Oriana Fallaci: The World’s Fearless Journalist
The early years of Oriana Falluci’s career, the late 1950s, when she was still called "the girl from the movies" working for ‘L'Europeo’ are not exposed widely in Italy or globally. This history is the focus of ‘Miss Fallaci Takes America’.
The idea for the TV series grew out of Italian/British writer director Alessandra Gonnella’s short film ‘A Cup of Coffee with Marilyn’, filmed in London in 2019. That short was based on the true story about a young Oriana Fallaci, living in America and chasing Marilyn Monroe for an interview in the 50s. The short film received wide exposure and recognition, especially in Italy where it was awarded the best fiction short film prize in 2020 by the Italian Union of Film Critics.

In Burberry’s Reinvention: Hope Springs Eternal
Burberry posted positive news in the third quarter ending Dec. 28, with a comparable store drop of 4%, compared with a business analysts forecast of 12%.
New Burberry CEO Joshua Schulman is credited with stemming the double-digit sales declines that defined the first half of 2024. As Schulman noted in a call with analysts, the American market, led by Burberry’s refurbished New York store resulted in a 4% increase Y2Y in America for the 3rd quarter.

"Fortunately, there are flowers,” Monsieur Dior once mused in his memoirs. His words now blossom in a spare, seemingly fragile and delicate beauty in Victoire de Castellane’s latest ‘La Rose Dior’ collection for Dior Joaillerie.

Model Nazarit Machin is styled by Alexander Fisher in ‘Earthly Delights’, an unpretentious, high jewelry story lensed by Thomas Rousset [IG].
These covetable jewelry pieces have deep roots in the natural world. Born with fluid shapes, from precious materials in rich colors, these pieces anchor their wearer as a queen of the outback, of remote destinations, hopefully a high priestess of efforts to preserve the divinity embedded in nature.
Model Georgina Stojiljkovic is styled by Oliver Volquardsen in a winter elegance fashion story ‘Georgina’ lensed by Javier Castán[IG] for Vogue Adria’s [IG] Winter 2025 issue.

Supermodel Edie Campbell [IG] is not only beloved at AOC. She makes Anne smile. It was Alice Walker who said “You can’t keep a good woman down,” and that’s our first response to Campbell’s Spring 2025 Etro Vela Bag campaign, where Edie hits a home run, while barely lifting her pinkie finger.
Etro designer Marco De Vincenzo’s Vela Bag has a lot of appeal.
The new campaign is a repeat performance from Etro Vela’s Fall 2024 images, also shot by Giampaolo Sgura [IG] and styled by Simon Rutigliano. Edie’s visually-intense hair is by Pier Paolo Lai with makeup by Luca Cianciolo.

The iconic Baywatch star is reclaiming her narrative with a late career rebirth, starring in Gia Coppola’s ‘The Last Showgirl’.
As the ELLE.com headlines confirm, one of the most inspiring ‘older’ women out there — when we’re scoring on intelligence and wit, business savvy, beauty and raw, natural sensuality — Martha Stewart enters the convo for Pamela Anderson Gets Her Flowers from Martha Stewart.
The two dames discuss bread and Anderson’s great sourdough starter . . . it has a name . . . ‘Astrid Viking Warrior Princess’.
Kim Kardashian says that "Every Skims campaign is designed to be iconic, and Rosé [Park] embodies that perfectly," before continuing . . . "Her elegance and energy are unmatched, and she's the ultimate Valentine for 2025."
This is a celebrity-fronted, lingerie campaign with the lovely, charming Rosé. It goes on sale at SKIMS January 23 at 12pm ET.
As much as AOC loves Louis Vuitton [IG], their ad campaigns can be ho-hum. The Spring 2025 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel [IG] with Louis Vuitton ambassadors Blackpink’s Lisa and actor Ronan Saoirse, is indeed worthy of fashion’s largest, omnipotent luxury brand.
Few luxury houses are associated with an illustrious name like The Fondation Louis Vuitton, the prominent art museum and cultural center located in Paris in the Bois de Boulogne.
Placing two gifted women artists like Lisa and Ronan, who are also Nicolas Ghesquière muses, in the presence of French conceptual artist Laurent Grasso’s artwork for a campaign shot by one of the world’s most celebrated fashion photographers Steven Meisel is a truly definitive statement for the Louis Vuitton Spring 2025 campaign.
The February 2025 issue of Vogue Spain [IG] is on location in Benidorm, sharing their cover fashion story starring Iris Law wearing Miu Miu on the cover in an issue dedicated to resort and early-spring, warm-weather getaway clothes . . . in an issue dedicated to the ‘triumph of the weird girls’..
