A slick new 'The Cut' from New York Magazine features Soo Joo Park in a series called 'Extremes', exploring the outer edges of style. Writing of Alexander McQueen's Fall 2017 collection, we learn that creative director Sarah Burton "was inspired by the enduring “Cloutie tree” tradition of Cornwall, England, where pilgrims make wishes by tying rags to trees. She translated the ancient practice into a collection full of painstakingly hand-sewn embroidery, elaborately tailored leather pieces, and a wild pagan spirit — a perfect match for Park. "

Scottish designer Jonathan Saunders has been chief creative officer of America's iconic Diane von Furstenberg or DVF since May 2016. In short order, Saunders injected modern color, clashing prints and expert draping techniques that pay homage to the original Smart Sensuality image of the brand.
These changes came into view in DVF's Fall 2017 ad campaign, an homage to New York City and all its people. Lensed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch and styled by Camille Bidault-Wadddington, with art direction by Jonny Lu, the campaign features Luna Bijl, Yoon Young Bae, Angok Mayen, and Cara Taylor amongst real New Yorkers in Harlem, Tompkins Square Park, and Liberty Island. "The people that the girls interacted with were kids that were dancing in the streets in Harlem and these beautiful boys, who we met on a bench in Tompkins Square Park, all these real people in New York that symbolize to me what is so brilliant about this city," Saunders told Refinery 29.
"New York is this brand’s home. Yes, it’s international, yes, travel is so important to this brand, but New York is its home," he says. Not to mention, "New York has always been an inspiration to me," Saunders continues. "I’ve always been inspired by the time in New York in the ‘70s where Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith, all these incredibly cool, incredibly creative people made such beautiful and extensive bodies of work within this city."

Black Barbie Duckie Thot Stuns In Paola Kudacki Images For Paper Magazine Fall 2017
Rising model Duckie Thot gives a meaty interview to Michael Cuby in the Fall 2017 Beautiful People issue of Paper Magazine. Duckie covers the issue in stellar images by Paola Kudacki, ones that pay homage to the Australian-Sudanese model's stunning doll-like features now maximized in styling by Jason Rembert. Duckie herself has embraced what Twitter calls her Black Barbie features.
Cuby walks where angels dare not tread . . . a man's description of an always-articulate black woman's beauty:
Duckie's skin color is a large part of the reason her name has slowly (but, no doubt, surely) become a mainstay for the fashion set. It's a warm, mocha chocolate that's impossibly smooth and even-toned, and its dark hue is striking in a way that has made her simultaneously adored by casting agents looking for something radically different to the white industry norm and uplifted by the onlooking people of color observing -- and celebrating -- her increasingly rapid success.
Speaking of being a Black Barbie, Duckie responds: "Barbie is this perfect thing that walks around and I'm definitely not perfect. . . . "I'm so happy that people say that about me, because it basically is a lovely thing to be introduced to the world as this Black Barbie. I will take the title."

Ulrikke Hoyer Is Global Traveler Lensed By Charlotte Wales In Vogue Paris October 2017
Photographer Charlotte Wales flashes 'La Mode Aux Trousses' starring Ulrikke Høyer in ready-to-go clothes styled by Charlotte Collet in Vogue Paris October 2017./ Hair by Christian Eberhard; makeup by Petros Petrohilos
Ulrikke Hoyer is the young model sent home from the Louis Vuitton cruise show in Tokyo for being too fat -- somewhat bloated -- after her flight. Hoyer went public, making her protest a significant catalyst in the mutual decision of LVMH and Kering to declare new standards in model sizing, ones more in line with the great supers of the '90s. None of them would fit in today's model runway clothes.
Under Emmanuelle Alt, Vogue Paris has become fashion milktoast. The staging of Ulrikke's new editorial is surely anchored in visual coincidence, but it does carry a rare VP message. Perhaps VP was consulted about the upcoming changes on model sizing from LVMH and Kering.

Mick Rock Shoots Gucci Cruise 2018 Campaign In Rome With An Eyeful Of Eclectic Talent
Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele returns to his beloved Rome for Gucci's Cruise 2018 campaign. The eclectic eye-candy images feature a fashionable, creative talent gaggle of 'real people in real places -- often their homes' shot by British photographer Mick Rock.
Barbara Alberti, Francesco Bianconi, Alessandro Borghi, Silvia Calderoni, Marina Cicogna, Lucio Corsi, Caterina de Renzis Sonnino, Ginevra Elkann, Francesca Romana Fontana,
Rosa Gambino, Sonia Hang, Miriam Leone, Gabriele Lepera, Betani Mapunzo, Chiara Mastroianni, Sofia Mattioli, Mosè Auer-Nozza, Fabrizio and Stefano Occhipinti, Giulia Salvatore, Valerio Sirna, Stefano Torossi, Lucrezia Valia and Matteo Zoppis are part of the campaign.
Rock gained fame documenting stars Syd Barrett, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Blondie, Talking Heads, the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, "in addition to being David Bowie’s official photographer during the artist’s Ziggy Stardust incarnation', writes WWWD. The photographer’s experience around trend-setting rock stars also included the creations of a range of memorable album covers, such as Lou Reed’s “Transformer,” Iggy and the Stooges’ “Raw Power” and Queen’s “Queen II.”
A short movie directed by Chuck Grant will be released both in 60-second and 120-second formats. The sensory-drenched collage centers on the campaign's talents and details of the collection juxtaposed with full-framed clips to multiple, old homemade movie-inspired takes -- all set to the soundtrack of Arthur Russell’s “Place I Know/Kid Like You” song.
