Grandeur and opulence with an imperial vibe arrives in the November 2022 pages of British Vogue [and Vogue Global] as a fashion story ‘Treasure Island’.

Sarr-Jamois’ south London apartment was featured in Vogue UK online in June 2022. She was born in London, daughter of a French ‘mum’ and a Senegalese father.
The talented stylist spoke to issues of racism in the days after the murder of George Floyd — a crime that Kanye West [legally known as Ye and shortly the owner of right-wing social media site Parler] now denies even happened.
Without naming her client, Bella did ruminate in a recent interview on the contained backlash she received this year about her new role as the Swarovski ambassador.
Bella’s pro-Palestinian, perceived as anti-Israeli posts on IG, created pushback by some Israeli jewelry stores and dealers against Swarovski.
Last week, Bella Hadid did not specifically call out Kanye West, but she noted on Instagram that it would be a “disservice” to herself and her loved ones if she did not “speak up.” She went on to specifically condemn antisemitism and the “things” that have been shared about it recently on “public platforms”.
“To allow any form of antisemitism to slip by, as desensitized as the world has become, it would be a disservice to my friends, the families I have grown up with, the people I love and work with, myself, and even the Palestinian cause as a whole,” she wrote.
She then emphasised that her Palestinian community does not stand for “hatred or violence,” adding that anti-Semitic social media posts “will never be okay”.
Top model Grace Elizabeth pursues a fantastical state of mind with an eclectic dissonance prompting notes of fashionable absurdity, styled by Anastasia Barbieri.

AOC shares ‘Born to Rewild’ with model Heather Kemesky, who channels the spirit of Fay Godwin, photographed by Josh Shinner [IG].
“This story was based on one of my favourite photographers, the often (and sadly) overlooked Fay Godwin. She was an incredible woman, stomping around the Scottish Highlands in her big coats and thick jumpers with her tripod and Hasselblad, taking landscape pictures that are every bit as brilliant as those of Ansel Adams and co. I urge you to take a trip down a discovery wormhole this weekend…”
Seoul photographer Cho Gi-Seok [IG] produces ‘Wind, Fields, Cliffs and Waves. And HoYeon Jung.’ a beautiful fashion story starring ‘Squid Game’ star and Louis Vuitton ambassador since October 2021 HoYeon Jung. Kihoh Sohn and Eunji Shin style the star for Vogue Korea October 2022.

In addition to being made from certified recycled gold, every piece of jewelry in the collection will be fully traceable, thanks to blockchain technology. Every purchase will be traceable by logging into the Aura Blockchain Consortium.
The Prada Eternal Gold collection is very modern a 100 percent recycled collection that pushes category boundaries. Amanda Gorman came to Prada’s attention, not because of her 2021 Inaugural Poem, but because of her environmental activism.
Supermodel Heidi Klum and daughter Leni launch Intimissimi Lingerie’s Fall 2022 campaign. Photographer Derek KettelaIG] photographs the duo wearing lavish lace balconette bras and panties, with creative direction by Thomas Hayo.
The campaign video sums up the magic relationship between the two women. And I truly hope that right-wing evangelicals — or even Kanye West, legally known as Ye — don’t start trouble around the lovely Intimissimi imagery. Their minds are so perverted at this point that we can’t take anything for granted.
Models Gemma Francis-Burnett and Ava Barbieri are styled by Hortense Manga in a ‘Once Upon a Time the Denim’, a country women, modest fashion story. Photographer Boo George [IG] captures the two hearty souls for ELLE France October 13, 2022./ Hair by Jean-Luc Amarin; makeup by Kanako Yoshida

Next up? Marvel’s ‘Madame Web’. “I fought for the character,” Sweeney says of the role. “It’s been a really incredible journey that I’m very, very excited to be a part of.”
Sony has zipped lips on ‘Madame Web’s’ storyline. Dakota Johnson is in the lead role, with Celeste O'Connor, Emma Roberts and Isabela Merced also joining the cast with Sweeney..
Supermodel Edie Campbell is looking simply marvelous this fall 2022 fashion season, delivering one Grade A fashion story after another in 2022. Posing in V Magazine 138: The Sound of V issue, Campbell gives ‘Back to Black’ a fresh upgrade.
Photographer Nathaniel Goldberg [IG] is behind the lens, capturing Edie in images that are as much actor as top model. The sophisticated but infectious Edie vibe feels very of the moment — a commanding and stark presence that owns the camera and the space in which she stands.
Aussie fashion brand Zimmermann presents its Resort 2023 collection in a new campaign called ‘High Tide’. Romy Frydman styled American top model Grace Elizabeth in expected boho femininity looks lensed by Benny Horne in shallow waters at Caletta de Palafrugell, Spain.
Indiana’s public news media WFYI reports that Attorney General Todd Rokita “came to the defense” of rapper Ye, known to the world by his former name of Kanye West. Roika wrote: “The constant hypocrisy from the media is at an all-time high. They have now gone after Kanye for his new fashion line, his independent thinking, & for having opposing thoughts from the norm of Hollywood.”
AOC notes that in an exclusively numerical overview, Jewish people have a much larger presence in Hollywood, as it relates to their percent of the total American population, about 2.4% of American adults.
Our current focus is AG Rokita defending Kanye West’s vitriolic anti-Semitism that was expressed before his recent social media posts. In new information that broke Oct. 12, JP Morgan bank told Kanye West that they would no longer be his banker, giving him a month to move his money out of the institution.
Photographers Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi [IG] are launching a new Digital Creative Platform {IG] Double Vision.
There’s not a lot of information this moment, but the early images of Anok Yai [IG] — featured here — and Binx Walton [coming] are PHENOMENAL!! AOC borrowed this descriptor but we haven’t used the word — perhaps not even once a year. Five times since 2007. It’s a word that should be reserved for true drop, dead imagery.
Call us glossy superficial, but these images are supermodel status. Yes, with a nod to Naomi. However this project unfolds, AOC will be promoting it.

It was on Twitter where, early Sunday morning, West posted the unambiguous message heard around the world.
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wroteearly Sunday morning in a Tweet that got him banned by Twitter and apparently with the knowledge of Elon Musk.
