Katy O'Kane by Sam Spence for Vogue Portugal November 2021 Sustainability Issue AOC Fashion
Vogue Portugal releases their November 2021 ‘No Comments’ issue, centered around sustainability and the recent climate change global summit in Glasgow, Scotland — COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference. The words ‘No Comments’ are to be taken literally in an issue devoted to images without text in the form of commentary. .Within the pages, it’s the reader feeling the power of these images and also the one empowered to comment on them.
In these images model Katy O’Kane is styled by Carlee Wallace in ‘“Quarteto Fantástico’ lensed by Sam Spence [IG].
Model Malika El Maslouhi puts some serious energy into the weekend’s Sunday Times Style Magazine UK cover story featuring ‘Bring it on!’ . The spirit is joy and movement with a focus on “272 luxury gifts you’ll really, really want.” Verity Parker styles El Maslouhi in bold-colors clothes lensed by Giampaolo Sgura [IG]. /Executive producer Leila Hartley; hair by Franco Gobbi; makeup by Cosetta Giorgietti
El Maslouhi’s poses reminds us that scientific evidence is mounting around the ways that moving our bodies changes our brains and helps enormously with stress management, both short-term and long. If joy is in fashion’s current mindset, the science around possessions and well-being or happiness remains murky. In fact, science delineates between well-being and happiness, on the topic of material wealth.
The reasons why body movement and exercise improve brain health and positivity are not definitely clear either. But all science agrees that movement is attached to joy and a positive mental outlook, whether resulting from stress management, that elusive endorphin-rush you read about or both.

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.”
