Loli Bahia in 'La Renaissance of Chic' for Vogue France December 2024 by Mert & Marcus
In the Vogue France [IG] December 2024 cover story ‘La Renaissance du Chic’, the fashion emphasis is a blend of sophistication, elegance and simplicity. A feeling of modernity mixed with classicism. It’s both an attitude and a natural way of being. It’s simply Parisian.
Iconic photographers Mert Alas [IG] & MarcusPiggott [IG] alongside top stylist Alastair McKimm, photograph the multicultural Algerian-French beauty Loli Bahia, a young woman of her time and already a top-flight fashion model.
‘A Beloved Diamond in the Rough’
Vogue France’s Alexandre Marain affectionately calls the girl from Lyon ‘a diamond in the rough’ — actually a possessive ‘our’ diamond.
Bahia is cherished by French luxury fashion and beyond as ‘their young woman’, a living embodiment of a global, multicultural French aesthetic with a complex history — one this young woman embraces fully. Learn more about her in AOC Fashion

Edie Campbell for CH Carolina Herrera INITIALS INSIGNIA SOFT SS-2025 Campaign
It’s easy to forget that this visual feast for hungry eyes is a focus on the CH Carolina Herrera brand's signature bags — specifically the newINITIALS INSIGNIA SOFT — presented in an array of jewel tones, metallics, and refined neutrals.
Carolina Herrera and the Business of Relationships
Because AOC just wrote about the enduring relationship between Carolina Herrera ‘Good Girl’ fragrance and supermodel-activist Karlie Kloss, the first thought with Edie is an affirmative ‘yes’. She belongs in this tribe, too. Today both women move in highly-monied circles but take their activist roots and credentials wherever they go.
In 2020 we might have thought that elitism was gone for good — a silly proposition given the nature of human history. A key brand concept going forward is a ‘humble’ elitism and both Edie and Karlie have it.
With riches come responsibilities and both women have accepted what should be expected of them as people of privilege — given their prolific talents, excellent values and access to capital. I mentioned this very concept yesterday regarding the new Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 campaign.

The Carolina Herrera ‘Good Girl’ ambassador is styled by Bárbara Garralda in three ELLE covers and a fashion story for the Carolina Herrera brand. Photographer Xavi Gordo [IG] captures the perfectly elegant looks for the holidays and resort getaways, as AOC dives into an examination of a Kloss-Herrera alliance that’s worth a Harvard Business School case study.
@KodeWithKlossy
The successful relationship between Karlie Kloss and Carolina Herrera the brand and their Good Girl fragrance is a thriving business/personal activist relationship founded in 2018.
Karlie’s philanthropy centered around @KodeWithKlossy — her 2015-launched, summer camp initiative teaching teen girls ages 13-18 to code.
Karlie Kloss and Reproductive Freedom
Today Karlie’s fight is not at all glamorous, as she increases her activism around women’s health access. Kloss chooses carefully her partners in activism in ways that do no harm to Carolina Herrera.
Those partners include Melinda Gates and her daughter Phoebe Gates.
