/

Top model Grace Elizabeth and top photographer Elizaveta Porodina [IG] create a dazzling, siren-calling, ‘Mermaid’ duet in the July 2023 issue of Vogue Spain [IG].

Note that sirens were half human/half birds, a fact long-lost in the 21st century.

Tati Cotliar styles Grace Elizabeth — born a water baby in Lake City, Florida between Jacksonville and Tallahassee — in bodycon, hot-weather shimmering style perfect for a Florida starfish.

David Webb Spirited TOTEM Collection by Elizaveta Porodina

David Webb believed that jewelry and gems should be treated as artworks. Nearly every ancient culture around the world inspired the North Carolina man, who also had big dreams.

Webb’s primary source of global inspiration was a near-obsession with studying artifacts and art at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art [Met].

Webb drew inspiration from "the human spirit" and aligned his designs with the cultural changes of the 1960s and 70s, which embraced jewelry that was more “soulful and meaningful”.

Under its new owners, David Webb combusts a spectacular opportunity for the brand’s future and David Webb’s personal legacy. Anne is so excited.

Sydney Sweeney, Caught in the Moment by Elizaveta Porodina for WSJ Magazine

Sydney Sweeney is the ‘woman of the hour’ today and not because of her gorgeous photoshoot by Elizaveta Porodina [IG] in the September 2025 issue of WSJ Magazine [IG].

She’s not the ‘woman of the hour’ because of a led-by-the-right to bait-the-left manufactured controversy over her recent American Eagle ads.

We don’t know yet if Charlie Kirk’s killer, now-in-custody Tyler Robinson, 22, took him out over the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle manufactured-by-the-right controversy. His laundry list of hate will be revealed in the coming days.

The reason Sydney Sweeney is loud and proud today is because her November 2025 release ‘Christy’ movie trailer dropped hours ago, and it’s a blockbuster.

Malala Yousafzai Brings Wit and Grit to GQ Hero Interview, Lensed by Elizaveta Porodina

Shot-in-the head while sitting on her school-bus in 2012, Taliban gunman survivor Malala Yousafzai was among the British GQ Heroes 2025 honored in early July. AOC notes that Brunello Cucinelli was also among the artists, activists and radical thinkers at the two-day event and on the cover of British GQ’s special issue. We must track him down.

GQ’s interview by Adam Baidawi launches on a private practice golf range an hour southeast of London. And she is giving him instructions.

The Uncomfortable Truths for Activists

Much of the interview is devoted to all the back-sliding happening around the world on women’s rights — and especially in Afghanistan, where Malala is deeply involved in girl’s education. And how activism has gone lukewarm in many countries around the world.

Badawai asks a critical question:

What’s an uncomfortable truth about the work that you do?

Doechii Covers British Vogue August 2025 Issue, Lensed by Elizaveta Porodina

I’ll not derail this spectacular British Vogue [IG] August 2025 issue cover story starring Doechii, with the origin of the expression ‘hell on wheels’. Or how it morphed into a gender-specific phrase applied to women.

Stella Greenspan styles Doechii in regal clothes from top luxury houses, lensed by Elizaveta Porodina.

Vogue writer Jazmine Hughes, author of Doechii’s cover story ‘“I Was Born To Do This”: Hip-Hop Disruptor Doechii On The Year She Entered The Stratosphere’ covers a wide berth in the interview.

Life is good for Florida’s self-described Swamp Princess, who grew up in Tampa, Fla. Here we get a taste of Doechii’s sound.

Ursula Corberó Covers Vogue España May 2025 in Elizaveta Porodina Excavation

Ursula Corberó covers the May 2025 issue of Vogue Espana [IG], styled by Helena Tejedor in layered images that project her status as a female action hero player.

In her latest performance as Nuria, the unknowing wife of the mysterious assassin, ‘The Jackal’ [played by Eddie Redmayne], Corberó shifts from her usual intense-characters portfolio to one that is more delicate and emotional.

The type of intensity has transformed. Dare we say this reflection of women is more ‘complex’?

Who better to photograph a talented, female actor playing a ‘psychologically complex’ woman than Elizaveta Porodina? [IG] The uber-talented creator of wide-ranging visual portraits of women is comfortable describing the female terrain called ‘dark sorcery’, a term that takes many of us to the historical reality of ‘witch-burning’ — or hanging witches in America — directed primarily against women.

Anne asks: As humans, don’t we create some kind of storyline around the simplest observation we have of another person? What’s our storytelling accuracy rate with the real story behind actors and the life dramas they play out before our eyes? Perhaps 10%?

Porodina and her fellow players explore women’s layered selves with eyes wide open.
