“From every angle, the differences are clear. Firstly, the iconic claws have been given a slimmer look, while merging gracefully into the bezel and case. The bezels are also more slender, with thinner Roman numerals, or diamond-setting that is compact and flawless,” OMEGA shares.

The entire Crawford-Gerber family represents OMEGA as ambassadors since 2017.

Tianna St. Louis's Precious Pedigree Finds Treasure in British Vogue December 2021

Tianna St. Louis's Precious Pedigree Finds Treasure in British Vogue December 2021 AOC Fashion

Rising model Tianna St. Louis hails from Connecticut USA with family bloodlines that are a fantastic mix of Australian, German, Irish, Italian and Jamaican. The stellar visual results of St. Louis’ pedigree are obvious and visually arresting. And then there’s the name. Superb.

We’re having visions of Tianna St. Louis meets Rafael Pavarotti and Ib Kamara and then Edward Enninful pops in to see how everyone is doing. Oh yes, put her in Erdem.

Oh wait — it’s coming into view. British Vogue can tell the famous story in which Queen Elizabeth & Ghana President Nkrumah danced a ‘Diplomatic Foxtrot’ in Ghana. It was a highest level mission that required the Queen to persuade Nkrumah to favor Britain and not make an alliance with Russia.

Her Majesty succeeded splendidly. Come ‘on. You guys love that idea and we can give the world a history lesson at the same time.

Perhaps you can borrow a royal tiara for Tianna St. Louis to wear as the Queen. This was a huge story for AOC when I investigated this segment from ‘The Crown’.

Blumarine: An Italian Brand on the Move Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 AOC Fashion

These fall collection images by Teresa Ciocia and featuring Paula Anguera do Blumarine visual fashion-speak.

There is no doubt in our minds that expressed sensuality is on the move after a years-long slumber. A revamped and refreshed Blumarine can be a key player in that trend. ‘Gutsy’ is a word that Vogue used to describe Blumarine’s fall collection and the woman who wears it. This vision became clearer still for Spring 2022.

Lesley-Ann Brandt Will Star in New Series Set in South Africa District Six Ubuntu City AOC Fashion

South African actor Lesley-Ann Brandt is lensed by Angelo D’Agostino [IG] with a digital cover, for Numéro Netherlands [IG] November 2021. The ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Spartacus’ actor is partnering with Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary’s Revelations Entertainment on the development of a new drama series that takes viewers to Cape Town, South Africa’s District Six.

Brandt, who will star and produce with Adrian Cunningham of D6 Entertainment, said: “We are thrilled to have partnered with Lori, Morgan and the team at Revelations to bring the beauty and tragedy of District Six to life. It’s such a personal story to me, my family and the people of the Cape Flats. While the barbarity of the apartheid regime has featured onscreen before, Hanover Street will lean into the joy and solidarity that the community shared in the face of repression.”

Deadline explains: “Home to 60K residents of all ethnicities and creeds, along with a thriving LGBTQIA+ community, District Six in South Africa’s second-largest city stood as a symbol of defiance against everything that apartheid stood for. In 1966, the regime designated it a whites-only area. By 1982 its entire population had been forcibly removed, and the neighborhood destroyed.”

HTSI Magazine Adds a W for Wisely with Lena Hardt Posing in Sustainable Fashion AOC Fashion

How To Spend It . . . WISELY is the cover message of the magazine’s October 23, 2021 The Green Issue. Model Lena Hardt models fall’s finest conscious fashion from Bethany Williams, Chloé, Hermes, Ulla Johnson and more. Photographer Sasha Marro [IG] captures the green fashion investments, styled by Isabelle Kountoure in ‘All Things Considered.’./ Hair by Marion Anée; makeup by William Bartel

AOC so agrees with HTSI editor Jo Ellison’s perspective when she writes:

“Finding garments that are 100 per cent sustainable is still an unexpected challenge.”

Ellison is so much more diplomatic than AOC, citing “this week’s fashion editorial, which sought to use only recycled, sustainably made or upcycled textiles. . . . Putting together a shoot in which such criteria were mandatory was still far harder than might have been expected, despite much noise in the industry about trying to make things better.” ⁠

As I revealed in a post last week, Anne is becoming more urgently angry over this same challenge. We will never become as aggressive as PETA because we will drive away some of the top voices and creatives in fashion who read AOC. But there is no doubt, that impatience with sustainability promises will become more obvious on our website.
