Top model, former Victoria’s Secret superstar, serious businesswoman, life partner to actor Jason Statham since 2010 and mom to Jack and Isabella, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley covers the December 2024 issue of Vogue Czechoslovakia [IG].
Sarah Gore Reeves styles Rosie in the elegant, sophisticated neutrals for which she is known in images by photographers duo Kulesza & Pik [IG].
As many have written, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was wearing a quiet luxury wardrobe long before the term was invented. Picks here include Burberry, Erdem, Issey Miyake, Maison Alaia, Saint Laurent and more. / Makeup by Isamaya Ffrench; hair by Shon

Vogue Poland at Netflix's ‘The Leopard' Author Giuseppe Tomasi Home in Palermo
The November 2024 issue of Vogue Poland [IG] is dedicated to the synergy between cinema and fashion. The fashion story featuring Africa Garcia was styled by London-based Ashlee Barrett-Bourmier, under the title ‘marzenia ściętych głów’ [‘Dreams of Decapitated Heads’].
Looking at the translated title of the story, AOC’s reaction was “what in the world!!” Then we discovered that James Giles [IG] photographed the story in the last home of Giuseppe Tomasi, author of ‘The Leopard’, in the Palazzo Lanza Tomasi, Palermo, Italy.

The Leopard’ provides a richly detailed and introspective exploration of Sicilian aristocracy during the Risorgimento, capturing the complexities of historical transitions into a unified Italy in the novel and Netflix series. Across Europe similar movements were attached to the creation of liberal democracies.

Sporty & Rich Arrives for Just in Time for Holidays at Carlyle Hotel New York City
In this November 2024 drop, The Carlyle New York [IG], a Rosewood Hotel, joins Oetker Collection hotels Le Bristol Paris and Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France in launching a custom collaboration with this truly impressive, big-wings brand-potential business Sporty & Rich [IG], founded by Emily Oberg.
In June 2024, Sporty & Rich collaborated with select Rosewood Asaya spas including the Rosewood São Paolo.
In an interview with Glossy in August 2023, Oberg pegged S&R’s revenue at $30 million with a goal of $200 million.
We think it’s much higher, with branding and product synergies that share much in common with SKIMS.
Emily Oberg is not Kim Kardashian, for sure. But she compensates for some of the name-recognition deficit with these rock-solid, prestige hotel alliances that can open new doors and rain money with reorders and fresh collaborations for years.
One can easily argue that Emily Oberg has aligned herself with “old money” hotels — and golf courses in the future — that have many stories to share about the lives of the world’s global elites.
The November 2024 issue of W Magazine China makes a vivid fashion impression with the fashion story ‘One Step Forward’. Five models are featured in the fashion production: América González, Chloe Oh, Mila van Eeten, Rejoice Chuol and Vika Evseeva.

The 2018 Debut of Coco Neige with Margot Robbie Had Deep Roots in Chanel's History
In 2018, Margot Robbie launched Chanel’s first Coco Neige campaign, which was Chanel's first official subbrand for ski and après-ski wear. Featured in these images by the now-passed creative director Karl Lagerfeld himself, Robbie spoke very fondly about the experience of working with the head of the House of Chanel from 1983-2019.
AOC visited the the original campaign after posting the new Chanel Coco Neige 2024/5 campaign, lensed by Juergen Teller with model Loli Bahia. Asking a question of our precious AI about Coco Chanel and if she actually skied, Anne fell down a rabbit hole that has reoriented her entire thinking about Chanel.
Her interest in skiing was not only a personal pastime but also a social event that allowed her to mingle with the elite, continually fueling her creative vision in the process and also captivating new clients for her brand.
Coco had a profound and enduring level of help from her friend, financier, collaborator and lover Arthur "Boy" Capel in penetrating this elite St. Moritz society.

AOC can’t verify that weather prediction for major ski resorts in Europe. But if you are wearing Chanel Coco Neige for cocooning at a ski lodge, you probably have global options regarding where to land the plane.
Chanel ‘Coco Neige’ History
The first Coco Neige collection and campaign dropped in 2018, created by luxury visionary uber-talent Karl Lagerfeld and starring Margot Robbie. Coco Neige promoted itself as a combination of high-tech clothing and winter ready-to-wear.

‘Tous les garçons et les filles’ [1962]
Françoise Hardy, a seminal figure in 1960s pop music, captivated audiences with her distinct voice and stylish presence, marking her rise to fame during this transformative decade. Born in Paris in 1944, Hardy emerged in an era where the youth culture was blossoming, creating a fertile ground for her talents to flourish. Her journey to stardom commenced with the release of her debut single ‘Tous les garçons et les filles’ in 1962.
The rising music phenom was a central figure of the Yé-Yé wave, that characterized post-war Europe.
Francoise Hardy Fashion Muse
Hardy had an innate ability to blend contemporary trends with classic elements, often wearing tailored mini skirts, chic trench coats, and perfectly fitted turtlenecks. Her love for monochromatic palettes and understated patterns allowed her natural beauty and grace to shine through, making her a muse for designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Paco Rabanne.

A NYT Darling Deserves His Status
Not for the first time, the New York Times Style shares another major feature on Bottega under Matthieu Blazy. In doing so, they advance the hot topic of craft beyond superb execution and often ‘dusty’ heritage into the world of the creative director role itself.
At Bottega Veneta, Blazy champions his craftspeople for their role in the creative process. His is a rare ego in the world of luxury brands.
The Times introduces us to Barbara Zanin, a 26-year veteran of the brand who became Bottega Veneta’s first director of craft and heritage in July.
