Top models Ugbad and Mona Tougaard cover the August 2022 issue of Vogue France, styled by Carlos Nazario in images by Luis Alberto Rodriguez [IG]. The following words come from Rodriguez:
“On a sunny afternoon in Paris with Sade's 'Pearls' as our soundtrack, I came together with these gorgeous people to create a moment of solidarity and representation. It's the first time a hijab has graced the cover of these particular pages and I'm proud to have this be my very first Vogue cover. Hopefully, together we move the needle towards a future where inclusion is not a revolutionary act.”

Legendary 1990s supermodel Kate Moss was recently named the new creative director of Diet Coke. The brand says it tapped her for her “unique aesthetic and style”, a heritage Moss owned as she delivered four limited edition cans of Diet Coke in London this week.
LOL. Kate Moss is a good little woman, though. Or perhaps Cobb is really special. “during our chat, she keeps my glass of water filled with ice, running back to an American-sized fridge” . .
Yes, yes . . . there’s plenty of Diet Coke in the refrigerator. Cobb spies it chilling there. Wait . . . oh wait . . . Kate Moss “struggles to open the door.” LOL. How old is this guy? I expect him to jump up and save Kate from the big, bad fridge any minute. She is a real-deal damsel in distress.

Graobe Marie-Noelle has a long list of agency credits on her IG, but this is the first fashion shoot that taps into her photogenic possibilities. Perhaps Vogue Arabia editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut can help her, as British Vogue’s Edward Enninful has helped so many young models. She deserves a portfolio that demonstrates her range of capabilities — and I’m not looking at it, based on her IG.

In the world of bags, the luxury buyer has many to choose from. I chose these two brands — Golden Goose and Celine — not for the cool factor, but to speak to their brand DNA. Reality is that when one is spending many hundreds or thousands of dollars for a bag or leather accessory, the 2022 customer is more eager than ever before to know the story behind the brand, the ethics and sustainability initiatives employed by the owners, and how the brand reflects us — the buyers.
