Lindsey Wixson clearly shared great energy with Elizaveta Porodina in shooting this ZARA South 2022 campaign. It follows our Thursday night post ofZARA’s new Kate Moss campaign for their ‘Into the Night’ and ‘Into the Classic’ collections. We have back-to-back wows from ZARA.
Oh yes, ZARA’s Parisian nights collections were created with former Vogue Paris EIC Emmanuelle Alt. Parisian glamour is verbotin in Vogue France these days, so it’s nice to see ZARA picking up the slack.

In a moment when we are under siege on every front of American politics and culture, the momentary visual getaway of ‘ON DE SENSUELLE’ is deeply appreciated.

AOC is not worried about “he, she, it, they, them . . . “ in this moment. We are focused on the American Taliban increasingly riding roughshod over all of us. No disrespect intended to pronouns.
