Gigi Hadid Covers Vogue Australia July 2018, Reflecting On Privilege And Social Media

Supermodel Gigi Hadid covers the July 2018 issue of Vogue Australia, lensed by Giampaolo Sgura.

"There is no handbook for being in the spotlight."

Interviewed by Zara Wong, Gigi Hadid channels the same self-reflective thoughts expressed by Kendall Jenner. As a fast-rise Instagirls, Hadid knows that she is the product of a love/hate social media echo chamber, one "as unreal as Donald Trump's hair",  wrote VICE.

Hadid has learned that this echo chamber can turn on a girl quickly -- like when a 3 second video of Gigi doing what models, assuming the pose in eating a fortune cookie sent the Internet into apoplexy, got her condemned as a racist and the subject of demands that she be banned from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai.

i-D featured photographer Camila Falquez's 'radically soft photos of black masculinity' in December 2017. The Brooklyn-based photographer convinced her model, LZ Granderson, that posing in pink tulle would not hurt his career. I said, ‘Listen, trust me. You want to be seen as a man ready to change the stories told about men,’” Camila recalls. Camila first met LZ, an aspiring politician, when she was taking photos at this year’s Afropunk Festival and fell in love with his aura. “He was so gracious, honest, and giving in the way he posed.”

Bette Midler & Michael Kors Open Solar-Powered Essex Street Community Garden In Brooklyn

/

Mega talent Bette Midler and designer Michael Kors, joined by his husbandLance LePere, reminded New Yorkers Thursday night that wonderful gifts to humanity can come in small packages. Honoring the summer solstice, the trio joined New York Restoration Project (NYRP) Executive Director Deborah Marton in a ribbon-cutting for the newly restored green space, called the Essex Street Community Garden.

Attending an old-fashioned, New York block party, the global citizens celebrated the 3,200-square-foot green space is the first New York community garden that is entirely solar-powered, featuring Wi-Fi, a projection screen, and greenery that was planted by Kors and other community members themselves. The garden, one of 52 that NYRP installed around the city, will be an intended haven for weddings, yoga classes, movie screenings, and more celebrations to come, bringing together locals into a shared space, writes CR Fashionbook. 

The activist and philanthropy players have worked with NYRP for the last 21 years, after Midler brought Kors and LePere into the organization.

Trump Revokes National Ocean Policy As Britain Launches Audit Of Fast Fashion Impact Environment

Donald Trump cares little about the environment, and that was never more clear than when issued an executive order Tuesday revoking the 2010 National Ocean Policy of the Trump administration. Economic development is Trump's top priority, and if he puts the entire global ecosystem in peril, he could care less. That includes local quality of life as well. His mentality is drill baby drill. As for massive guts of plastic floating in the oceans and killing our fish, basta! Trump insists that it is RIGHT to pollute, to desecrate, to kill the earth in the name of consumption and economic development.

The Obama administration’s goal was to guide a more coordinated, sustainable management of the oceans and coasts in collaboration with states and tribes. Republican opponents call such a plan the liberal bureaucracy in action.  On Tuesday, conservation groups voiced strong opposition to Trump’s action, which, among other things, ensures “federal regulations and management decisions do not prevent productive and sustainable use of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes waters,” according to the executive order.

The difference between Trump's attitude on consumption and sustainability could not contrast more with Britain's. While Trump practically demands that we pour more chemicals and plastic into the ocean, Britain's House of Commons has launched an environmental audit to assess the impact of fast fashion in the UK.
