First Look: Gigi Hadid By Mario Sorrenti For V Magazine #114 w/Interview By Serena Williams
Supermodel Gigi Hadid fires up the pages of V Magazine #114, fronting the issue's extreme sports focus. Hadid has "serious athletic chops . . . (was) a hardcore athlete circa high school . . . with a passion for sports (that) propels her fiercely competitive streak and impressive work ethic." George Cortina styles Gigi and action hero images by Mario Sorrenti.
Gigi Hadid and Serena Williams may be almost a generation apart, with one dominating the field of modeling and the other as Tennis's GOAT, but they are close friends for so long that Gigi can't remember how they met. Serena even said that Hadid is "one of the few people on this planet I'd leave my baby for -- for one night."
When these two MVP's get together to talk perfectionism, sister-dynamics and how to inspire current and future generations of powerful women, we're ripe for reading. There is the matter of sisters Bella and Venus, with Gigi offering that she and Bella "are more competitive about holiday cooking" than their careers.
Meanwhile, Serena blazed her way into Round 3 at Wimbledon Wednesday, with no evidence of the serious injury that took her out of the French Open and her good friend Meghan Markle, aka the Duchess of Sussex cheering her on.

Indonesian photographer Elizabeth Wirija explores the way fashion can reflect and also raise larger conclusions and understandings about society at large.

Asos Launches New Initiative With London College To Educate Its Design Teams On Sustainability
In mid-June, Asos, which sells over 850 labels including its own clothing and accessories lines, confirmed that it will ban cashmere, silk, down and feathers across its entire platform by the end of January 2019.
"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) applauds Asos for leading the charge for compassion in fashion," director of corporate projects, Yvonne Taylor, commented. "In response to PETA's campaigns, consumers are changing the face of the industry by demanding that designers and retailers ditch animal-derived materials in favour of cruelty-free alternatives that look great without causing suffering."
Asos joined over 140 brands, including Topshop, H&M and Marks & Spencer, by halting its use of mohair after PETA released a video exposé of mohair production in South Africa in May 2018.
Supermodel Karlie Kloss busts out the big blue boxes and her cowboy boots two hours deep into the British countryside. Kloss is now a veteran of not only the modeling world, but the unruly frontier of social media. In yet another article on models getting dissed by the Internet populace, W Magazine writes that Karlie has gotten remarkably thick skinned over the last 10 years.
It isn't that AOC is such a blue-blood Karlie supporter. But damn it, when one of the most activist models in the world, with concrete programs for girls in technology all across America, calls for action on behalf of immigrant families -- and the Internet calls her out for her relationship with Josh Kushner, telling her to talk to Trump herself or shut up -- we know where our allegiance lies. And AOC will stand every day on behalf of truly activist models like Karlie and Doutzen Kroes.
Welcome to Trump's America -- with a dose of leftist war paint, too! Everything we know about Karlie's relationship with even Ivanka Trump is that it's strained. And the relationship between Jared and Joshua Kushner is strained, because of Trump.
Karlie is styled by Max Pearmain for images by Theo Sion.
Models Alena Blohm continues her dominance of Grazia Italy's summer editions, styled here by Michele Bagnara in sizzling swimsuit designs in a range of one-piece styles and bikini sets. Dean Isidro is again behind the lens, flashing one of the most sensual portfolios of summer 2018, focused on Alena Blohm all summer long. We just checked again for repetitions, and we don't see them.
Models Stella Maxwell and Hiandra Martinez front Versace Resort 2019 Lookbook, lensed by Lea Colombo. Jacob K styles the duo with oversight, of course, by Donatella Versace.
LVMH is divesting its 49 percent stake in the eco-conscious made-in-Africa Edun brand, founded by Ali Hewson and her husband Bono in 2005. The luxury conglomerate is selling its shares back to the founding couple with ambiguity surrounding its future. For the present, all business operations for the brand will cease. “In light of a joint review of the business, Edun is restructuring its operations in preparation for its next chapter and LVMH will transfer its shares back to the founders,” said LVMH in a statement.
The move follows news that Tomas Maier is shutting down after Kering withdrew its support, and that Christopher Kane is also in talks to buy back stock in his own company.
AOC joined many in applauding the socially conscious brand with psychological and emotive ties to Africa. In reality, the brand saw high creative-director turnover as it struggled to create a style and product reality inspiring supporters to get out their wallets.
