Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales
/
Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers Los Angeles-based Flaunt Magazine’s [IG] 25th Anniversary issue. Crawford delivers an impressive fashion story shoot, styled by Mui-Hai Chu, in Bottega Veneta on the cover. Photographer Greg Swales [IG] is behind the lens.
Flaunt writes: “Cindy Crawford, one of the world’s first and most well-known supermodels, is a rare icon that represents the past, the present, and the future. As seen in the recent Apple TV docuseries ‘The Super Models’, Crawford has made a profession out of risk-taking and has successfully navigated an ever-changing world of fashion, modeling, and media.”
There’s a reason why so many top models love to work with Greg Swales. Having watched Crawford on video in a November 2024 event attached to Omega Watches, these images are very much what Crawford looks like today.
The California light is kind to human faces. What I like about Greg Swales’ images is that the closeups of older women’s faces are not overtouched.

Unadulterated Ignorance on Display
The lowest rung of the fashion commentariat put their ignorance on full display with regard to Linda’s scars reveal on one cover of Zeit.
When shooting a word gun at a human as a commentariat member, the saying goes “ready, aim, fire”. Part of “ready” involves asking yourself if this person really deserves to be metaphorically shot down by your comment. And do you have your facts in order?

/
Supermodel Bella Hadid returns to the limelight with these four covers for The Perfect Magazine [IG] Issue Six Spring/Summer 2024.
The shoot is inspired by an image of Debbie Harry performing in 1978, wearing as a dress a poster she had torn from the wall outside the venue.
Bella is wearing a Corbin Shaw tee ‘Screaming in Perfect English’ [above] on the fourth cover — and Corbin is a major source of inspo for the covers.
Anne began her day reflecting on the raw power of Charlamagne Tha God’s views on sitting out the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has called on all Muslim voters to not support US President Biden — to teach us all about ‘raw power’.
In this midst of the American political crisis, is the phrase ‘Raw Fashion Power’ to describe Bella. Is this a stupid comment, or is Bella taking a political side?

/
Actor, humanitarian, mother and global leader is profiled in the December 2023 issue of WSJ Magazine, with deeply personal photographs of Jolie wearing offerings from Atelier Jolie, shot by Annemarieke Van Drimmelen [IG] with styling by Tonne Goodman.
One of the most profound realities that she discussed with WSJ is her favorite people to spend time with.
“There’s a reason people who have been through hardship are also much more honest and much more connected, and I am more relaxed with them. Why do I like spending time with people who’ve survived and are refugees? They’ve confronted so much in life that it brings forward not just strength, but humanity.”
Anne of Carversville has trekked behind Jolie on all of her endeavors since 2007. She is the founding muse of this website — a reality that disturbs many men.
Many of them cannot stand Jolie, and I truly do not know why. Perhaps I should ask my AI assistant Lulu to investigate this question.

Schütz zeroes in on a key EmRata theme: " You thought you were a mind, but you're a body "
