Tár Star Cate Blanchett Covers AnOther Magazine SS2023, Lensed By Harley Weir

Tár Star Cate Blanchett Covers AnOther Magazine SS2023, Lensed By Harley Weir

Superstar actor Cate Blanchett returns, this time in AnOther Magazine’s Spring-Summer 2023 issue, lensed by Harley Weir [IG]. The actor is styled by Robbie Spencer in Alexander McQueen, Gabriela Hearst, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe, Steve O Smith, Y/Project and more.

Blanchett talks to The Argonauts author Maggie Nelson about power, ambiguity – and her award-winning performance as Lydia Tár. The highly-acclaimed film is struggling at the box office. And even some reviewers find the film to be a gut punch.

Marin Alsop is an American conductor, the first woman to win the Koussevitzky Prize for conducting and the first conductor to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship — the latter regarded to be in near-Nobel Prize prestige.

The Guardian writes: “Tár, the US conductor told the Sunday Times, was “anti-woman” and a personal affront. The film could have told the story of a rapacious male monster, but chose instead to make its lead a female conductor. “To have an opportunity to portray a woman in that role and to make her an abuser,” Alsop said. “For me, that was heartbreaking.”’

Blanchett is heavily favored to take a Best Actress Award for Tár at the Oscars. Cate has already locked down a Golden Globes Best Actress award and also a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Louis Vuitton SS 2023 Campaign with Hoyeon Jung and Cast by David Sims

South Korean ‘Squid Game’ actor and Louis Vuitton ambassador Hoyeon Jung plays with scale in the Spring 2023 campaign.

The campaign is fast and young — more than usual. The playhouse structure is modeled after Louis Vuitton’s historic home in Asnieres, located on the left bank of the river Seine, some eight kilometres from the center of Paris.

Today the home is called ‘La Galerie’, and it functions as a permanent exhibition space for Louis Vuitton.

The rest of the cast includes Elio Berenett, Franzisla Jetzek, Greta Oberwalleney, Killian Smits, Sarah Brown and Samile Bermannelli.

Frequent LV photographer David Sims [IG] is behind the lens, with styling by Marie-Amelie Sauve.

Naomi Campbell Covers Vogue India March-April 2023, Lensed by Campbell Addy

Naomi Campbell Covers Vogue India March-April 2023, Lensed by Campbell Addy

Supermodel Naomi Campbell covers the March-April 2023 issue of Vogue India. Kate Phelan styled the supermodel legend in rich images by Campbell Addy [IG].

Naomi wears major jewelry by Sabyasachi [IG] and fashion, too, throughout the images. Never has Campbell had a Vogue India cover, nor a solo fashion feature, even though she’s been coming to India since 1994.

“The second time that I ever travelled alone in my life [to India], I went to Trivandrum,” Naomi reveals to Shriya Zamindar. “I went there by myself in 2012 to learn about yoga. I saw yoga being done in all these different ways, for different purposes. But I specifically wanted to know how to find this triangle of peace,” she says to the photo shoot team. “I wanted to go to the source and teach myself. I stayed there for a month and put my phone in the safe. There were only two people who knew how to contact me. I immersed myself in the experience and I loved it.” 

Naomi Campbell’s mission in India has taken on a new focus. “I just launched my new initiative, EMERGE, in Qatar and we’re looking to bring it to India. It highlights young creatives and gives them a platform so that the world gets to see them,” she explains. “The concept is to invest in them and bring them to London and Milan, mixing them in where they should be. It’s about highlighting their work which doesn’t get highlighted.”

Sydney Sweeney's Film Nod to 'Reality' Winner's Truth Gets Rave, Rave Reviews in Berlin

Sydney Sweeney's Film Nod to 'Reality' Winner's Truth Gets Rave, Rave Reviews in Berlin

‘Euphoria’ star Sydney Sweeney is receiving raves for her role in the film ‘Reality’. Following the film’s premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on February 18, 2023 — and staggeringly positive reviews — HBO has moved to pickup distribution rights.

In 2018 Reality Winner, a former intelligence contractor for NSA, left her National Security Agency contractor’s office at the Fort Gordon army base in Georgia. In hand was a single intelligence report about Russian attempts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election that saw Donald J. Trump beat Hillary Clinton for the White House.

Tina Satter directed the film, based on the story of Reality Winner’s day that the FBI showed up at her door. This press conference video says much about the structure of the FBI investigation and ‘friendly’ confrontation with Winner at her home. The FBI interview is also discussed in the ‘60 Minutes’ video.

Actors Marchant Davis, Josh Hamilton, and Benny Elledge have roles in the film.

Kylie Jenner Covers Vanity Fair Italia March 1, 2023 Lensed by Luigi + Iango

Kylie Jenner Covers Vanity Fair Italia March 1, 2023 Lensed by Luigi + Iango

Kylie Jenner covers Vanity Fair Italia’s March 1, 2023 issue No. 9, styled by Anna Dello Russo in images by Luigi & Iango.

Simone Marchetti, who interviewed Madonna last month, talks topics from business to postpartum depression with Jenner in Kylie Jenner: the secret of K factor.

The Kardashian-Jenners entertained the world, while shaping its customs and habits, writes Matchetti. People can protest all they want about the Kardashians, and they can also turn them off. The fact that they won’t tells us more about them than the K-women, who have made a fortune off our addiction to them.

You don’t find AOC criticizing the Kardashian-Jenner women, because our values say we must criticize their followers at the same time. It’s the followers who are making them rich and famous.

Consider that they probably know more about the human psychology of Americans than any think tank in America. Granted, they are a global brand, but this IS an American story — and we can always turn it off.

Kaia Gerber's Big Hair Cotillion Reverie Lensed by Tyler Mitchell for i-D Magazine 371

Kaia Gerber's Big Hair Cotillion Reverie Lensed by Tyler Mitchell for i-D Magazine 371

AOC adores these poetic images of Kaia Gerber’s 1960s Coke-can curls. Other key words from this big-hair period in America are bouffant and the beehive.

We think that only southern girls from that era believed “The higher the hair, the closer to God”, and definitely in Georgia.

i-D Magazine’s March 2023 issue no. 371 ‘The Timeless Issue’ refers to channeling Old Hollywood in this fashion story styled by Alastair McKimm. Perhaps.

To AOC, it’s less grand than Old Hollywood but with the same aspirations. Kaia is Southern girl cotillion-ready. And Tyler, look at this gorgeous picture of a Black debutante ball.

You can see the fashion story at i-D, and order the issue.
