AOC adores these poetic images of Kaia Gerber’s 1960s Coke-can curls. Other key words from this big-hair period in America are bouffant and the beehive.

We think that only southern girls from that era believed “The higher the hair, the closer to God”, and definitely in Georgia.

Remembering Naomi Campbell’s 1991 snap with Coke can rollers, this may be a good fashion story — Coke can curls, beer can curls. We are on it!

i-D Magazine’s March 2023 issue no. 371 ‘The Timeless Issue’ refers to channeling Old Hollywood in this fashion story styled by Alastair McKimm. Perhaps.

To AOC, it’s less grand than Old Hollywood but with the same aspirations. Kaia is Southern girl cotillion-ready. And Tyler, look at this gorgeous picture of a Black debutante ball.

You can see the fashion story at i-D, and order the issue.

Photographer Tyler Mitchell [IG] brings his intimate focus on creating art that uplifts everyday-people to this creative shoot and the results are grade A.

Not that Kaia Gerber is an everyday person, but she transforms before Tyler’s lens into a character straight out of a Tennessee Williams play. Love it!

Anthuriums have an obvious pedigree as sex-symbol flowers. And they work perfectly in these fresh images.
