Sporty & Rich Founder Emily Oberg In the Streetwear Passing Lane With Soho Store
/
“I do consider Sporty & Rich streetwear, but I also consider it a lifestyle and wellness brand,” Oberg is quoted by Vogue. “I’m trying to get out of the ‘streetwear’ lane because I feel it is very limiting—even Supreme’s business isn’t as strong as it once was because people are just shopping differently. The demand for logo-driven items is decreasing, so I want to expand and broaden the range.”
The spa facilities are very much “if you know, you know” and Oberg has no intention of putting a sign in the window. “Health is Wealth” is a core brand plank for Sporty & Rich — and very deeply embedded in in Emily Oberg’s personal DNA.

/
Model, actor, mother Laetitia Casta covers the August 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar France. Actually, the issue is devoted to her in a series of fashion stories.
In this story ‘Rue des Plaisires’, Casta is styled by Isabelle Sayer in images by Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG]. / Hair by Akemi Kishida; makeup by Cécile Paravina
In their introduction, Harper’s France [IG] captures much of Casta’s enigmatic personality:
“Laetitia Casta surprises, surprises herself, and pops up where she is the least expected. Insubordinate and disciplined, wild and faithful, exposed and discreet, wise and punk, obvious and enigmatic, principled and tolerant, she is a complex and fascinating whole. And it continues to fascinate. If there is a Laetitia Casta mystery and poetry, this issue comes as close as it gets.”

Model Tasha Tilberg is back in a denim-rich fashion world cover story for ELLE Italia. Barcelona-based Xavi Gordo [IG] is behind the lens.
I have the same response to this fashion story that I did eco-warrior Tasha Tilberg’s story for Fashion Canada April 2022. The clothes were great — and these denim clothes have terrific styling by Laura Seganti. But which are the sustainable choices?

/
Photographer Ekin Can Bayrakdar [IG] makes it very clear that color has an intense ride in his brain waves. He writes: “As you can see, I LOVE colour and try to use colours as strongly as possible.”
My brain is so sensitive to color that Bayrakdar’s fashion story “Splashes of Color” for the June 2023 issue of Vogue Arabia just derailed my morning reading plan.
Riding the Orange Moonbeam
My intention was to read: “Archaeologists Discover Entrance to the Zapotec Underworld Beneath a Church in Mexico” in Smithsonian’s Smart News. New scans of the site have confirmed the existence of an “underground labyrinth”, which the Catholic Church obliterated by not only closing it to generations of worshippers, but eliminating its secrets from human history.

On June 29, 2023 creative director Daniel Lee’s evolution of the Burberry brand continued with the opening of the renovated New Bond Street store in London.
The 22,000 sq m space stretching over three floors, has been transformed into a minimal, modern space with an with open-plan design.
It’s safe to say that in the area of store design, Burberry has met the 21st century, and there is nothing uniquely British about the interior environment.

Supermodel Imaan Hammam takes two covers for the August 2023 issue of ELLE USA. Imaan wears bralette and earrings from Fendi Couture above with a corset from New York Vintage. The second cover below features Imaan wearing an Armani Prive black gown with Van Cleef & Arpels necklace.
Leah Faye Cooper interviews Hammam in her Brooklyn apartment during Ramadan, explaining how 2023 is a year for her to connect more deeply with her Muslim faith. Imaan is not only fasting by day but also not working.
The very top model became an Estée Lauder Global Brand Ambassador in May, and she reports fainting on the set during Ramadan 2022. “They’d be having you doing so much on these shoots, girl. It’s like dancing, jumping around, running—and then there’s a room for TikTok, doing all these TikTok videos….”

Kendall Jenner and L’Oreal have shared the announcement that the top model and B-Corp entrepreneur has been named L’Oréal Paris’ newest global ambassador.
When Kendall shared her WSJ Magazine terrific images and interview early in June, AOC did extra homework to unearth the important to us — and I daresay L’Oreal — fact that Jenner’s 818 Tequila brand is a B-Corp.
Kendall’s first L’Oreal campaign will be in makeup, with a September 2023 launch. Both parties issued the expected press releases.
