Italian Maison Acqua Di Parma, a member of the LVMH family of artisans and artists-inspired maisons, brings its Italian heritage and Milanese creativity to Seoul with the Acqua di Parma Yellow Café. The design by Dorothée Meilichzon fuses Italian charm with the dynamic spirit of Seoul.
Located at Lotte Avenuel Jamsil B1F, Acqua di Parma Yellow Café is much more than a café, proposing an immersion into the Maison’s unique aesthetic and heritage.
Indeed, you are seeing a ‘wavy plate’ on a shelf [below] in Seoul’s new Acqua di Parma Yellow Café. If you seek a concrete signal about the hoped-for evolution of the new cafe in Seoul, recall the March 2022 pop-up in Milan for the brand’s new fragrance Colonia CLUB.

Read MoreCan LVMH Write the Book on Developing Human Potential in Brands and Businesses?
/
The more AOC studies LVMH from every angle, the more impressive the organization becomes. I’ve been researching ways in which LVMH has addressed the philosophy of humanism. The concept flourishes across the maisons, and it seems that great care is given to developing both the executives and the artisans.
Fundamental to the maisons is a similar vision for how the brands interact with their clients — and not only their elite-class clients. LVMH plants deep, dynamic forests for their brands.
As everyone says, LVMH moves fast, but it’s also the case that huge mistakes are avoided because of a culture of deep roots and also deep knowledge about the humans who work in their businesses.

Nicole Kidman's Killer Instinct Knows Few Rules in Vogue Australia by Steven Klein
/
Nicole Kidman makes her ninth appearance on the cover of Vogue Australia February 2024 issue, styled by Christine Centenera. Photographer Steven Klein [IG] photographs Kidman’s well-established ‘Killer Instincts’ fashion style with an interview by Hannah-Rose Yee.
Let’s discuss the snake. “I think it’s something to do with the same way that I skydive or scuba dive,” Kidman explained about her request to be subversive in the fashion shoot. Kidman finds snakes “alluring”, leaving her fascinated by the way “they slither and move” and by the notion of shedding skins. “You can become and try different things, all the time, which is what excites me,” she reflects poetically.
Opening her arms to receive the snake — which was larger than Kidman expected — the actor explained that she is able to enter a trance in most situations. This skill exponentially expands her acting skill set, in a fearless, freedom-to-coexist with just about any situation.

Read MoreCindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales
/
Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers Los Angeles-based Flaunt Magazine’s [IG] 25th Anniversary issue. Crawford delivers an impressive fashion story shoot, styled by Mui-Hai Chu, in Bottega Veneta on the cover. Photographer Greg Swales [IG] is behind the lens.
Flaunt writes: “Cindy Crawford, one of the world’s first and most well-known supermodels, is a rare icon that represents the past, the present, and the future. As seen in the recent Apple TV docuseries ‘The Super Models’, Crawford has made a profession out of risk-taking and has successfully navigated an ever-changing world of fashion, modeling, and media.”
There’s a reason why so many top models love to work with Greg Swales. Having watched Crawford on video in a November 2024 event attached to Omega Watches, these images are very much what Crawford looks like today.
The California light is kind to human faces. What I like about Greg Swales’ images is that the closeups of older women’s faces are not overtouched.
