Marique Schimmel Fronts 'Safari Deluxe' Lensed By Laura Sciacove Nciacovelli for Marie Claire Italy's May 2017 'Safari Deluxe'.
Safari looks in May magazines are standard fare -- except for Maria Grazia Chiuri presenting her first cruise collection for Christian Dior on May 11 at the Upper Los Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve in Calabasas, Ca. Continuing her design inspiration inspired by strong women worldwide, Chiuri turned to stellar American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, along with the writings of feminist shamanic author Vicki Noble. The LATimes writes:
Although all of the pieces bearing the Lascaux-inspired imagery caught the eye, the most memorable were the full skirts, sleeveless dresses and blazers that rendered the drawings of oxen, deer and horses in a silk jacquard that had a dusty golden cast to it.
AOC covered the opening of France's new exhibition center Lascaux 4, a full-size replica of the ancient cave paintings in the Dordogne region of France.
Nicolas St-Cyr, artistic decorator of Lascaux-4, officially known as the International Centre for Cave Paintings, is one of the few to have visited the real Lascaux. “It’s very special. You have the feeling you are in the presence of man 22,000 years ago when you see the paintings. These were talented artists, working by the light of animal oil lamps, and it’s like they were done yesterday. I was trembling when I came out.”
Virtually all of the Lascaux paintings are of animals, and 'no' there are no woolly mammoths portrayed in the caves. But the Rouffignac cave nearby, with paintings from the same time period, is best known for the large number of woolly mammoths on the walls.

Kendall Jenner Is Lensed By Cole Sprouse For The Sunday Times Style May 14, 2017
Super top model Kendall Jenner is styled by Celestine Cooney in a benign fashion editorial that should get her in no trouble with Twitter's fashion police. Photographer Cole Sprouse captures Kendall for The Sunday Times Style May 14, 2017./ Hair by David Keough; makeup by Mary Phillps
Note that AOC supports criticism of Kendall's Pepsi commercial, but the Vogue India dustup is a bit much, given that both editor-in-chief Priya Tanna and the 10th anniversary issue creative director Mario Testino chose her.
As DailyO India points out:
No one was offended when Gisele Bundchen wore a skimpy bikini in the September 2009 cover. No public outrage when Victoria Beckham wore a tika on the November 2008 issue. What about Sarah Jessica Parker in the February 2010 cover? Has she ever set a Manolo Blahnik on Indian soil?
Cindy Crawford was on the 3rd anniversary (October 2010) issue and spoke about everything from retirement to selfies but nothing about India - Mario Testino yes. But public outrage for showcasing a foreigner? None.
The point is, writes Nirva Patel, that the very social media frenzy that makes overnight super stars out of girls with no real credentials beyond their followers statistics, eats its stars with a voracious, self-righteous appetite.
And where is the adoring herd to defend their superstar? Silent . . . just like Republicans who refuse to criticize US President Donald Trump.
