Model Teddy Quinlivan took a strong stand for her colleagues last week, penning a powerful open letter on Instagram. Teddy spoke generally about the issue of sexual harassment in the fashion industry, while disclosing her own direct experiences with wandering fingers in her panties and more.
After probing the reality that victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault are generally ignored because of the power that the perpetrator photographer or stylist wields, Teddy Quinlivan announced, “I refuse to work with brands and publications who continue to collaborate with accused offenders of assault,” adding, “There is no fashion show, editorial, campaign, or event that is more important than the safety and well being of both myself and remarkable men and women I work with.”

Debra Shaw, 41, is styled by Jan Kralicek in wow images by Dan Beleiu. The entire team operates on steroids -- better yet an ancient, ancestral vision that gains clarity on peyote -- in this stupendous cover story for Vogue Portugal's May 2018 issue. / Makeup by Katerina Brans; hair by Hikage Yumiko
Vogue Italia profiled Shaw, who has a history as a successful runway model, in March 2010, writing "Shaw always wanted to be a fashion designer, but became instead one of the best-known top models of the 90s, a muse and friend of John Galliano. Now she lives in Paris, where she is a successful fashion consultant."
Vogue Italia also shared a 1997 Peter Lindberg editorial with black beauties in a large couture spread. Staggering away from the beauty of this Vogue Portugal editorial, we'll be taking an in-depth look at Debra Shaw.
Gifted photographer Dan Beleiu is based in Berlin.
Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott always delivers originality, but his pre-fall women's collection is divinely decadent in an uptown girl attitude. These pretty-silhouette dresses of printed silk crepe hide the sensually illicit Polaroids of Italian furniture designer Carlo Mollino within their folds. Unintentionally appealing to our global #metoo moment, Scott taps into Mollino's secret passion for photographing always-anonymous, one-time-only models in poses of apparent wantonness -- and making the images ours. These male gaze erotic images are reappropriated by Scott for the female wearer.

Let us give you a brief introduction.

Rihanna Covers Vogue US June 2018 With Choice Words: I'm Not Built Like A Victoria's Secret Girl
Rihanna is making final preparations to join Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace and Amal Clooney at next week's 2018 Met Gala themed 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.' The event and accompanying exhibition is "designed to create a dialogue between fashion and the masterworks of religious art in the museum's holdings, writes Vogue.
Celebrating the event, Rihanna covers the June 2018 issue of Vogue US, lensed by Mert & Marcus and styled by fashion editor Tonne Goodman in glittering looks from Chanel, Michael Kors Collection, Paco Rabanne and more.
Vogue fashion news director Chioma Nnadi interviews the superstar in 'Rihanna on Body Image, Turning 30, and Staying Real -- No Matter What.'
As Victoria's Secret struggles to maintain its position -- not only the world's largest lingerie brand -- but one with a positive stock price, Rihanna weighs in on her new lingerie collection. “I’m not built like a Victoria’s Secret girl, and I still feel very beautiful and confident in my lingerie.” This observation is important for VS because to date, the brand has a very loyal and cash-register ringing following among women of color. During my days with the brand, women of color were disproportionately VS customers, a much higher percent of sales than their population demographic in America.
VS Angel Stella Maxwell asks the proverbial summer question 'What's Sexy Now?' styled by Sandy Armeni in summer looks from Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Tom Ford, Isabel Marant and more. Photographer David Roemer is behind the lens for Harper's Bazaar GreeceMay 2018 cover story.

Alessandra Ambrosio Sizzles In Lascana S/S 2018 Lingerie & Swim Campaign By Tim Petersen
Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, recently split from ex-fiance Jamie Mazur, sizzles in German lingerie and swimwear brand Lascana's Spring/Summer 2018 campaign. Ambrosio is lensed by Tim Petersen in Malibu, California, as part of her new post Victoria's Secret life. The Brazilian beauty remains listed as a VS Angel on the brand's website, but she is on record, posting to Instagram, a loving goodbye with confirmation that the Fall 2017 Shanghai show was her last VS fashion show and she has hung up her wings.
Victoria's Secret's low-key (translated no) response to Ambrosio's departure may be connected to the challenging retail climate for the brand. Parent company L Brands stock price is down almost 40% this year and the PINK brand, which accounts for 40% of Victoria's Secret sales, is giving investors heart burn, amid signs that it's also faltering in the current retail climate.
Many of us feel that VS and PINK are out of sync (for some time) with the brand visions of its customers -- and that's before we discuss Amazon, stagnant wages, too many stores, boutique micro-brands with big sales revenue, and a host of other retail challenges.
Not many young women can be 'insecure' about their lips and start a cosmetics brand to fix the problem. The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' women are problem-solvers, making action into their own hands and not waiting for some Prince Charming to come along with a magic wand to make Kylie Jenner, 20, suddenly confident about her lips. With no scientific data, lip abundance is associated with fertility; and we all know that the Kardashian women are not only destiny-driven business moguls but direct descendants of the Venus of Willendorf.

“It came from an insecurity and I turned it into something. I was insecure about my lips, and lipstick is what helped me feel confident,” Jenner explained to her beauty mogul sister.
“It’s the most authentic thing I’ve done in my career, and it really relates to me, and I feel like people can tell that I’m super passionate about it,” Jenner said about her business endeavor. “I feel like people could see that it’s authentic to me, and it was organic, and it just worked!”
People love to mock the Kardashian women, but Forbes estimated Kylie's net worth at $41m in December 2017, while WWD estimated her 2017 lip-love and more sales from Kylie Cosmetics at $330m.
Earlier this year, Kylie gave birth to her first child, Stormi, with long-term boyfriend and rapper, Travis Scott. The rest of Kylie's interview with sister Kim is about the Kardashian women and their babies.
Rising model Linda Helena journeys into mystical lands, styled by Olga Dunina for images lensed by Giampaolo Sgura for Vogue Russia May 2018.
Model Alyssa Miller showcases key elements of her eponymous Pilgrim Handbags and Luggage collection, lensed by Harper Smith. In the words of her Pilgrim copywriter:
PILGRIM :
[pil-grim, -gruh m] A traveler or a wanderer, especially in a foreign place.
If you are like us, you're counting down the days until your next journey. Dreaming of the days when all responsibilities fly away and the unknown awaits. Welcome PILGRIM.
PILGRIM was started by Alyssa Miller, a traveling model, musician, photographer and writer. Alyssa often found that the luggage she traveled with not only lacked a certain je ne sais quoi, but never quite functioned in the ways that she wanted and needed. As her frustration grew, she started experimenting with making her own pieces, and PILGRIM was born.
