Since Florida's Parkland students began calling BS about the NRA and Republican party's response to the avalanche of 2018 school shootings in America, the initials are in everyone's vocab and national media. Note that most talking heads stick with the initials, but not S Moda El Pais. They write:
Besides excellent copy writing, the new fashion editorial is lensed by Kristian Schuller, as Francesca Rinciari delivers summer style from Dolce & Gabbana, Valentina, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Prada and more.
Note that AOC hopes that the birds flocking to the pink passion model don't reference Tippi Hedren in Alfred Hitchcock's film 'The Birds'. Then again, maybe it does in a very sophisticated, subliminal way rather than the superficial one that first came to mind. The facts are that the bird attacks on Hedren in 'The Birds' were real. She was bleeding as a furious, controlling Hitchcock launched one bird attack after another on the actor, who had spurned his dominating, Harvey Weinstein I OWN YOU sexual advances in making the film.
Rather than endure Hitchcock's controlling demands over her private life, Tippi Hedren walked away, and Hitchcock's warning that she would never work again in Hollywood went into action. She was banned. Tippi Hedren was an original #MeToo woman and her testimony about what she endured has inspired us all.
Supermodel actor Carolyn Murphy and made-in-Detroit success story Shinola introduce us to Lois, the perfect summer tote at just $495. Named after Murphy's late grandmother Lois, the bag brings back countless memories.
“My Nana, whom I was inspired by to create the bag, we’d always do these road trips in the Oldsmobile from [Washington], D.C. She’d put her bottle of vodka, her carrots, her hard-boiled eggs and her Scrabble in this big bag, and the goal was to get to our annual reunion in Nags Head, [North Carolina]. I always remember that tote,” Murphy recalled.
"I lost my Nana, and three days later, my agent called and said, 'Bruce Weber wants to shoot you for Shinola in Detroit,'" Murphy said. "So I like to think she brought us together. It was a match made in heaven."
Murphy was featured in last Friday's Porter Edit, with news about her longstanding commitments to sustainability and protecting our oceans -- a potentially losing battle. There are now six-- count them six -- large garbage patches swelling in the ocean, making Gaia weep. (Note that a brand new and accidental discovery of an enzyme that is capable of breaking down plastic bottles offers us a ray of hope.)
AOC covered Carolyn Murphy's Shinola partnership in the September 2017 issue of InStyle. The entire brand story behind Shinola (yes, that name of shoe polish) is so inspiring in terms of what CAN be accomplished in America to fight decay, create jobs and inspire design in America's forgotten inner cities. Detroit received a HUGE bouquet of urban development flowers with big news from Ford Motor Company.
British Vogue informs us about the lineage of Diet Prada's infamous Instagram account by Tony Liu and Lindsey Schuyler launched in December 2014. The duo was outed in October 2017 by The Fashion Law but silence reigned.
“The time was going to come that we’d need to own it, eventually,” Schuyler told the Business of Fashion in May 2018, during Diet Prada’s official unmasking. Their quest for authority, and to establish themselves as two people with an opinion that matters, has granted Vogue an email interview with “DP” in between their day jobs and the industry events that their exposed identities now affords them.
“We weren't at the point then that we are now,” DP explains of playing down the hype around the account – an amalgam of two fashion addictions: Miuccia Prada and Diet Coke – a year ago. “Now that our work is having a real impact that's often positive, we're excited to own it.”
Owning it involves using Diet Prada as a platform for conscientious conversation around topics like diversity, equality and cultural appropriation.

The accompanying article by Thessaly La Force 'A Solo Sojourn Inspired by Edith Wharton's 'In Morocco', published in 1920 when she traveled the region with Hubert Lyautey, who served as the resident general of French Morocco from 1912 to 1925. By the end of the First World War, Morocco was still a colonial entity, divided between French and Spanish powers (the country would claim independence in 1956). There were no English-language guidebooks and few accounts from those who had traveled past the international port city of Tangier (“frowsy, familiar Tangier, that every tourist has visited for the last forty years,” Wharton complained in her book).
Like most rich and successful people with the means to travel, Wharton observed that Morocco's beauty was is vast decay, without ever observing or considering once the damge colonialism may have caused throughout the African continent. Wharton writes: “Overripeness is indeed the characteristic of this rich and stagnant civilization. Buildings, people, customs, seem all about to crumble and fall of their own weight: the present is a perpetually prolonged past.”
In this aspect of her observations, Wharton was trapped in her white privilege. Nevertheless, writes La Force, Wharton possessed a blunt understanding of "the devastating truth that women, no matter where in the world, were trapped by their own society. Wharton may have had grave blind spots, but she knew very well that her own freedom — as an educated woman unencumbered by children, with a great inheritance and a greater intellect — was rare."
