The focus is not the health benefits of eating organic. Nor is it longevity tied to eating fruits and veggies. AOC feels a bit stupid trying to discover any meaning behind the visuals. The answer: lipstick shades!

Given the miraculous new innovations in biomaterials coming from MycoWorks (vegan leather from mushrooms) and Desserto (vegan leather from cactus), I thought we were about to break news of German innovation with this fashion beauty story. No such luckk, but now that we know it’s about lipstick, we get the message. Food art by Soren Westh.

Paloma Elsesser Dives Into H&M Sustainable Swimwear SS 2021 Lensed by Amber Grace Johnson

Global fashion powerhouse H&M delivers a physical and emotional power punch with its Spring Summer 2021 Swimwear campaign. Led by superwoman Paoma Elsesser, the campaign takes a deep dive into the terrain of unapologetically feminine strength with a cast that celebrates all body types and forms.

The brand comes straight at us with a definitive statement that’s light years away from the “flawless” messages (one of the most harmfull words in modern marketing in the opinion of AOC) of summers past.

Dive in & enjoy the silence

Hey, you! It's your summer, done your way. Don't let self-doubt, other people's opinions and negativity tag along. Dive into the water, swim away from the noise, follow your own voice, and come back recharged.
