Eye: Scandebergs Captures 'The Goddard Family' & Edie Campbell For Vogue US March 2018

British designer Molly Goddard (seated) had a small mess on her hands four years ago, with her academic career at Central Saint Martins stalled in a fatal downwards spiral. A devoted boyfriend persuaded her "to take one more stab at it", writes Lynn Yaeger for Vogue US. In a lightening flash, Molly's younger sister Alice was in charge of styling. Her parents were assigned staging, and that included mumSarah Edwards who is a set designer. “Really, we just threw a party—all my girlfriends were there, with my dresses over their jeans,” Molly Goddard says, laughing.

Dover Street Market was in the house that night -- it helps to have influential friends in high places. The result was an order for 86 pieces of Goddard's oversize tulle frocks and being crowned the winner of the 2016 British Emerging Talent Award. 

Burberry's Christopher Bailey Cements Support For LGBTQ Rights In Final Show As Creative Director

London delivered its predictable grey drizzle for Burberry's Christopher Bailey's final collection on February 17, 2018, after 17 years with the iconic brand. Vogue's Sarah Mower sat down with Bailey for a poignant talk about his past, present and future. Bailey also spoke with Elizabeth Paton of the NY Times

Bailey dedicated his final collection to LGBTQ rights, ending his Burberry reign under a rainbow coalition of colored lights and a limited-edition rainbow-coated version of the iconic signature Burberry plaid. Three important charities -- The Trevor Project,The Albert Kennedy Trust, and the ILGA -- dedicated to LGBTQ rights worldwide are beneficiaries of the event. 

In a statement to WWD, Bailey explained: “My final collection here at Burberry is dedicated to — and in support of — some of the best and brightest organizations supporting LGBTQ youth around the world. There has never been a more important time to say that in our diversity lies our strength, and our creativity.”

Boston Globe Writes Fashion Industry Sexual Expose On Patrick Demarchelier, Greg Kadel, David Bellemere, Karl Templer & More Model Aggression

Boston Globe Writes Fashion Industry Sexual Expose On Patrick Demarchelier, Greg Kadel, David Bellemere, Karl Templer & More Model Aggression

In what is becoming a fashion industry #MeToo moment, The Boston Globe released their investigation of sexual assault and misconduct accusations against at least 25 photographers, agents, stylists, and casting directors including Patrick Demarchelier, David Bellemere, Greg Kadel, Seth Sabal, Karl Templer and more. 

Models offering testimony include Abbey Lee, RJ King, Myla Dalbesio, Chloe Hayward and more prominent names in the industry. 

One of the industry's most prominent voices Coco Rocha told the Globe's Spotlight team that when she refused to get naked on the set at age 16, the photographer replaced her with a girl younger and more obedient. Months later, another famous photographer simulated an orgasm as he took her picture.

On her first test shoot at age 15, Dasha Alexander said the photographer held the camera in one hand and digitally penetrated her with his other. The move would make the pictures more "raw" and "sensual". I find this move laughable because a woman's sensuality is much more innate. If anything, the photographer would inspire raw fear -- unless the model was in full agreement with the gesture. If the photographer didn't ask her in advance about this digital penetration, he is guilty of sexual assault.

Penélope Cruz Rewrites Fairy Tales, Lensed By Cedric Buchet For Porter Edit February 16, 2018

Penélope Cruz Rewrites Fairy Tales, Lensed By Cedric Buchet For Porter Edit February 16, 2018

Actor and activist Penélope Cruz talks to Mark Smith about her process of becoming Donatella Versace for her US TV debut as the sister of murdered designer Gianni Versace. Cruz is happy to be back in Madrid, after living in London last winter during the filming of Kenneth Branagh's 'Murder on the Orient Express'. Cruz says she's constitutionally unsuited to gray days and an early nightfall, as it affects her brain. 

Cruz became the first spanish woman to win an Academy Award, for her 2008 role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a film written and directed by Woody Allen and produced by Harvey Weinstein.  We'll talk Cruz's Hollywood women experience in another post, but must share Penelope's resourceful way of dealing with gender roles between her own daughter and son. 

“Fairy tales matter so much because these are the first stories that you hear from the mouths of your parents,” she says. “So, when I read fairy tales to my kids at night, I’m always changing the endings – always, always, always, always. F*****g Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and all of this – there’s a lot of machismo in those stories. That can have an effect on the way that kids see the world. If you’re not careful, they start thinking: ‘Oh, so the men get to decide everything.’”

Cruz’s subversive fairy-tale heroines, she says, are prone to declining proposals of marriage, or making the proposals themselves. An example? “In my version of Cinderella, when the prince says, ‘Do you wanna marry?’ she says, ‘No, thanks, ’cos I don’t want to be a princess. I want to be an astronaut, or a chef.’” Cruz laughs wickedly and closes an imaginary book.

Helena Christensen, Christy Turlington & Danai Gurira At Ali Hewson's Edun Fall 2018 Presentation

Helena Christensen, Christy Turlington & Danai Gurira At Ali Hewson's Edun Fall 2018 Presentation

Vogue reviews Edun's Fall 2018 presentation, writing that in Nairobi, Kenya, "you're only as awesome as your boda boda." The wilder and crazier your motorcycle taxi wheels, the more stylish you are in Nairobi. The inspired embellishment of boda bodas worked its way into Edun's Fall 2018 collection, which got a big boost from two of the industry's greats: Helena Christensen and Christy Turlington.

Black Panther star Danai Gurira showed off bold, exuberant colors against the backdrop of a pastel pink boda boda.

In 2009 LVMH took a stake in Edun, founded by Ali Hewson and her husband Bono in 2005. Helena Christensen is bff with Hewson and an integral member of the Edun spiritual/artisan-inspired design mindset. Helena and Ali first met in 1993 when the Danish beauty first modeled in Hewson's show for the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children at the Point in Dublin.

Now a professional photographer, Helena frequently turns her lens to Bono's U2 band and to her role working as an ambassador with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Christy Turlington and husband Ed Burns frequently join the party, as do Trudie Styler and Sting. The Edun lookbook images were shot in New Orleans, presumably by Christensen.

Christy Turlington Fronts H&M Conscious 2018 Campaign, Inspired By Karin Larsson

Supermodel Christy Turlington fronts H&M's Conscious 2018 campaign, joined by Giedre Dukauskaite and Aamito Lagum. The sustainable collection features items made of  TENCEL™, recycled polyester and organic linen. H&M also introduces ECONYL® -- a 100 percent regenerated nylon fiber made of recycled fishnets and nylon waste -- as well as recycled silver used in a fine jewelry collection. Photographer Mikael Jansson captures the Conscious Exclusive collection, inspired by the artful home, and the work and lifestyle of Carl and Karin Larsson.

Vogue writes that Carl and Karin Larsson met in Paris in the 1880s, where they both were studying painting. As expected of women, Karin have up her painting to raise their family of eight children. But she also found new ways to channel her creativity into interior design, weaving, embroidery and other 'wifey' creative pursuits. 

Released once a year, the aim of the Conscious Exclusive collection, explained Anna Gedda, the company’s queen of green, is twofold: “Making fashion sustainable, but [also] to make sustainability fashionable.”
