Loli Bahia in 'La Renaissance of Chic' for Vogue France December 2024 by Mert & Marcus

In the Vogue France [IG] December 2024 cover story ‘La Renaissance du Chic’, the fashion emphasis is a blend of sophistication, elegance and simplicity. A feeling of modernity mixed with classicism. It’s both an attitude and a natural way of being. It’s simply Parisian.

Iconic photographers Mert Alas [IG] & MarcusPiggott [IG] alongside top stylist Alastair McKimm, photograph the multicultural Algerian-French beauty Loli Bahia, a young woman of her time and already a top-flight fashion model.

‘A Beloved Diamond in the Rough’

Vogue France’s Alexandre Marain affectionately calls the girl from Lyon ‘a diamond in the rough’ — actually a possessive ‘our’ diamond.

Bahia is cherished by French luxury fashion and beyond as ‘their young woman’, a living embodiment of a global, multicultural French aesthetic with a complex history — one this young woman embraces fully. Learn more about her in AOC Fashion

Gucci's Fall 2024 Campaign Prompts AOC's Research Into Lobotomies for Women

AOC has searched for days to find something positive about Gucci’s Fall 2024 Campaign [IG] with models Alaato Jazyper, Jiahui Zhang and Loli Bahia. Riccardo Zanola acts as artistic director in images styled by Alasdair McKimm and lensed by David Sims [IG]. / Hair by Duffy; makeup by Lucia Pieroni

Gucci Creative Director Sabato De Sarno sits atop this campaign, as he methodically and slowly ponders his way out of the red-ink mess that is today’s Gucci brand.

Global luxury brands Gucci and Burberry are vying for first place in this sea of red ink. Gucci — with its strong, leather-goods business — should not be in the same car-wreck pileup that includes Burberry, who does not have iconic handbags.

Not only has the Fall 2024 Campaign prompted AOC to investigate the history of brain lobotomies as a medical treatment for women disproportionally. Anne’s very high-grade, brain wiring just recalled the extreme degree of misogyny in the Italian Futurist movement, launched in 1909 by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Read our insights on this subject.
