Vogue wrote about Kennah Lau in spring 2017:
At 25, Kennah Lau represents a new set of models who are entering the business as adults. Spotted at a Vermont coffee shop by scouts at Next Management last year, Lau already had a husband, job, and sense of self when she was pulled into fashion. This season, she made her presence felt at shows like Alexander Wang, Emilio Pucci, and Balenciaga, emerging as one of the most interesting beauties on the scene. Tattooed, androgynous, and undeniably cool, Lau brought something special to each show she walked.

Doutzen Kroes Says Ambassador Role For #Knot On My Planet Gives Her Sense Of Purpose
Supermodel Doutzen Kroes didn’t just become an activist two years ago, but the Dutch superstar model, mom, wife, design collaborator and activist for humanity tells Vanity Fair that it’s her role as global ambassador for #Knot on My Planet that gives her a tremendous sense of purpose.
Vanity Fair checked in with Kroes before shooting the new #Knot on My Planet campaign with Naomi Campbell and Serena Williams also part of the production. The Knot on My Planet elephant conservation effort gained momentum when Reed Krakoff became chief artistic officer of Tiffany & Co. last year. The new collection will expand beyond elephants to also include rhino and lion pieces.
Tiffany has partnered with the Elephant Crisis Fund on the #KnotOnMyPlanet campaign, launching an initial campaign featuring Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington Burns, Naomi Campbell and other prominent voices tying a knot to never forget elephants under threat from ivory poachers.
While there has been some good news — China banned all commercial ivory trading in 2017 — the situation remains bleak in many African countries. Most recently, nearly 100 elephants were discovered dead in Botswana, a country that has relaxed its elephant protection policies under its newly-elected president Mokgweetsi Masisi. New reports in Africa are that Botswana is also considering lifting its hunting ban.
Followup October. 21, 2018: The New York Times wrote on September 28 an article ‘Doubts Mount in Botswana Over Charity’s Claim of Elephant ‘Poaching Frenzy’.
We will dig much deeper into the very thoughtful arguments raised in this article concerning the influences of outside groups involved in elephant conservation being pitted against the wishes and interests of native Africans living on the land. The NYT article is too complex and valuable a read to treat it as an addendum.

Returning to Tiffany & Co, Anisa Kamadoli Costa, chief sustainability officer at Tiffany and chairman and president of The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, sat down with Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton, founder of Save the Elephants, to discuss his tireless efforts on behalf of these magnificent creatures and what we can all do to help.

LA Moves To Ban Fur Sales & Manufacture, Following San Francisco, West Hollywood & Berkeley

LA Moves To Ban Fur Sales & Manufacture, Following San Francisco, West Hollywood & Berkeley
Los Angeles, long associated with red carpet glitz and glamour, has voted to ban the sale of fur products, making it the largest American city to respond to a unanimous City Council vote to draft an ordinance that will ultimately prohibit the manufacture and sale of new fur products within the city.
Projected to take two years to institute, the first step is to draft a city ordinance that takes into consideration “how fur apparel is utilized by religious organizations, and possible exemptions, as well as potential conflicts with federal and state laws relating to sale of fur products derived from legally trapped animals,” writes The LA Times.
West Hollywood already has a fur ban, but the law was changed to exempt fur from animals legally trapped under state law. Berkeley and San Francisco have fur bans, adapted to comply with local laws and ordinances.
Keith Kaplan, spokesman for the Fur Information Council of America, a trade group for manufacturers and fur merchants, argued that global retail fur sales are $35.8 billion and that more than 1 million people were employed, as of 2014.
Big industry brands abandoning fur in their collections include Michael Kors, Armani, Gucci and most recently Burberry.
The current London Fashion Week promoted itself as being fur free.

Alma Jodorowsky Is Carefree Code Coco Girl In Theo Wenner's Fall/Winter 2018
French actor, fashion model and singer Alma Jodorowsky is a carefree Code Coco girl, showcasing the watch in Theo Wenner’s Fall/Winter 2018 campaign, styled by Belén Casadevall.
#MeToo movement? Chanel is having none of it! Contemporary politics and fighting to keep her birth control? These are not worries in a Coco woman’s world. More female chefs? Who needs them when men do such a splendid job of running everything.
Code Coco watches are “meant to be intriguing, with its parts working together to cleverly reveal different design elements — much like a code,” wrote SCMP last fall. Perhaps it’s all a ruse . . . the Code Coco woman is really in charge . . . like her trust fund owns the whole shooting hotel match, so she doesn’t have a care in the world. She’s really the boss lady in disguise.

Reflecting on ‘Big Little Lies’, Kravitz says that the large number of women around her and making her a better actor:
Our crew right now, on Big Little Lies, is great. There are so many women on our set—it’s so cool. I feel a different kind of energy, this feminine energy. Not only because the cast is dominated by women, but also because props and costume and grips and lighting and camera operators are too. My experience doing all my emotional scenes, I’ve never felt so safe and supported. It’s really allowing me to go to a deeper place.

Designed by art director Shona Heath, one of Walker’s closest friends, the exhibition will include photographs, films, photographic sets and special installations, as well as a series of newly commissioned works inspired the V&A archive. This Karen Elson editorial ‘Deliver Us’ is one of those new works.
“The beautiful and eclectic objects housed in the V&A have influenced Tim since the start of his career,” Susanna Brown, curator of the Tim Walker exhibition at the V&A, shared in the press announcement. “He has spent months exploring our collection and delving deep into the museum stores to gain inspiration for his new pictures, which will form the heart of the exhibition. It will celebrate the contributions of his many talented collaborators and muses too. This is a project we've been talking about for several years, and it's going to be a spectacular show.”
