Ferrari Fall -Winter 2023 Campaign Shot by Heji Shin Is Not So Quiet, Modern Luxury

Ferrari has released its Fall 2023 campaign by Creative Director Rocco Iannone. German photographer born in Seoul Heji Shin [IG] turns her focus to models/influencer Anthi Fakidari, Chloe Oh, and Jean Carlo Leon, in images styled by Jacob K. / Hair by Franco Gobbi; makeup by Arianna Cattarin

The luxury car sector is nearly twice as large as the luxury personal goods category, according to Anita Balchandani, senior partner at management consultancy McKinsey, who leads on fashion and luxury in EMEA [Europe, the Middle East and Africa.] She is among the marketing experts who believes that Ferrari can become a luxury lifestyle brand.

“My motors have a soul,” said Enzo Ferrari famously.

If customers support the ‘spirit’ of their Ferrari supercars, and with a quiet laugh, consider them treasured members of the family, this is a quiet luxury power to be harnessed — even if we’re looking at a Formula One racing car.

Priscilla Presley is the focus of the younger Coppola’s new film Priscilla, in theaters November 3.

Millions of women can relate to the director’s reflection about her own young woman’s life. Pining for a young man who wasn’t interested in her, Coppola says she can relate to Priscilla’s short-term lack of need to develop her own self-identity because it was so much easier to be the girlfriend of some guy and assume his identity.

Polo Ralph Lauren Fall 2023 Campaign by Richard Phibbs | AOC on Color Barriers in Education

Polo Ralph Lauren Fall 2023 Campaign by Richard Phibbs | AOC on Color Barriers in Education

As an American — and long before I launched Anne of Carversville in 2007 — Ralph Lauren represented the American dream to me. Lauren has successfully woven America’s stories into the very fabric of his brand, creating a unique narrative like no other American designer.

Today, an older, wiser, and a more empathetic Ralph Lauren stands at the crossroads of American democracy. In the same moment, I am pouring over the details of American history on a daily basis and grabbing every creative opportunity to talk about them.

When you put Polo Ralph Lauren together with Richard Phibbs [IG] as photographer, Anne’s day is derailed as I decide what to write. Poor Phibbs. He always inspires deep thinking at AOC.

AOC totally supports taking some liberties with campaign visuals, but I also sense an obligation for AOC to share facts of history along the way. Ralph Lauren has mastered this art of visual inclusivity and Richard Phibbs has some of the keenest instincts I know about when taking this path of “how history could have been if only there were more of us and fewer of them.”

Metamorphosis and Goddess Beauty Transformation in Harper's Bazaar Qatar Fall 2023

Harper’s Bazaar Qatar Autumn 2023 writes about these exquisite images by Dubai-based photographer Mattia Holm [IG] that the power of makeup is transformative.

Model Moon Choi is styled by Nata Bocha in a series of mythical, resplendent underwater-creatures images that extend far beyond beauty and makeup into fashion and jewelry. / Hair by Niko Weddle; makeup by Mitch Yoshida

Anne of Carversville is comfortable diving into the loss of power and influence for women, with the rise of Christian monotheism and the obliteration of the history of goddess worship from earlier Sumerian culture, as well as later Greek and Roman cultures.

We are more reticient to write about pre-Islamic cultures in Arabia or to navigate the identity dynamics between Egyptians and Arabs in any discussion of goddesses. Today we share the names and brief history of three Arab goddesses: Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat.

Massimo Dutti Limited Edition FW 2023 Collection Campaign Shot by Colin Dodgson

Massimo Dutti Limited Edition FW 2023 Collection Campaign Shot by Colin Dodgson

Massimo Dutti chooses Villa Cavrois as the site of its Limited Edition Fall-Winter 2023 Collection campaign.

AOC isn’t prepared to make the case for the influence of Italian futurism in the campaign. But the film supporting the Massimo Dutti campaign with models Rebecca Leigh Longendyke, Ji Shun, Ylang Messenguiral, and Cyrielle Lalande has a very self-absorbed intellectualism.

Colin Dodgson [IG] is the photographer, with film direction by MartinSalvador Studio [IG].

This campaign is fascinatingly well done in AOC’s opinion. I’ll be thinking about it. ~ Anne
