Supermom Coco Rocha Covers DScene #10, Captured by Igor Cvoro

Top model Coco Rocha covers DScene issue #10, styled by Christopher Maul for images by Igor Cvoro.

Contributing writer Sheri Chiu conducts the interview, opening with : ‘Since the last time I interviewed you in 2013, you’ve accomplished so much including, but not limited to, the publishing of Study of Pose, becoming owner and director of Nomad Management, and now spearheading your own model camp. There is a common thread: guiding and teaching. “

It’s important to note two important omissions on Coco’s accomplishment list — the births of two children — daughter Ioni and in April 2018, her son Iver Eames Conran. It was Ioni who made Rocha’s pregnancy public, proclaiming in an Instagram video posted by Rocha in December: “Surprise, there’s a baby in mommy’s tummy!”

Imaan Hammam Power Walks Into London Times Sunday Style By Giampaolo Sgura

What’s the big deal about Imaan Hammam, asks The London Times Sunday Style.

First, Hammam isn’t a reality TV star or sprog of a famous model. The daughter of Moroccan and Egyptian parents, she was raised Muslim in Amsterdam, speaking Arabic at home. Second, she has a (relatively) normal body — meaning actual boobs and a bum. And then there are the wild cheers and whistles, from both men and women, she garners each time she walks down a runway. Or in Hammam’s case, power-strides down it.

Stylist Verity Parker loves her Versace, perfect for a power-strider Wonder Woman like Hammam. Giampaolo Sgura is behind the lens for the December 9, 2018 edition.

Jane Moseley Captivates In 'Morning Has Broken' By Hyea W. Kang For Vogue Korea December 2018

/

Painter, sculptor, model Jane Moseley initially rejected the world of modeling, preferring to maintain her integrity as a starving artist, even working on a pearl farm in Tahiti, wrote Vanity Fair in November 2016.

Eventually Moseley became less invested in her image and more invested in a stable income, a decision that has worked well for her.

Turns out that straddling the two worlds wasn’t all that weird for Moseley. Her mother, Lisa Lindsay-Hogg, was a model in the 1980s; her father is cult horror-film actor Bill Moseley, and she’s been obsessed with the grotesque since she was a young girl. In her late 20s, which is middle age in this industry, and covered in tattoos of cartoon-character zombies, Moseley became an unexpected sensation.

Jennifer Aniston Is Fully Engaged In Becoming A Being Living An Expansively Happy Existence

/

Jennifer Aniston covers the January 2019 issue of ELLE US, styled by Alison Edmond in Gucci, Isabel Marant, Tom Ford and more. Zoey Grossman captures the ‘Dumplin’ star in deep but also light-hearted reflections about her life.

Carina Chocano interviews Aniston in Jennifer Aniston Doesn’t Need a Happy Ending.

“It is a grand mystery why the public obsession has never abated,” says Kristin Hahn, her producing partner and one of her best friends. “I’ve wondered about it myself for many years—I think Jen represents an archetype for us as a culture.” Aniston is the screen onto which America projects all its double standards about women, especially successful ones. We first got to know her as Rachel Green, the runaway bride who moved to New York City to become herself. Then we spent a decade emotionally invested in whether she would end up with Ross, only to have her perfect marriage to Brad Pitt end soon after that. It’s obviously a lucrative projection, or it would not have been bought and sold, year after year. What anyone gets out of it is unclear. “Maybe it has everything to do with what they’re lacking in their own life,” Aniston theorizes. Or maybe using marriage and children as the ultimate marker of female happiness is just another way to disempower successful women. “Why do we want a happy ending? How about just a happy existence? A happy process? We’re all in process constantly,” Aniston says. “What quantifies happiness in someone’s life isn’t the ideal that was created in the ’50s. It’s not like you hear that narrative about any men.” Men, of course, are allowed to continue merrily on their open-ended path to adventure. “That’s part of sexism—it’s always the woman who’s scorned and heartbroken and a spinster. It’s never the opposite. The unfortunate thing is, a lot of it comes from women,” she says. “Maybe those are women who haven’t figured out that they have the power, that they have the ability to achieve a sense of inner happiness.”

Maria Grazia Chiuri was inspired by the Mexican tradition of Escaramuza for her Dior Resort 2019 collection called Diorodeo. Chiuri brought over a band of female riders from Phoenix, Arizona to celebrate the choreographed equestrian sport performed by women in traditional costumes, when she unveiled the collection at France’s Chateau de Chantilly.

A few weeks ago, AOC featured Jennifer Lawrence appearing in the Dior Resort ad campaign, a spread that ran into pc headwinds.

Phoebe Robinson, comedian and host of the “2 Dope Queens”podcast, criticized the ad for its location and for not including a Mexican model.

“Lol. Wut?! Sooooooooo, #Dior & #JenniferLawrence wanna celebrate traditional Mexican women riders thru a ‘modern lens’ …by having a rich white woman named Jennifer be the face of this campaign?” she wrote alongside a re-post of the campaign video.

“And like they couldn’t think of a better landscape to shoot than in California?! Hmm, I dunno, maybe…like…shoot…in…Mexico…with …a…Mexican…actress like Salma Hayek, Karla Souza, Jessica Alba, Selena Gomez, Eva Longoria, or many others. But I guess they were all unavailable, so you had to go with Jennifer Lawrence,” Robinson wrote.

She said that using ‘modern’ to describe the campaign was, “ignorant and gross,” and asked her followers to comment with names of Mexican designers she could lend support to.

Max Mara Creative Director Ian Griffiths Talks Judy Chicago + Bad-Ass Successful Women

Eye: Max Mara Creative Director Ian Griffiths Talks Judy Chicago + Bad-Ass Successful Women

“I’ve been described as the most influential designer you’ve never heard of,” Ian Griffiths , Creative Director of Max Mara for 31 years told Harper’s Bazaar Australia in an interview published online December 9. Griffiths’ anonymity was about to be blown, when US House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — soon to be Madame Speaker again — wore her 2013 brick red Max Mara coat to a December 11 budget-funding showdown at the White House.

Hours later, Pelosi and her ‘Fire Coat’ were total bad-ass legend as big names clamored to know where to buy her coat. Griffiths stepped out of the shadows to talk his vision for confident, powerful women to Pelosi’s posse. His comments in the Harper’s interview echo the sentiments he expressed in announcing that Pelosi’s coat was headed back to stores in the next collection.

On December 4, Griffiths further defined the Max Mara woman as “successful. She’s made it on her own terms and she wants to be taken seriously.” Those words certainly describe Nancy Pelosi. The designer talked with Town & Country about Max Mara’s collab with Judy Chicago, and their release of a tee shirt to promote the artist’s major retrospective at the ICA Miami.

“As a long standing feminist artist who has found a powerful voice, Judy is the ideal partner for Max Mara—the collaboration is a reminder that classic does not mean conservative.”

One of her seminal pieces, ‘Bigamy Hood’, a painted car hood, served as inspiration for the t-shirt collab with Max Mara. Chicago described the collaboration as “an exciting challenge that required a considerable amount of time, creativity, and drawings.” The resulting design is what Griffiths calls “iconic Judy Chicago” but in a “classic Max Mara palette,” meaning a wearable, but still playfully radical t-shirt. “It underlines the brand’s commitment to the empowerment of women,” Griffiths says.
