/
Model Mila van Eeten covers the December 2, 2023 issue of d Magazine from d la Repubblica, lensed by Nicola Delorme [IG] in ‘Halcyon’.
The choice of ‘Halcyon’ is not obvious. The month of December is portrayed as a time that’s idyllically happy and peaceful. Right now that seems like a fond memory.
We need the Greek definition, in AOC’s opinion. The halcyon bird had the power to calm rough ocean waves every December so that she could nest. It was she — and not humans —who brought a semblance of peace or tranquility to the world. Life could regenerate itself while she turned upright the human boat, sending it forward once more.

Tom Ford SS2024 Campaign Launches Zegna-Lauder March to Top 10 Luxury Brand
/
Tom Ford’s codes, “of glamour, sexiness, elegance, and beauty,” are embraced by promoted Tom Ford Creative Director Peter Hawkings as well, the designer told Vogue in advance of his September 2023 Milan Tom Ford runway debut.
In the just-released Spring 2024 Tom Ford ad campaign, the visual impact is Zegna with edge. Stars of the Tom Ford Spring 2024 campaign are Alaato Jazyper, Dara Gueye, Eva Komuves, Ilias Loopmans, and Jeanne Cadieu, lensed by Robin Galiegue [IG].
Tom Ford does not need fixing in the minds of Estee Lauder, the business tean at Zegna or Hawkings himself. In that case, who is better than Peter Hawkings to inherit the Tom Ford design mantle and not be obsessed with turning a design vision inside out to make it “his own.”

Prada Privatesphere Holiday 2023 Campaign Triggers Our Reflection on Elon Musk
/
AOC’s first reaction to these Prada holiday, model-focused images has nothing to do with buying gifts for friends and family this holiday season.
Prada and the Future of Humanity
Anne’s response was focused on a deeply-felt anxiety that she would feel so much better if Prada Group owned Starlink, X and SpaceX — rather than Elon Musk. The ‘l’enfant terrible’ with a massive daddy complex can keep Tesla.
“The constantly forward-thinking ethos of Prada for humanity has broadened to his desire of adventure and to brave new horizons: space,” Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group marketing director, stated with the announcement that Prada is partnering with Texas-based Axiom Space to design the lunar space suits for the hopefully-glorious 2025 Artemis III mission.
