Nyaueth Riam in Spring's Best Accessories for London Times Style March 13, 2022

Nyaueth Riam in Spring's Best Accessories for London Times Style March 13, 2022 AOC Fashion

It’s a fact the most remote workers in America don’t want to return to the office — and for a multitude of reasons. Fashionistas are probably more inclined than most to get out of slouchy pants and into Spring 2022’s latest accessories, as leading members of the vanguard returning to work.

Style peacocks got an eyeful in this weekend’s The Sunday Times Style fashion story ‘Scene Stealers! The Eight Best Accessory Styles for Spring.’ They all pack a punch from Swarovski’s stackable jewel chokers in candy colors to Saint Laurent’s patent platforms. Wrist weights have gone glam, but don’t put them in your Fendi micro pouch.

The beautiful model Nyaueth Riam is styled by Henrik Lischke in Dior, Lauren Perrin, Miu Miu, Molly Goddard, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello and more. Photographer Santi de Hita [IG] is behind the lens for the March 13th issue of London’s Sunday Times Style.

Lara Stone Covers Vogue Poland March 2022, Lensed by EIC Ina Lekiewicz AOC Fashion

Top model Lara Stone is back in the pages of Vogue Poland, posing in a large fashion story ‘The Return Of An Icon’. Simply stated, that’s great news because Lara Stone is sorely missed in fashion world.

Always a woman shattering glass, Lara was among the first models to deal with being “too fat” to model in a patriarchal-values fashion world that prefers flat-chested women. The Dutch model was very comfortable expressing her sensuality at a time when fashion was ready to dial down the volume. We are moving out of that long, dark winter.

Lara married property developer David Grievson in July 2021. Lara Stone also covers the Vogue Czech March 2022 issue, lensed by Sonia Szostak and she appeared in Balmain’s SS 2022 campaign. Without a doubt, the 38-year-old sensual goddess is back!
