Loro Piana Holiday 2025 Campaign in Swiss Alps
Styled by Aleksandra Woroniecka, the campaign welcomes returning Loro Piana photographer Annemarieke Van Drimmelen [IG], who shot the campaign at the Grand Chalet, vacation home of the renowned painter Balthus.
Built in 1754 in the heart of the Swiss Alps, in a place called Rossinière, the former hotel is a Swiss heritage site and one of the largest wooden structures in Europe.
Today, it is the home and studio of Balthus’ daughter Harumi Klossowska de Rola and her family. More than a mere residence, it is where heritage, art, and savoir-vivre are in constant conversation between generations.
Chanel SS-2026 Details Up Close and Personal Lensed by Louise and Maria Thornfeldt
AOC’s response to quiet Chanel news was OMG! But of course Matthieu Blazy [IG] will use Louise & Maria Thornfeldt at Chanel [IG]. And these fabulous details photographs truly bring Blazy’s Chanel debut collection to life.
These are some of the best photos AOC has seen in revealing textures and details up close and personal. And the show backdrop is stellar, even cosmic.
The textures, the weaves and embellishments. The jewelry and attitude of modernity. It’s also about Matthieu Blazy’s relationship with women — which is quite extraordinary from what I’ve read.

Adut Akech & Kiki Cover Vogue Australia November 2025 by Campbell Addy
Now that Anne has gotten over seeing supermodel Adut Akech wearing Jarrod Reid, reminding her of famed ballet dancer Judith Jamison on stage in ‘Cry’, she can think straight.
If only AOC could commission photographer Campbell Addy [IG], creator of these stunning images for the November 2025 issue of Vogue Australia [IG], to capture that famous, powerful and transformational American ballet with his creative eye.
Campbell Addy also takes the interview, which is really nice. You can read the convo between the creatives on Vogue Australia.
Adut’s Advice to Kiki
Artist Addy asks Adut what advice she would give to daughter Kiki when she grows up.
“I would give her the same advice I was given, and that is, no matter what you do in this life or where you go, or where your journey takes you, do your absolute best to try and remain true to your authentic self.”
Deva Cassel in Maria Grazia Chiuri's Last Dior Resort 2026 Collection in L'Official China
Actor and Christian Dior ambassador Deva Cassel covers L’Officiel China October 2025 wearing Maria Grazia Chiuri’s final Resort 2026 collection for the house of Dior.
Deva was born in Rome to an Italian mother [Monica Bellucci] and French father [Vincent Cassel]. She lived in France and was schooled there, although Italian is one of the five languages she speaks fluently.
Anne of Carversville was focused on the growing influence of Italy before the world got its first American pope on May 8th. In writing about the Louis Vuitton resort 2026 show, Anne said that all roads lead to Italy. That statement is rock solid today, and we’re about to get a global history lesson in the coming years.

Ballbreakers and Billionaires
Featured
Model Dorit Revelis covers the May 2025 issue of Vogue Netherlands [IG], dedicated to the global sisterhood.
I trust that Trump and Musk won’t ban this issue of Vogue Netherlands dedicated to sisterhood — but anything is possible in our current mess of a country.
Update on Trump, Musk and Kennedy Cancelling America’s largest and longest-running women’s healthcare research project on Wed. night: The American Women coalition beat back this billionaire boys club cancellation of our women’s health research in less than 24 hrs.
This is not a game for nice little women.
We Ballbreaker ladies are not to be messed with in trench warfare with Billionaires. And ESPECIALLY with Elon Musk, who can’t seem to run his own businesses effectively, let-alone buy the US federal government for a pittance.
Presumably, Musk expects American taxpayers to finance his alleged genius, as we already financed $38 billion of his pet projects.
In April 2022, Republican State Senator Lana Theis claimed in a campaign fundraising email that State Sen. Mallory McMorrow wanted to "groom and sexualize kindergartners." On April 19, 2022, McMorrow took to the senate floor to defend herself against Theis's accusations, stating:
"I am the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme.”
This week State Sen. McMorrow announced her run for the open Michigan US Senate Seat created by the unexpected retirement of Democrat Senator Gary Peters.
AOC can’t imagine a better Michigan Senate candidate than the forceful, inspiring white-lady ballbreaker Mallory McMorrow, emerging as a tour de force political candidate against MAGA and for Michiganders. McMorrow is a Michigan-based nutcracker in the tradition of ‘Big Gretch’, Michigan Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer.
