'Crazy Rich Asians' Star Constance Wu Is Lensed By Max Abadian For Fashion Magazine Canada

/

Actor Constance Wu believed a starring role in 'Crazy Rich Asaians' was not in her destiny. "Crazy Rich Asians" would be the first studio-made Asian-American movie in 25 years, and Wu's shooting schedule for her sitcom 'Fresh Off the Boat' was a total conflict with this golden opportunity.  Constance Wu, who has been a front line crusader for Asian-American representation in Hollywood, would have to sit this historic moment out.

Then she had one more grade A idea worthy of her crazy Asian diva reputation. With her penchant for drama, Wu composed an email to the director of 'Crazy Rich Asianas', director Jon M. Chu. 

"I said, I know the dates don't work out and whoever you cast, I will be the first in line and I will be their No. 1 fan and supporter, but I did want to let you know that I would put 110 percent of my heart into this project and I know what to do with it and how to carry a movie and if you can just wait for me, I don't think you'll regret it," Wu, 36, said. "I did NOT think this email would work. I did it more for me so that I felt that I had told my truth. But then he read it and said, "You guys, we've got to push the production."

She got her part, and Constance Wu is making daily headlines deadlines with the launch of 'Crazy Rich Asians'.  In these images, Max Abadian captures the star for the September 2018 issue of Fashion Magazine Canada./ Hair by Derek Yuen; makeup by Jo Baker

Beehive Fences and Elephants: Tanzanian Case Study Offers Fresh Insights

Beehive Fences and Elephants: Tanzanian Case Study Offers Fresh Insights

When people cultivate food crops on or near wild lands it can be assumed that wild animals will eat them – what’s known as crop-raiding. Farms in the vicinity of protected areas can expect to be visited by a range of wild animals including birds, rodents, and large mammals like monkeys, bushpigs and elephants.

Because of their size, elephants are the most conspicuous crop-user and may, in addition to eating crops, trample farmers’ fields and break fences. Using nonlethal ways to deter elephants from farms is the most humane and effective defence long-term. But elephants are still being shot and killed, particularly if they threaten people or property.

Given that elephant numbers are dwindling, creative solutions need to be found to reduce crop losses and improve the chances of elephants and people coexisting.

Louis Vuitton Ambassador Michelle Williams Wearing LV, Lensed By LV Photographer Collier Schorr is Just Coincidence

/

Writing for the New York Times , fashion director and chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman posts this headline: Vanity Fair's September Cover Sells Something. And Not Only What It Says: Michelle Williams, Louis Vuitton and the aesthetics of brand synergy. 

For starters, writes Friedman, the imagery of a makeup free, minimal and unadorned Williams is confrontational in its own way, reflecting the aesthetic of Vanity Fair's new editor Radhika Jones. The cover is a pivot away from Vanity Fair's prior days "kind of arch celebrity-meets-intellect fantasy."
