress, Bode tank top and shorts, and Nike Team USA Olympic leotard and bikers. / Hair by Key Rentz; makeup by Sally Branka; no credit for Richardson’s outstanding talons.
Richardson won her first Olympic medal today, after suffering the sad suspension for the track star at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
Today was a far happier event for Sha’Carri Richardson, when she won silver in Paris. Was silver — not gold — a surprise? Yes. And her gold medal loss was 1/4 of a second to Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia.

Read MoreAnja Rubik in Kering Brands YSL and Boucheron for W Korea Vol. 7 by Mok Jung-Wook
/
W Korea’s Volume #7 2024 summer issue joins the bandwagon of Asian and Southeast Asian magazines rolling into fashion-content excellence with impossible-to-ignore photography that surpasses their counterparts in America and Europe. The differences are also noteworthy among European issues that are locally-owned vs. the global fashion conglomerate we all know well.
AOC understands the concept of editorial independence from luxury brands. But if the degree of recycling images across multiple titles — while also operating with obviously-reduced production budgets — doesn’t result in editorial excellence commensurate with smaller titles, that is a long-term problem
Additionally, we have ‘professional competence meets star power’ with people like Karlie Kloss entering the discussion with her titles at Bedford Media. I’m speaking of digital imagery as well, not only print.
