Did luxury house Chanel know that America’s Artemis 1 mission was headed to the moon when their holiday campaign ‘Once Upon a Moon’ was released? Probably not, as our Artemis 1 mission roared high into the sky two months behind schedule. Still, the timing ended up being perfect.
The Beauty campaign has the Eiffel Tower lifting off like Artemis, becoming a cool rocket rising into the Parisian night sky.

1) Artistic photographer Tim Walker flashed 'Portrait of a Lady', a brilliant cultural fixation on all things womanly and especially women's breasts -- the bigger the better unless you are a fashion model. In that case, the French preferences rule.

Victoria Secret’s model and Armani Beauty ambassador Valentina Sampaio graces the pages of Vogue Scandinavia’s December 2022 issue, lensed by New York-based Lea Winkler [IG]/ Hair by Rutger; makeup by Hung Vanngo
AOC tries not to identify Valentina as a transgender model at every turn. And we do believe there’s some major hype in the title of her Vogue Scandi interview. But Sampaio is certainly advancing her career with high profile alliances, including continuing on with Victoria’s Secret, when Razek got the boot. Armani is a real feather in Valentina’s cap.

But you can call her helpline at 1-800-485-5399. Come on, play along. Give the grinch a rest.

Supermodel Carolyn Murphy covers the December 2022 issue of ELLE France. As photographer Boo Georgenotes on his IG, the image above is “the cover that got away”. Below is the actual cover image. No further comment on that decision!
AOC really tries not to get personal or in the weeds technically on other people’s work, except to add high praise where deserved. Anne Marie Brouillet styles Carolyn in these preview images.
Model Assa Baradji joins the beauty feast that defines the print issue of Harper’s Bazaar Italia’s December 2022 issue. Sissy Vian styles French mode Baradji in images by Melanie + Ramon [IG].
