Saudi Women Will Be Driving In June 2018 As Kingdom Harnesses Their Economic Power

There are few greater symbols of women's oppression worldwide than the prohibition against women driving in Saudi Arabia. AOC has lobbied against this absurd law for nearly a decade.  The New York Times reminds us:

Some said that it was inappropriate in Saudi culture for women to drive, or that male drivers would not know how to handle women in cars next to them. Others argued that allowing women to drive would lead to promiscuity and the collapse of the Saudi family. One cleric claimed — with no evidence — that driving harmed women’s ovaries.

Pure economics is part of the change promoted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the king's young son charged with overhauling the kingdom's economy and society. Low oil prices have limited the government's ability to fund unneeded jobs. Women's incomes are critical in expanding economic demand in the kingdom. 

Saudi women are expected to legally hit the road in June 2018, after a period of training male police officers how to interact with women and teaching women how to drive. 

Earlier in 2017 King Salman bin Abdulaziz Saud issued an order allowing women to benefit from government services including education and healthcare without getting the permission of a male guardian. The decision came after spring 2017 outrage over the the election of Saudi Arabia to the UN's women's commission, whose role is to shape "global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women".

Kim Kardashian West Talks 10 Years Of KUWTK, Eyed By Dennis Leupold For T Magazine Singapore October 2017

Kim Kardashian West has sworn off luxurious excess after her Paris robbery. Stylist Tok Wei Lun tries to change Kim's mind, tempting us with an extravagant collection of a red Givenchy fur coat with a Cartier necklace and rings, complemented by dramatic looks from Max Mara, Off-White, Rick Owens and more.  The supermama's October 2017 cover story for T Magazine Singapore is lensed by Dennis Leupold, with creative direction by Jack Wang  & Jumius Wong. 

Joie Goh interviews Kim, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'. The critics were scathing, writes Goh, denouncing the show for "its shallowness and calling its troupe 'self-absorbed' and 'desperate'. 

Maybe so, but unlike her critics, Kim Kardashian West is today the highest-earning reality TV personality in the world.   Read on

Steven Meisel Goes Erotic Surreal With Vittoria Ceretti's Mouth Full of Fruits For Loewe S/S 2018

Italian top model Vittoria Ceretti is flashed by the legendary Steven Meisel in Loewe's Spring/Summer 2018 'Fruits' ad campaign.  Benjamin Bruno styles the brilliantly creative, surreal images with makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Guido Palau. This is pure brand DNA, an appeal to mindset and not the clothes. It's old-school with a super-fresh 21st century update.

LMVH-backed for his J.W.Anderson brand, Loewe's Creative Director Anderson brought a sense of chill to his own J.W.Anderson Spring 2018 Ready-to-Wear Collection. (See Sarah Mower's review.) His S/S 2018 Loewe show in Paris is Friday, Sept. 29.

Smiling with the erotic, rebellious creative brilliance of Meisel's Vittoria Ceretti images, I see that Anderson is in a nesting frame of mind. Home. Sanctuary. Serenity. Reviewing Anderson's London show, Mower writes:

Kardashian is a bit late for her simply-brilliant Allure interview with GQ writer Devin Friedman. When I say 'brilliant', the word applies to both humans. In fact, Friedman's writing sparkles -- not with the common broad-stroke, high-and-mighty intellectual condemnation of Kardashian's character on behalf of millions of Twitter minions -- but with verve and personal insights.

I can't remember when I last read such an insightful, entertaining and clever interview -- one definitely dependent on the creative and psychoanalytical talents of the writer.
