Alyssa Traore + Jessie Bloemendaal Try Racial Reversals Lensed By Marcin Kempski For Vogue Portugal

Dutch models Alyssa Traoré and Jessie Bloemendaal are styled by Sam Ranger in a 1+1=3 editorial ‘Eu Eu Eu’. There is no doubt about the intent of the editorial, once a black model is holding a white mask and vice versa. Alyssa wears primarily white outfits and Jessie black. Perhaps this staging seems too literal to some folks, but given the simmering resentment among large numbers of America’s women of color towards ALL white women, it’s time to spring this Pandora out of her box and give it some daylight.

When people are cornered in all or nothing boxes, based on skin color, progress is tough. Note that neither Democratic primary presidential candidate Kamala Harris or barely-defeated Democratic Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams come from this school of thought, and both have massive support among educated white women, if not high-school educated, women don’t belong in politics because God said so Trump supporters.

Already a mother of Pedro, age 6, Wellsh is now pregnant with a girl and she dreams of returning to Brazil so that her children can learn the same traditions that have formed her essence. Amanda shares her deep respect for fellow Brazilian Gisele Bundchen. "I was inspired by her sincerity and her strength, but also by her commitment to the environment. Ecology is one of our priorities to save the planet and ensure a future for our children. I recycle, I consume organic and I am angry when I see so much plastic used for packaging. I often talk about it to my son. "

Amanda hates clichés: those of the perfect wife and mother in particular. The former student in architecture explains:

Adriana Lima Is Radiant In Chopard's 'Magical Setting' Collection, Lensed By Michael Schwartz

Adriana Lima Is Radiant In Chopard's 'Magical Setting' Collection, Lensed By Michael Schwartz

What better place than Miami for Adriana Lima to showcase luxe jeweler Chopard’s new Magical Setting collection. Photographer Michael Schwartz captures the shimmering diamonds clustered in floral shapes in a unique, breakthrough collection of necklaces, earrings and rings. Elizabeth Sulcer styles Adriana with hair by Peter Gray and makeup by Georgi Sandev.

The skills of the maison's high jewellery department are put to task with this new setting, as the diamonds seem to be floating freely, with no links or claws holding them together. They come together in an explosion of sparkle, unencumbered by heavy metal prongs or claws, as if linked together by the tap of a wand. The collection features diamonds, blue sapphires from Sri Lanka, rubies from Mozambique and Madagascar, or emeralds from Colombia and Zambia. Each flower is anchored by a focal stone, that's surrounded by an array of precious gems.

From Motherhood To Mossad Agent, Diane Kruger Is 'In the Lead' Lensed By Benjamin Vnuk For Porter Edit Jan 25, 2019

From Motherhood To Mossad Agent, Diane Kruger Is 'In the Lead' Lensed By Benjamin Vnuk For Porter Edit Jan 25, 2019

Actor Diane Kruger is styled by Tracy Taylor in sensual neutrals for ‘In the Lead’, lensed by Benjamin Vnuk for Porter Edit January 25, 2019.

Kruger sits down with Jane Mulkerrins for a chat on motherhood and possible marriage, and the secret training involved in her role as an Israeli intelligence Mossad agent in the upcoming film ‘The Operative.

“We had to do some strange things,” Kruger explains. “Like having to convince a stranger in the street to walk you somewhere, and having to knock on someone’s door and convince them to let you into their home.” Kruger poses as tourist in the city. “And if you act believably, most people will go out of their way to help you,” she reflectgs out loud. “But I found it really hard to lie to people like that.” Even worse was training requiring her to travel through airport security on a fake passport. “There was a real possibility of getting arrested. It was terrifying.”

Lies, Lies & More Lies

If lies and deception are unsettling, Kruger must abandon her inner voice for her role in a second film ‘Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy’. ‘JT LeRoy’ (played on screen by Kristen Stewart) was presented in an elaborate hoax that fooled both Hollywood and the publishing industry in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Presented as a literary wunderkind and the author of “several supposedly semi-autobiographical books detailing a luridly hardscrabble childhood”, JT LeRoy was an entirely fictitious character, “created by writer Laura Albert, and played – in glasses and a wig – by her sister-in-law Savannah Knoop. “ Knoop (portrayed by Laura Dern in the film) co-wrote the screenplay.

A Frenzied John Galliano Reimagines Haute Couture Decadence For Maison Margiela Artisanal Spring 2019

For Maison Margiela Artisanal’s haute couture Spring/Summer 2019 collection, John Galliano used a podcast to address decadence in art, film, literature — and life. Nowhere is that perceived decadence better expressed than in the insatiable thirst for technology, especially among Gen Z types.

‘’The overstimulation of computer-generated imagery alters reality and degenerates the truth. Chaotic and unsettling, it is a confusion of the senses rooted in an over-satiation that inevitably overspills’’, said the show notes. With that, Galliano presented his haute couture collection against an eye-popping graffitied backdrop that totally dominates the visual presentation of his collection.

The gender fluid bodies “replicated that visually chaotic mural as a print using any number of inventive treatments, from traditional hand-embroideries and feather fronds to state-of-the-art reflective fabrics,", writes Vogue’s Hamish Bowles., describing them as “often combined to create a shimmering effect as though you had looked too hard at the sun and then closed your eyes. With mirror underfoot to fracture and multiply the looks, the effect was even more discombobulating and powerful. “

Galliano confessed that he is “feeling so much energy in the world” and the result is a collection that reinvents the vision of haute couture in 2019.
