Actor, activist, humanist and hardcore ballbreaker Sharon Stone is the cover star of Vogue Adria [IG] June 2025. Stone is joined by models Gabriel Aubry and Adam Senn in a provocative fashion story styled by Paris Libby.
Photographer Branislav Simoncik [IG] captures the visual narrative that reminds us of 90s Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and even Valentino. It intrigues me to review French luxury brands and Italian brands historically on this idea.
In its simplest form, Sharon Stone is a glass half full person. And she is the consummate ballbreaker.
Right wingers insist that ballbreakers are narcissistic women consumed with our own self-image and self-contained universe. In fact, ballbreakers are more likely to be exactly the opposite.

Formula 1 [FI] has moved into the fast lane, striking new business alliances with Apple and LVMH starring Louis Vuitton in 2025.
Today we focus on LV and F1, with visuals from the new Formula 1 and the Apple Original Films' highly-anticipated movie movie in F1. The movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris opens June 27.
Fresh off winning the prestigious 2025 Cannes Lions Grand Prix for their partnership with the Paris 2025 Olympic Games, this new F1 relationship announced in late 2024 represents what is called the LVMH “strategic narrative layering” approach across its maisons.
The fastest growing segment of F1 fandom is young women. From AOC’s perspective, layering bottles of Moët & Chandon into the F1 celebration experience, tying it directly to the Louis Vuitton brand experience is simply brilliant.
But hey — what do I understand understand about business in a purely transactional Wall Street world universe? ~ Anne

The irrepressible, uber-talent Nicole Kidman rolls on with life, inviting Allure Magazine Summer 2025 to meet her for am atypical bodyshop tuneup.
There’s a reason why fashion story interviews typically happen separately from the fashion shoot. Can you imagine photographer Dan Beleiu [IG] getting a message that he will be shooting Nicole Kidman [IG] for the May 2025 issue of Allure Magazine’s beauty issue in a hyperbaric chamber in Nashville?
In NK’s case, her career just does not slow down. Ever since she wore the MiuMiu mini skirt, remaining oblivious to the morality-infused angst of younger women that Kidman should act her age, the red head with bangs staring back at us has been on fire.

Actor Jodie Comer is among the British GQ’s Heroes cover stars, lensed by Scandelbergs [IG] for the June 2025 issue and styled by Gerry O’Kane and more for the fashion story ‘How Jodie Comer focused the fury.
Rage in Play ‘Prima Facia’
Rage is not confined to her next film ‘28 Years Later’. Comer’s ‘Prima Facie’, the one-woman play that won her a Tony when it transferred to Broadway in 2023, has been a game-changer for her. The play has also helped her to confront this severe contradiction of inner peace between many men and women.
The play has been so emotionally draining for Comer as an actor, that she prepared for her West End run by sitting and waiting, drowning out the raw negativity about to consume her for 100 minutes with music. Absorbed in the sound and messages of artists Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alison Goldfrapp and Florence Welch, Comer would steady herself until someone tapped her on the shoulder to tell her it was time to go on. That’s quite a story.
