Gisele has issued a statement that she is not dating Joaquim Valente and that the photos were cropped to ignore the fact that there were 6 adults and 8 kids on the outing.
Here, we’ve added Gisele in action, speaking about her classes at Valente Brothers:
“I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the better. I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense. I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let’s go!”
Lauren Wasser regularly forgets that she doesn’t have legs. "All the time," she says, laughing. "And my girlfriend forgets, my mother forgets... When I’m wearing trousers, you can’t even tell." In fact, her gleaming gold prosthetic limbs have become an integral part of her identity.
The Paris sitdown takes place exactly 10 years to the day since the golden girl Wasser was first hospitalised with toxic-shock syndrome [TSS]. The model went into organ failure, had a heart attack and underwent a double-leg amputation.
Lauren Wasser is back now as ‘the Girl with the Golden Legs’, working with luxury brands including closing the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2023 show in San Diego, Wasser’s birth place.
Leather and sequins, feathers, metal and rhinestones — a wealth of accessories assume new positions in surreal curiosities that become surreal tableaus with an old masters vibe. Who better to capture models Mona Tougaard and Guinevere Van Seenus than Paolo Roversi.

We don’t know if Kanye West is referring to the Illuminati in his latest rant that began Friday night. Note that The Root raised the question. But the fact that he spoke about his own colleages — some of them already associated with the Illuminati — suggests that this is the secret society Kanye is ranting about.
Last night West began calling out people by name who he says are currently “under control” by unnamed powers. “They can’t control me, you know what I’m saying,” West begins. “They can control Shaq, they can control Charles Barkley, they can control LeBron James.
“They can control Jay-Z and Beyonce,” West said. “But they can’t control me. Ain’t no name I won’t name. It’s up.”
It got worse, when West began speaking on Hollywood “sacrifices” — including the death of his mother Donda West.
Fendi [IG] has popped into New York City for a holiday celebration of the Winter Capsule 2022 - 25th Anniversary Baguette Collection. Located at 90 Prince Street in Soho, the shop will be open until December 23.
Created by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, the baguette bag became a phenom attached to Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘Sex and the City’, who famously said “This is not a bag—it’s a Baguette.”
In addition to providing color inspo, the LVMH Tiffany & Co brand was brought into the anniversary celebration to provide diamond baguettes for the Fendi baguettes. The constant cross-pollination of the LVMH brands always adds an extra bit of verve to these events.

For this year's campaign, Versace worked in collaboration with Franco Maria Ricci[IG], the art books publisher of the original 'Versace Teatro' books.

If you haven’t seen the Dior 2023 Cruise show, it was magnificent. Just spectacular. The video is on this link.
Model Eden Kassner is styled by Kasia Mioduska in photographer Fanny Latour-Lambert’s [IG] second fashion story ’En Vogue’ for Vogue Poland’s November 2022 issue. It’s impressive how visually different the stories are — another skill set in today’s challenging media environment.
Models Ireen and photographer An Le [IG] team up in Balmain Accessories FW 2022, with makeup by Kali Kennedy.
Leaving handbags and accessories behind, Ireen is joined by BabacarN’doye to pose in key, protective ready-to-wear outfits, inspired by body armor, tactical gear, protective wear, compression pads—to illustrate a theme personal to Olivier Rousteing and connected to the fire in his apartment that burned him personally. An Le again brings the Fall 2022 campaign into focus.
Anne here. The good news is that the book — made into a film — ‘Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America’ did arrive. NBA Nets star Kyrie Irving, with backup from Kanye West, did put the book in overdrive.
For me, I want the book, because Anne is not interested in research with no footnotes — or an ability to pause and Google a statement just made, against other research resources. This is how I read most books.
Kanye’s statement that he has never read a book is ironic. Ye compared reading books to eating brussel sprouts, while owning a school Donda Academy. Kanye’s school is now closed due to his antisemitism and the rebuke and resignations by Jews involved with Donda Academy’s curriculum development.

The new fragrance boutique at Bergdorf Goodman showcases the full collection of LOEWE Botanical Rainbow fragrances and the LOEWE Home Scents range.
Center stage in the installation is fine art such as an installation of Japanese artist Kunié Sugiura’s conceptual photo-painting artwork ‘Mum Above Orange’ (1978).
In August, 2022 Anne of Carversville took a deep dive into the world of LOEWE Perfumes with a special focus on parfumer Nuria Cruelle’s background and fragrance philosophy.
It’s almost as if the LOEWE images are speaking to us directly, with no intermediary in this brand relationship. The approach feels so very private and personal. Cruelle uses the phrase “modern equlibrium’, and it resonates.
