Tyler Mitchell Shoots Ralph Lauren Pre-Fall 2025 Campaign | AOC Talks Values

We’re living in a moment of small victories,and surely photographer Tyler Mitchell [IG] feels great pride — and his family even moreso — over Mitchell shooting the Ralph Lauren [IG] Pre-Fall 2025 Campaign. Ralph Lauren carries great symbolism and respect in the Black community.

Ralph Lauren 2024/25 Business Results

The top leadership got big raises coming off an excellent 2024 performance that resulted in a 16.8 percent increase in the stock price for the year ending March 31.

Since March 31, the stock has risen another 20 percent.

Ralph Lauren’s Strong in China

Like Hermès, Brunello Cucinelli, and Prada, Ralph Lauren’s Asia business is very strong.

In China Ralph Lauren saw 20 percent growth in China in their 4th quarter ending March 2025.

Louvet has definite opinions about why the business is strong in China:

It’s important to keep in mind that Ralph founded this company on values that are pretty universal: optimism, authenticity, timelessness, elegance, family. Those are globally relevant and are resonating wherever we play, including markets where you might be concerned about anti-American sentiment.

Charlotte Gainsbourg takes a cover of W Magazine Korea [IG] Vol.7 July 2025 ‘Women In Motion’ issue. Peter Ash Lee [IG] captures the actor wearing Saint Laurent throughout the fashion story, styled by Shin Kim, with creative direction by Nat Canguilhem, who also collaborated with Nicolas Salet aka ne3ko on last week’s Saint Laurent SS2026 mens show in Paris. / Hair by Yuji Okuda; Yusaku Nakahara

The Saint Laurent talent shares that making the documentary ‘Jane by Charlotte’ about her mother Jane Birkin became a very complex endeavor.

The problem is that I started without knowing what I wanted. That must have been dissatisfied with mom. Because I was too vague. Mom must have thought I would make a documentary about her professional life and work. I didn't want to make something that would have already been made about my mother, and I wanted a much more personal story. So my mother was uncomfortable with my approach at first, and eventually stopped working for about 2 years. In the meantime, I came to understand what I really wanted to do.

Sharon Stone Is Modern Goddess with Ancient Roots in Vogue Adria June 2025

Sharon Stone Is Modern Goddess with Ancient Roots in Vogue Adria June 2025

Actor, activist, humanist and hardcore ballbreaker Sharon Stone is the cover star of Vogue Adria [IG] June 2025. Stone is joined by models Gabriel Aubry and Adam Senn in a provocative fashion story styled by Paris Libby.

Photographer Branislav Simoncik [IG] captures the visual narrative that reminds us of 90s Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and even Valentino. It intrigues me to review French luxury brands and Italian brands historically on this idea.

In its simplest form, Sharon Stone is a glass half full person. And she is the consummate ballbreaker.

Right wingers insist that ballbreakers are narcissistic women consumed with our own self-image and self-contained universe. In fact, ballbreakers are more likely to be exactly the opposite.

Louis Vuitton Is Soul of LVMH 'Strategic Layering' Paradigm-Busting F1 Deal

Louis Vuitton Is Soul of LVMH 'Strategic Layering' Paradigm-Busting F1 Deal

Formula 1 [FI] has moved into the fast lane, striking new business alliances with Apple and LVMH starring Louis Vuitton in 2025.

Today we focus on LV and F1, with visuals from the new Formula 1 and the Apple Original Films' highly-anticipated movie movie in F1. The movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris opens June 27.

Fresh off winning the prestigious 2025 Cannes Lions Grand Prix for their partnership with the Paris 2025 Olympic Games, this new F1 relationship announced in late 2024 represents what is called the LVMH “strategic narrative layering” approach across its maisons.

The fastest growing segment of F1 fandom is young women. From AOC’s perspective, layering bottles of Moët & Chandon into the F1 celebration experience, tying it directly to the Louis Vuitton brand experience is simply brilliant.

But hey — what do I understand understand about business in a purely transactional Wall Street world universe? ~ Anne

Revered in Ancient Cultures, Whales Were Hunted Worldwide by Man’s Desire for Dominion Over Nature

Revered in Ancient Cultures, Whales Were Hunted Worldwide by Man’s Desire for Dominion Over Nature

AOC continues to learn more about the history and evolution of whales, inspired by supermodel Vittoria Ceretti’s revelation in the April 2025 issue of Vogue France, that she was a whale in another life.

In this article, Anne learns about the early transition and evolution of an ancestral group called the cetaceans dating back 50 million years ago into modern world mammals. We also explore the relationship that indigenous peoples had with whales worldwide.

In 19th century Britain, cultural attitudes towards whaling were shaped by a combination of economic necessity, imperial ambition, and a burgeoning environmental awareness that was only beginning to emerge. It lacked a storied romanticism about the heroic whaler himself — a concept fundamental to the American story.
