LOEWE [IG] creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez introduce a series of images, captured by photographer Talia Chetrit [IG] as visual vibes of their approach to expressing the DNA of the LOEWE brand.
“This teaser stands as an opening gesture, the outset of a new dialogue,” the American designers and founders of the Proenza Schouler brand expressed. “The campaign begins to define a tone, a spirit, and the beginnings of an intent.”
The expressed sensuality is clear to the naked eye and it teeters on an expressed homoeroticism for an opening statement.

She initially planned for an ovary removal but accepted the doctor's recommendation for a complete removal of her reproductive organs as a precaution against future cancer growth, especially the highly-deadly ovarian cancer.

The Dries Van Noten FW 2025 Campaign Mines Opéra Garnier Aristocratic DNA
The Dries Van Noten Fall/Winter 2025 Campaign showcasing the first collection under new creative director Julian Klausner is shot by in-demand photographer Carlijn Jacobs [IG]. The location of the ‘Behind the Curtain’ Campaign is Opéra Garnier, located in The Palais Garnier and commissioned by Napolean III for the Paris Opera and built from 1861 to 1875.
Watching the fashion show video, it was obvious that the new Dries Van Noten collection embraced old Dries, but Klausner had also injected a new vibe into the collection that could only be his own.
As I noted on Tuesday in a deep dive into the Prada Galleria bag campaign, the ancient history of rituals goes far deeper than the pursuit of shiny hair while admiring ourselves in the mirror. Like Prada, the Dries Van Noten brand has credentials when the focus is rituals.
Having watched us trivialize the concept of duality into nothingness, I sincerely hope we don’t put the word ‘ritual’ through the same meat grinder.

Trump Administration Crackdown on Civil War and Slavery References Begins
The Trump administration has ordered the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks and other cultural institutions in an effort to end advocacy of corrosive ideologies in America.
At Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia, Trump officials told park employees to take down a sign that criticizes the post-Civil War “Lost Cause” ideology, saying that it romanticized the Confederacy and denied slavery’s central role in the conflict.
The National Portrait Gallery of Art in Washington houses the original version of “The Scourged Back,” also known as “Whipped Peter.” It’s also scheduled for removal.
AOC shares the life of Peter Gordon, aka ‘Whipped Peter’. His story and photos jolted northerners who had no idea that slavery could be so cruel.

AOC Delves into Sofia Coppola’s White World of Women
Hollywood actor Kirsten Dunst covers the September 2025 issue of Town & Country [IG], interviewed by Mickey Rapkin in ‘Cool Girl Colossus’. Dunst is styled by Deborah Afshani in images by Tina Tyrell [IG].
Late Emerging Criticism of Economic and Racial Realities in ‘Marie Antoinette’
While there was no serious race-related pushback against the film initially, over time Coppola’s preoccupation with a “privileged white woman’s problems” has become a source of criticism. Even agreeing that Marie Antoinette can be viewed universally, critics and students both insist that Coppola’s world of women is white and preferably rich.
In her Town & Country interview, Dunst reveals that she just finished reading a script for director Sofia Coppola’s latest film project.
Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola have collaborated on four feature films: The Virgin Suicides [1999], Marie Antoinette [2006], The Bling Ring [2013], and The Beguiled [2017]. Dunst starred in the first three films and had a cameo in the fourth.
