Carolyn Murphy and Zhang Ziyi Are Lensed By Peter Lindbergh In Buccellati S/S 2018 Campaign
Peter Lindbergh shows why he's the master of black and white photography shooting, Buccellati’s SS18 campaign in the most iconic places in Florence, including Caffé Gilli and the Torrigiani Gardens. Carolyn Murphy and Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi wear both traditional designs – like the Macri bracelet – and contemporary styles – such as the colored Hawaii line – by the Italian jewelery brand.
Buccellati is now owned 85% by Chinese Gansu Gangtai Group and opened its first store in Shanghai in November 2017.
AOC is digging deeply into ethical jewelry-making practices. Based on a superficial-only survey of the question of commitments to sustainable and ethical practices, there is no commitment to ethical practices associated with the Buccellati brand visible on the brand's website or in a last 12 months Google search.
Arizona Muse Joins Julianne Moore In Celebrating Chopard's Move To 100% Ethical Gold
Chopard made a landmark announcement on March 22 that by July 22, the Swiss maison will only use ethical gold in all its jewelry and watch creations. Long-time friends of Chopard including Colin and Livia Firth, Julianne Moore and Arizona Muse joined Chopard's Caroline Scheufele and Karl Friedrich Scheufele in making the announcement.
The commitment to sustainability is a long one. More than 30 years ago Chopard brought all its jewelry-making processes in-house in order to guarantee control of every aspect of their relationship with miners as well as promises made to Chopard clients.
In 2013 the Maison made the decision to invest directly in artisanal gold, to increase its availability to the larger market. The company has a long-standing relationship with Olivia and Colin Firth, who champion sustainability through their Green Carpet Collections. Chopard defines “ethical gold” as gold acquired from responsible sources that have been verified to meet international best practices. From July 2018 Chopard gold will be responsibly sourced from either artisanal small-scale mines in the Swiss Better Gold Association (SBGA), Fairmined and Fairtrade schemes, or from the RJC Chain of Custody gold through Chopard’s partnership with RJC-certified refineries.
Malala Yousafzai Makes Emotional 4-Day Return To Pakistan, Will Travel To Swat Valley
My heart just dropped a bit, reading that Malala Yousafzai is in Pakistan. In her Netflix David Letterman interview, the world's youngest Nobel Laureate talks about how she misses "the rivers and mountains" of her home in Swat Valley and all she wanted was for her "feet to touch the ground of home."
Malala is now home for the first time since she was attacked on her school bus, shot at close range with a bullet to her head. Now 20 and studying at Oxford, Malala is expected to stay primarily in Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, during her four-day visit.
“I still can’t believe that it is actually happening,” the global activist for girls education said in a visibly emotional speech at the office of Pakistan's Prime Minister Shadid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday. “In the last five years, I have always dreamed of coming back to my country.”
As the audience erupted into moved and emotional applause, Malala broke into tears and for a moment cupped her hands to cover her face.
“I am just 20 years old, but I have seen a lot in life,” she continued with a choked voice, recalling how she grew up in the picturesque Swat region only to watch it slide into extremism and terrorism. “I never wanted to leave my country.”
Malala wil be traveling to the Swat Valley in her four-day visit, Earlier this month, a new girls’ school built with her Nobel prize money opened in Shangla, near her home district of Swat. Malala will inaugurate the official opening of the school.

Ascia AKF Talks Modest Fashion, Navigating Islam As A Top Influencer In Global World
Ascia Al Faraj, also known as Ascia AKF, is a leader of the pack of influencers promoting modest fashion with a streetwear edge. Writing for Fashionista, Whitney Bauck talks frankly with Ascia about redefining Muslim fashion, how K-beauty changed her life and what the West doesn't understand about Arab women.
With 2.3 million followers on Instagram, Faraj strikes "the coveted perfect balance between aspirational and relatable" writes Bauck. She is a true global citizen, raised by a Kuwaiti father and American mother. Signing on to her original blog 'The Hybrids', we meet the message 'Let's talk eating disorders', confirming that Faraj is willing to deal with complex topics head-on.
In what is an excellent interview and not a hits-generating puff piece, Bauck and Faraj explore serious questions, including a common one about covering your head as a Muslim woman. AOC has written about modest fashion, hijabs and burqas for years, and we learned some new facts in their exchange.
How did you start covering your head, and when? I noticed your mom doesn't cover hers.
