Abbey Lee joins the fashion caravan of cover stars for POP Magazine’s [IG] Issue 49, Autumn/Winter 2023. Ursina Gysi styles Abbey Lee in a big range of fashion looks that make a cohesive style statement lensed by Charlotte Wales [IG].
Models Biliny Mabil, Gedeon Dapsia, and Yujin Sim demand our visual attention — and get it — in ‘Head over Heels’, an exuberant fashion story styled by Imruh Asha in a long list of luxury labels.
The Dazed Magazine [IG] Autumn 2023 issue fashion story is lensed by Yis Kid [IG].
This ‘daring’ fashion story featuring model Madison Headrick is presumably heavily-funded by Tiffany, and absolutely approved by them. They have worked together previously, but this collaboration devoted to the Tiffany Lock and Tiffany Knot collections is pure brilliance. Anne will explain.
The arrival of Hector Muelas at Tiffany & Co this week, and now this very racy, divinely-sensual Madison Headrick fashion story lensed by David Roemer [IG] reaffirms my understanding of a top-level LVMH strategy in marketing to a progressive, younger, monied clientele.
My point in is not to compare Headrick Nahmad to Richie Grainge. Both young women are successful on their own.
Model Jean Campbell is living proof that the Burberry fall collection is recognizable anywhere. The September 17, 2023 issue of Sunday Times Style [IG] devotes the cover and two interior shots to the color-saturated, big-smile, Burberry twist on printed animals.

Barcelona-based photographer Xavi Gordo [IG] turns his lens to rising model Polina Rudenko in a fall fashion story ‘Valley Girl’ for ELLE Italia [IG] September 14, 2023.
Laura Seganti styles Rudenko in a luxe but ordinary, casual mix of fashion choices. Thinking minds understand that “outdoors” pleasures may not last forever, with an increasingly fragile mother earth.
The $5 billion market cap Bruno Cucinelli brand story is taking a major step forward with the launch of Brunello Cucinelli Parfums for women and men.

Fronted by a beautiful campaign captured by Hunter & Gatti [IG], models Arizona Muse and James Turlington star in the campaign, joined by an expanded cast. The campaign, shot in Solomeo and Val d’Orcia in Tuscany, celebrates dreamers and their hopeful, visionary spirits.

Louis Vuitton is launching a podcast with popular French fashion journalist, documentary maker and YouTuber Loïc Prigent. Called ‘Louis Vuitton Extended’, the podcast will dive deeper into the scenes of what’s happening behind the scenes at one of the world’s premier luxury houses. That Prigent-guided conversation includes the house’s cultural codes, values and activism.
In the case of Louis Vuitton Men’s creative director Pharrell Williams, the dialogue will focus on the June 20, 2023 show and all the decisions made around its structure and content.
Hector Muelas is now Chief Brand Creative Director of Tiffany & Co.
Muelas arrives at Tiffany & Co with a storied resume that includes positions at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Rimowa, Apple, Creative Artists Agency, Donna Karan International, Vice Media and more. Muelas joined Expedia Group as senior vice president of global marketing and creative in 2021.
At Rimowa, Muelas held the same title of Chief Brand Creative Director and would have worked with Alexandre Arnault, who was CEO of Rimowa at age 28. The youngest Arnault — and a prodigious business talent — is now Executive Vice President of Product and Communications at Tiffany & Co.

Esteemed actor Helen Mirren is not accustomed to being the center of controversy. But she knew that criticism of her decision to play the plum role of world leader Golda Meir, the founding first and only woman leader of Israel’s history, was certain to invite controversy. Mirren is not Jewish and she has called the criticism of her being tapped by Oscar winner Guy Nattiv to play the lead in ‘Golda’ as “utterly legitimate”.
‘Golda’s focus is the 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in October 1973.
The film is in theaters and online now, released on August 25 and with a modest box office of $4.4 worldwide.

Canadian-Ukrainian fashion model goddess Daria Werbowy has been sorely missed since she left fashion modeling in 2016.
Daria is set to return to fashion world — on her terms and ONLY on her terms. Phoebe Philo’s eponymous new label, due to launch in September but not with a runway show, delivers a long-anticipated re-pairing of artist and muse.
Apparently, Daria Werbowy is also part of the Gucci relaunch. In these new images, the model and muse is seen in the chunky gold Gucci Marina Chain jewelry, magnifying an archival motif inspired by the maritime world.
It’s expected that Daria Werbowy will be the face of a larger fashion campaign, beyond this jewelry release photographed in Los Angeles at Chateau Marmont by David Sims [IG], with styling by Alastair McKimm.
Anne of Carversville doesn’t have current Daria Werbowy archives, but we’re spending a lot of time reassembling her best work in our very successful project of refreshing archives pre-2020. Note that these redone archives aren’t in chronological order.
Top model Winnie Harlow delivers the Stylist UK Fall Fashion 2023 cover story with cast perfection. Closeup, so we can actually see the fashion.
Photographer Jason Kim [IG] creates beautifully saturated, but not shrill, images that anchor us in a sense of place and Sunday-best style mood.
The fashion story is so simple and direct, and does an elevated job of saying “buy me”. Winnie is styled fashion director Lucy Reber with a nod to Stylist UK editor Alix Walker.
British-born Chioma Nnadi will succeed Edward Enninful at British Vogue, operating under the title 'Head of Editorial Content'.
Vogue US editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is also Condé Nast global chief content officer and this change solidifies her control of Condé Nast global content worldwide.
He arrived in the U.K. from Nigeria in 1964 to study economics. Soon after, Nigeria was ravaged by a civil war that pitted the government against Biafra, the secessionist state where Nnadi’s father was born.
Rising model Awet Aleu makes an arresting appearance in the pages of Blanc Magazine’s [IG] Hot Like Fire Issue 23. The Buffalo, NY native first walked for Saint Laurent in summer 2022.

The field of Burberry winter 2023 purple roses popping into the first floor of Seoul’s Shinsegae Department Store's Gangnam branch is a feast for our psilocybin-loving eyes.
This new Burberry pop-up in Seoul is sophisticated, charming in a totally-modern way and also a reflection of ‘restrained psychedelic design’. There is nothing ‘flashy’ about the visual design. It beckons us, however to explore the shop — which is a key attribute of a successful pop-up.
‘Restrained Psychedelic Design’
Magic mushrooms inspired profound introspection and spiritual connections long before the rise of monotheism.
In a world where psilocybin use is coming at us in a profound and urgent way — after a Nixon-administration 50-year ban — my reaction to the Burberry purple roses display was instantaneous.
My memory was transported to my own use of psilocybin and a dark night walk I took, eventually sitting down next to a flower bed on my own lawn.
