Daily excerpts of new fashion, culture, lifestyle, activism and women's news posts 2007-2019.
We are forgiven in forgetting that this gorgeous fashion scene is actually associated with nature in decline, trees going for a good winter sleep in anticipation of spring and rebirth. Model Adrianna Bach is lensed by Lise-Anne Marshal for Légendes D'automne, Agnes Poulle styled the shoot for Madame Figaro November 2018.
Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (2008) lifted India-born Freida Pinto to global fame. Bottom line, Freida Pinto is the Mumbai girl who made it big in Hollywood and also the first Asian woman to take the cover of Vanity Fair Italy.
Pinto covers the November issue styled by Sarah Gore Reeves in Chanel, DSquared2, Chloe, Max Mara and More. Cartier jewelry accents Frida’s western-inspired looks lensed by David Roemer.
Pinto’s latest film is ‘Love Sonia’, directed by Tabrez Noorani, who was a line producer in ‘Slum Dog’. ‘Love Sonia’ was a decade in the making as the harrowing account of two sisters who lost their innocence when one sibling is sold by her debt-ridden father. Sonia Pinto plays the role of Mrunal Thakur who traveled to Mumbai to rescue her sister Preeti, played by Riya Sisodiya.
Director Noorani was inspired to make ‘Love Sonia’ after learning about human trafficking in Los Angeles in 2003. Girls, one of them a young Indian, were found in a shipping container from China. The director became an activist in human trafficking of girls and has participated in multiple brothel raids.

Naomi is interviewed by Selina Julien in a look back at her stellar, three decades career. She was “the first black model to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris in 1988 and on Vogue US’s coveted September issue in 1989 – the 1.78m Londoner has been paving the way for the next generation in her own imitable style.” Adding to the reflection as a then exec at Victoria’s Secret, I can say that Naomi was the first black model to appear solo in marketing materials in the holiday windows of all VS retail stores. I believe she was the first black model to ever appear in VS windows, but my memory should be checked.
Campbell doesn’t shy away from discussing the issue of diversity in the industry, writes Julien. “I’m never going to say I wasn’t picked because of the color of my skin and I’d never go down that route, even if it was the case,” she says defiantly. “It would just give me more strength and perseverance for me to go out there and get what I want.” Teaming up with fellow veterans of the modeling world Iman and Bethann Hardison, “the trio champions inclusion to ensure that the number of black and Asian women on magazine covers, on runways, and in campaigns is balanced.”
Iman reflected on their infamous 2013 letter to the fashion industry in her recent Porter Edit Interview.

Jennifer Lopez Lights A Sexy Torch In Valentino Haute Couture For InStyle Magazine December 2018
Superstar Jennifer Lopez has scored another knockout in green, getting maximum internet exposure in a sequin Valentino Haute Couture cape and nothing more for the December 2018 issue of InStyle Magazine. Well, okay, Jenny from the block is wearing a few diamonds.
In her interview with Christopher Bagley, Lopez speaks about her own body image and her positive influence on culture’s embrace of curvier figures. "In my family, curves were glorified and part of the culture," Jennifer tells Bagley. "It was just like, 'Jennifer has a big butt, and it's good.'"
In summing up her style, Lopez says “I always like to mix the glam with a bit of the hood.”
Speaking of the hood, the New York native says: ““If I didn’t have certain ambitions, I might have gotten married after high school and had kids and decided to get a job at a bank in Castle Hill, like my aunt did. It’s just that I had dreams and ideas that were different.”

Top model and Norwegian beauty Frida Aasen is styled by Renata Correa in ‘Sixties-Inspired Screen Tests’, lensed by Mariana Maltoni for CR Fashion Book Online November 2018./ Hair by Lucas Wilson; makeup by Grace Ahn
Featuring Frida’s editorial, CR Fashion Book writes: “or as long as there has been the screen, there have been screen tests, and surely there are none more glamorous than those of the 1960s. Audrey Hepburn's vivacious performance famously cast her in Roman Holiday(and even made its way into the original theatrical trailer for the film), while Andy Warhol's series thrusted a crew of downtown unknowns into the limelight.” Note that Frida Aasen is not a VS Angel, as stated. She has walked past VS Fashion Shows and is in the 2018 lineup.

English actor Carey Mulligan is known for playing complex, headstrong heroines, but in real life Mulligan often worried that she was in over her head. Mulligan is styled by Natasha Royt in heritage-style knits and cozy coats from Sacai, Vanessa Bruno, The Row, Prada, Acne Studios and more.
Sebastian Kim is behind the lens for Porter Edit November 2, 2018. Emma Sells conducts the interview.
We now expect articulate conversations in Porter Edit, and Mulligan’s is no different. On multiple fronts, Hollywood women are speaking out.
Her latest film, Wildlife, is directed by actor Paul Dano, who co-wrote the script with his partner, Zoe Kazan (both long-time friends of Mulligan). Based on the novel by Richard Ford, it’s set in 1960s Montana and charts the breakdown of the marriage between long-suffering housewife Jeanette (Mulligan) and her husband, Jerry (played by Jake Gyllenhaal). “I just thought she was such a rarely seen character,” says Mulligan. “She has an affair, she makes mistakes, she’s not perfect. You don’t see women messing up like that and being human, really. I’ve done jobs before where there’ve been interesting parts of the character that have been smoothed and removed in the edit like Botox, and the director says, ‘Yeah, we tested it and [the audience] really don’t like it when she’s not nice.’ Morally objectionable choices seem to be filtered out quite a lot for women. Not for men. For men, it’s quite sexy and cool that they’re craggy and stinking of smoke. But for women, it’s like ‘Oooh, no.’”
