Reading the translated interview in ELLE Espana, AOC learned that Arizona Muse, her husband, Boniface Verney-Carron, whom she married in 2017, Arizona’s son Nikko, and little Cy Quinn, 2, have moved to Ibiza.

AOC has written about Arizona Muse’s deep commitment to regenerative agriculture. The concept of regenerative agriculture involves a series of farming and grazing practices that rebuild soil organic matter as the foundation for rehabilitating and enhancing the entire ecosystem. Beyond its bedrock focus on soil, maintaining excellent practices in animal welfare and farm workers fairness are fully integrated into regenerative agriculture.

Forbes has an article tonight Regenerative Agriculture: The Next Trend In Food Retailing.

Arizona tells ELLE Espana’s Laura Somoza that her ambition is to be a farmer, and there’s a lot of regenerative agriculture in the Balearic area. “It is incredible what farmers are doing, reclaiming previously desert areas and turning them green again. It is exciting to see how it happens, and I want to be part of this movement.”

More Arizona Muse projects include founding her new charity ‘Dirt’ in June 2021, which sees farming as the future of sustainable fashion. Muse made the announcement coordinated with Sustainable Angle’s Future Fabrics Expo in London, an organization where Muse is a board member.

Arizona will be linking fashion brands to sustainability projects connected to regenerative farming. She notes that certification by Demeter will be required in any projects that she oversees in [another name] biodynamic farming.

In January 2021 Arizona Muse became Aveda’s first-ever global ambassador. She also is a Greenpeace ambassador and recently collaborated with Extinction Rebellion. Muse continues to work closely with Livia Firth, founder of Eco-Age. Call me inspired. ~ Anne

A Pregnant Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Talks RoseInc Beauty in Sunday Times Style

A Pregnant Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Talks RoseInc Beauty in Sunday Times Style AOC Fashion

One of America’s fav Brits Rosie Huntington-Whiteley covers the August 22 issue of The Sunday Times Style magazine. Photographer Sonia Szóstak [IG] captures Rosie, styled by Karla Gruszecka in the beauty queen’s preference for modern, neutral, fluid silhouettes.

The original reason behind Rosie’s feature in The Sunday Times is the launch of her beauty brand Rose inc featuring nine makeup and skin-care products, beauty brushes and reusable cotton pads. People can also sign up for early purchase access on RoseInc.com ahead of the August 24-26 sales period for Rose Inc.-registered members.

In America, Rosie’s beauty brand will be sold exclusively at Sephora and RoseInc.com. On August 27, Sephora Canada and SpaceNK in the U.K. live the former VS Angel’s beauty brand, with Australia joining the family at Mecca before year’s end.

Huntington-Whitely has carefully tended her beauty garden for the last two years, creating a relationship with her potential customer.

“We see a lot of people launching brands all the time. Some feel authentic, and some that don’t. There has to be that trust, authenticity and integrity built between you, your consumer and your audience,” Huntington-Whiteley said. “I wanted to build a site to get across my passion for beauty, to learn, to build a community — and I was also looking for the right partner to build our beauty brand with.”

That partner is Amyris Inc., the public company behind Biossance, Pipette and Costa Brazil.

Madonna and Family Celebrate Her 63 Birthday in Puglia Imaged by Ricardo Gomes

Madonna and Family Celebrate Her 63 Birthday in Puglia Imaged by Ricardo Gomes AOC Fashion

Madonna celebrated her 63rd birthday last week, hosting a birthday party in a deconsecrated, 6th-century Puglia church. Madonna’s frequent photographer and videographer Ricardo Gomes [IG] documented the event exclusively for Vogue Italia.

Madonna’s entire family was on hand to celebrate one of the world’s mystical goddesses, a woman who has a relationship with religion and spirituality that AOC relates to. Madonna has been photographed wearing religious iconography including cross pendants. Masks and headdresses are another favorite of the singer superstar, as she always probes the intersection of religion and sexuality.

Madonna’s children Lourdes Leon, Mercy James, Stelle and Estere Cicione, Roco Ritchie and David Banda joined the birthday party. Rita Melssen styles the shoot, which also includes actor Debi Mazar and Madonna’s boyfriend since late 2019, dancer Ahlamalik Williams. / Hair by Andy Lecompte; makeup by Aaron Henrikson

Selena Gomez on Helping Others, in Glam Images by Inez and Vinoodh for ELLE US

Shalom Harlow in Manhattan by David Roemer for Harper's Bazaar Spain September 2021 AOC Fashion

Mega talent Selena Gomez covers the September 2021 issue of ELLE US September 2021./ Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin [IG] capture ‘The Return of Selena with styling by Alex White./ Hair by Orlando White; hair by Orlando Pita

I wonder how Gomez feels about the intro to her cover story ‘The Return of Selena’ by Carina Chocano. The star may have a whole new vibe in these Inez and Vinoodh photographs but ELLE grounds her mostly in the past.

ELLE’s sub-headline: “After years battling health issues and heartbreak, Selena Gomez opens up about mental illness, her new Hulu series and not knowing her own Instagram password.”

Actually, Selena Gomez states the obvious about herself, with a far more timely and not narcissistic narrative. We’ve read about Gomez’s mental illness for years.. Given the times in which we are living, why not promote Selena’s message about herself, rather than rehashed, old-news editorial, click-bait.

Just because Google prioritizes Selena’s challenges with mental illness doesn’t mean we can’t give her a major update with our words. It’s not easy for people like Selena to move past prior challenges that would have brought down most of us — including ELLE’s headline writer.

“My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, going through very public heartbreaks—these were all things that honestly should have taken me down,” she says. Gomez speaks slowly and calmly, in a surprisingly low and uninflected register. “Every time I went through something, I was like, ‘What else? What else am I going to have to deal with?’ ” “ ‘You’re going to help people,’ ” she told herself. “That’s really what kept me going. There could have been a time when I wasn’t strong enough, and would have done something to hurt myself.”

We can all use some positivity, and Selena Gomez delivers it.
