Kardashian is a bit late for her simply-brilliant Allure interview with GQ writer Devin Friedman. When I say 'brilliant', the word applies to both humans.

I can't remember when I last read such an insightful, entertaining and clever interview -- one definitely dependent on the creative and psychoanalytical talents of the writer.

Eye: Natasha Poly Fronts 'Logomania' By Brigitte Niedermair For CR Fashion Book | Is This For Real?

CR Fashion Book editor-in-chief and industry mega-vision/voice Carine Roitfeld returns to a familiar theme of logo-wrapping in the Fall/Winter 2017 of CRF. Photographer Brigitte Niedermairflashes the bound-body of Natasha Poly in 'Logomania', styled by Ben Perreira

Erotic tension is a common top note in Roitfeld's styling toolbox, and I miss terribly her imprint on Vogue Paris. My first thought in seeing these images -- was an article about fishnets inspired by Carine.  My second one questioned the relevance of logos in today's fashion culture.   Read on.

You will see shortly on Anne of Carversville an ongoing discussion of copyright issues in the fashion, culture and advertising industries. Yes, It's launched by legal copyright concerns around our digital future in an industry that is the Wild West at this moment, with few rules or procedures around posting images.

Checking on Baard Lunde's ADB Agency just now, I'm impressed by Angela de Bona's business philosophy, words we all should live by. Here is a sampling:

Accountability. . . Altruism . . . Ambition . . . Commitment . . . Compassion. . . Discipline . . . Dynamism . . . Equality . . . Fairness . . . Hard work . . . Insightfulness . . . Humility . . . Joy . . . Justice . . .  and so much more
