Chanel in New Orleans for Vogue Poland May 2025 | Discover the Whitney Plantation

Vogue Poland’s [IG] May 2025 issue returns to New Orleans, one of their favorite haunts. The more AOC studies American history, the greater the impact Louisiana — and New Orleans specifically — has had on the American nation.

The most daring editorial action that Vogue Poland could take is to visit the Whitney Plantation, which is a small but equally-resonating experience to visiting the concentration camps in Europe.

We cannot understand the sorrowful beauty of the Whitney and it’s relationship to New Orleans, without understanding the historical synergy between Louisiana and Haiti.
