Rihanna Covers Harper's Bazaar US March 2025 Legacy Issue, by Luis Alberto Rodriguez
She’s a “titan of music” and a “self-made mogul” who “ just might have manifested her dream life”, writes Lynette Nylander for Harper’s Bazaar US March 2025 ‘Legacy’ issue.
The interview happened before the lifting of a major cloud hanging over the couple’s life and family — husband A$AP Rocky’s court case in Los Angeles.
Most AOC readers know about the not-guilty verdict that sent the couple into each other’s arms on February 18, 2025. But another story so relevant is the extraordinary words Rocky spoke to his lawyer Joe Tacopina right before the verdict was read.

AOC Taps Debra Shaw in Dior Cruise 2025 for a History Lesson on Pre-Christian Scottish Women
Maria Grazia Chiuri staged her Dior Cruise 2025 show in the gardens of Drummond Castle in Scotland, with bagpipes making the occasion. The winter Luxe issue of Grazia UK [IG] features top model Debra Shaw wearing key pieces from the Dior Cruise 2025 collection, lensed by Silvana Trevale [IG] at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland.
Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri Always Finds the Unique Makers for Her Collections
In fashion we concentrate so much on shape Grazia said, but textiles are a big part of our job—what you can do with them, and the changes you can make through them.” So, Chiuri went to the traditional—the tartan and cashmeres, the tweeds and the Argyles—and deftly filtered them into a collection which variously drew on the geopolitics of fabrics.
Chiuri’s collection and brief history lesson took AOC on a breakthrough journey into the history of women in Scotland and beyond. Anne never intended to land in a deep-dive into the Middle Ages. In fact, that’s exactly where our Gleneagles Defender landed.

The fall 2025 designer collections haven’t hit Paris yet, but from all we know to date, red is big and it’s not a shy red.

Celina Ralph for Sunday Times Style UK Suggests Regression on Larger Size Models
Buzz-cut model Celina Ralph does business class, styled by Verity Parker in masculine suiting, crisp shirts and a tie for images by Ina Levy [IG].
It could be that fashion comes to rest around Celina Ralph’s body type as much more aspirational than in the past. And Ralph is in good company with shrinking-bodies models on Ozympic-style drugs. She cites her concerns generally on this topic:
“We have to be careful of tokenism,” she says. “Of course we celebrate when designers and brands celebrate women of different sizes, but there has to be longevity, and we definitely haven’t got there yet. What we need in this industry is variation — we need all different versions of beauty.”
Factually-speaking, about 50% of luxury sales in clothing are coming from 1% of the population. Very, very few of those women are not model size, and they’ve always been thin.
We have more than four-years of luxury brands featuring significant numbers of larger-size models on the runway with little or no financial payback. Celina Ralph may be the body type all brands can embrace in today’s business climate, also bodies like Ashley Graham’s, who is a tour de force far beyond her body size.
After all, many of us are trying to save democratic governments and core human rights in our politics. Our focus is just not on the psychological demands of these women.
