Daphne Groeneveld Blends Surrealism and Sensuality in Numéro Switzerland #2 March 2025
/Daphne Groeneveld once again brings her major modeling talents to Numéro Switzerland’s Surreal Issue, March 2025. With two covers and a fashion story celebrating designer Christian Siriano [IG], Ayumi Perry styles Daphne and models Brandon Good and Hunter Warr. Photographer Petros Kouiouris [IG] captures the ensemble in chill images with a subversive vibe.
Earlier this week AOC responded to Daphne’s strong performance in a Louboutin Beauty’s 2025 Rouge Stiletto Vinyl Gloss Campaign with a first look at the lives of courtesans across the world. With the rise of the patriarchy and its intention to control women and especially their childbearing capacity, courtesans existed in most — if not all — major cultures worldwide. They were among the most educated and talented women who refused to abandon their earlier independence and places of influence in Mesopotamia.
Yes, they did have sexual relationships with their favorite man or men, but they also appeared in high society on his arm or — in the case of Greece — in intellectual symposiums.
AOC won’t jump to conclusions and call them power brokers, although many were. What is important is not considering them as ‘mere’ high-class prostitutes.
