Milena Smit recently starred in Pedro Almodóvar’s critically-acclaimed ‘Parallel Mothers’, appearing with Penélope Cruz. A comparative newcomer to acting, Smit received a notice about her audition for a new film, without being told about the pedigrees of her fellow artists.
“And thank god the next audition was the final one with them, because if I had found out at the beginning what movie it was for, I don’t know if I would have done it so well,” Smit told Flaunt magazine.

Interviewed by Willa Bennett, Billie Eilish covers the Winter 2022 issue 29 of Highsnobiety magazine.
The fashion story spans luxury and streetwear, as Billie wears the “billowing” — silhouettes she is known for lensed by Davit Giorgadze [IG].
What Billie Eilish says in her new Highsnobiety interview reflects her own experience with the virgin/whore dichotomy.
“I think that people have taken me more seriously because I’ve had this more masculine [way of dressing] throughout my career,” she adds. “If I had been more feminine and girly, people would’ve been a lot less respectful of me.”

/
Silvia Draz [IG] uses her photographer skills to maximum impact in ‘Waterfall Effect’, with model Iggy Jacobsen. Noemie Schelbert styles Iggy in bright colors absorbed in the vastness of the Jungian, oceanic unconscious, associated with female nature and the female psyche.
Vogue Portugal’s October 2022 issue has been on my mind quite a lot.
You know how we have all these images of women diving into water for over a century?
Well, I want to see us rising out of the water like lightening bolts — diving upwards against the forces of gravity. I want women being fired out of the depths of darkness towards the sun as torch-bearers.

Actor Anya Taylor-Joy tells Harper’s Bazaar UK’s Frances Hedges that her makeup for the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa is the “juciest and bloodiest” of any she has worn in a movie.
“It will take me the full two years before the movie comes out to even begin to process what I just left 12 days ago. [Furiosa] was the most life-changing experience that I’ve ever had, with such talented artists. I really felt like I grew so much, but yes, it’s wild. It’s utterly unique,” Taylor-Joy told The Hollywood Reporter in another new interview.
The Dior ambassador wears ‘an equestian living in Seville’ wardrobe from the 2023 cruise collection, lensed by George Antoni.

/
Actor/director Olivia Wilde has received mixed reviews on her delivery of ‘Don’t Worry Darling’. The movie starring Florence Pugh, is set in Trumpian-style, 50’s domesticity — a bit of “The Stepford Wives,” a whole lot of “Mad Men” said reviews.
“No amount of internet bullying can cause me to question my belief in a movie made collectively by so many brilliant people. We worked too hard, and went through too much together, to be derailed by something that really has nothing to do with filmmaking.”

The movie, opening in theaters on December 23, is set during the industry’s wildest time.

Gisele has issued a statement that she is not dating Joaquim Valente and that the photos were cropped to ignore the fact that there were 6 adults and 8 kids on the outing.
Here, we’ve added Gisele in action, speaking about her classes at Valente Brothers:

I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let’s go!”

Lauren Wasser regularly forgets that she doesn’t have legs. "All the time," she says, laughing. "And my girlfriend forgets, my mother forgets... When I’m wearing trousers, you can’t even tell." In fact, her gleaming gold prosthetic limbs have become an integral part of her identity.
The Paris sitdown takes place exactly 10 years to the day since the golden girl Wasser was first hospitalised with toxic-shock syndrome [TSS]. The model went into organ failure, had a heart attack and underwent a double-leg amputation.
Lauren Wasser is back now as ‘the Girl with the Golden Legs’, working with luxury brands including closing the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2023 show in San Diego, Wasser’s birth place.

/
While we associate the campaign’s silvery blue mood with the sea, let’s also remember that Hanukkah begins Sunday, December 18 this year and ends on December 26.
Whether she intended to make a subliminal statement or not in the Tory Burch Holiday 2022 Campaign, I appreciate blue in this moment. It’s refreshingly ecumenical, when brands are exploring exactly what traditions mean within the context of today’s world.
Hands down, Ralph Lauren has no peer in this realm of recasting the truth of the American experience. But Tory Burch is traveling on the same moonbeam — with an added emphasis on women’s lives and achievements. I love her for that long and sincere contribution to telling women’s stories.
Kanye West and his desire to rip America apart as a MAGA lover — and now Hitler, too — has gotten people up off the sidelines.
That would NOT be AOC, btw. We are never on the sidelines, when the focus is stopping hate.

/
Until today, November 1, 2022, the worst news I’ve heard recently about the young Jewish hero Anne Frank was a book about her being swept into the book-banning insanity underway in Texas and across America.
Today’s news is a constellation of Anne Frank, Kanye West and far-right Swedish politician Rebecka Fallenkvist.
The Swede posted on Instagram about Anne Frank’s journal, with Kanye West’s ‘Praise God’ Music to accompany Fallenkvist’s words.
“Fifty pages in and so far Anne Frank has only struck me as debauched, the horniness itself,” Sweden Democrat (SD) Rebecka Fallenkvist wrote on Instagram.

/
Adut’s five-year rise from a South Sudan, Australian Refugee to REAL supermodel status is well known by now. Being a Global Ambassador for Estee Lauder, announced in June 2021, goes a long way in wearing the real-deal supernodel crown.
Adut’s career was launched when she closed the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2018 show in Paris. Many young people in fashion — or outsiders with lots to say — think the industry only turned towards models of color post-George Floyd and the rise of BLM.
This is not true. Demands for change and the topic of racism in the fashion industry was much discussed and acted upon before the brutal murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis.

Georgia Fowler speaks to her comfort level shooting with Nicole Bentley, and the creative synergy they experience because much trust exists between the two women. This is no surprise to Anne of Carversville because we’ve advocated for women photographers for over a decade.
There’s no guarantee about any trust-building relationship in the world of sexual identity and model/photographer. But few of us miss the days of highly-publicized, bad-boy photographer Terry Richardson running a digital diary in which young models — and older, too — dropped by his studio for sexy photos combined with snaps of Richardson’s sexual apparatus.
