Kristian Schuller Eyes Powerful, No BS Pink In New Dawn Style For S Moda El Pais June 17, 2018

Since Florida's Parkland students began calling BS about the NRA and Republican party's response to the avalanche of 2018 school shootings in America, the initials are in everyone's vocab and national media. Note that most talking heads stick with the initials, but not S Moda El Pais. They write:

Powerful pink, free and not cheesy: Gone is any glimpse of bullshit. The color shakes the corny to paint a new dawn. 

Besides excellent copy writing, the new fashion editorial is lensed by Kristian Schuller, as Francesca Rinciari delivers summer style from Dolce & Gabbana, Valentina, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Prada and more. 

Note that AOC hopes that the birds flocking to the pink passion model don't reference Tippi Hedren in Alfred Hitchcock's film 'The Birds'. Then again, maybe it does in a very sophisticated, subliminal way rather than the superficial one that first came to mind. The facts are that the bird attacks on Hedren in 'The Birds' were real. She was bleeding as a furious, controlling Hitchcock launched one bird attack after another on the actor, who had spurned his dominating, Harvey Weinstein I OWN YOU sexual advances in making the film. 

Rather than endure Hitchcock's controlling demands over her private life, Tippi Hedren walked away, and Hitchcock's warning that she would never work again in Hollywood went into action. She was banned. Tippi Hedren was an original #MeToo woman and her testimony about what she endured has inspired us all.

Model Karolin Wolter is styled by Suzanne Koller in 'I Dreamed of Africa', lensed by Colin Dodgson for T Magazine May 20, 2018.

The accompanying article by Thessaly La Force 'A Solo Sojourn Inspired by Edith Wharton's 'In Morocco', published in 1920 when she traveled the region with Hubert Lyautey, who served as the resident general of French Morocco from 1912 to 1925. By the end of the First World War, Morocco was still a colonial entity, divided between French and Spanish powers (the country would claim independence in 1956). There were no English-language guidebooks and few accounts from those who had traveled past the international port city of Tangier (“frowsy, familiar Tangier, that every tourist has visited for the last forty years,” Wharton complained in her book). 

Like most rich and successful people with the means to travel, Wharton observed that Morocco's beauty was is vast decay, without ever observing or considering once the damge colonialism may have caused throughout the African continent. Wharton writes: “Overripeness is indeed the characteristic of this rich and stagnant civilization. Buildings, people, customs, seem all about to crumble and fall of their own weight: the present is a perpetually prolonged past.”

In this aspect of her observations, Wharton was trapped in her white privilege. Nevertheless, writes La Force, Wharton possessed a blunt understanding of "the devastating truth that women, no matter where in the world, were trapped by their own society. Wharton may have had grave blind spots, but she knew very well that her own freedom — as an educated woman unencumbered by children, with a great inheritance and a greater intellect — was rare." Read on at T Magazine.

On living in Boston: 

“Why do I live here? It’s called love,” Gisele says. “I love my husband. My kids were born here, in our old apartment on Beacon Street. They’re little Bostonians, and they love the weather. But I’m not going to lie. Cold is not my flavor. I’m Brazilian. I’d rather live barefoot in a hut in the middle of the forest somewhere.”
