It’s in keeping with the month of May in England that model Evie Saunders appears in the fashion story ‘Flower Power’, the cover story for the May 11th, 2025 issue of The Sunday Times Style [IG].
With two exceptions, ‘Flower Power’ fashion, styled by Verity Parker, is quite sedate, especially compared to Catherine’s Rose. Brendan Freeman [IG] captures Evie in pale, floaty ensembles with humongous shoes. It’s a look./ Hair and makeup by Makiko Nara

Buzz-cut model Celina Ralph does business class, styled by Verity Parker in masculine suiting, crisp shirts and a tie for images by Ina Levy [IG].
It could be that fashion comes to rest around Celina Ralph’s body type as much more aspirational than in the past. And Ralph is in good company with shrinking-bodies models on Ozympic-style drugs. She cites her concerns generally on this topic:
“We have to be careful of tokenism,” she says. “Of course we celebrate when designers and brands celebrate women of different sizes, but there has to be longevity, and we definitely haven’t got there yet. What we need in this industry is variation — we need all different versions of beauty.”
Factually-speaking, about 50% of luxury sales in clothing are coming from 1% of the population. Very, very few of those women are not model size, and they’ve always been thin.
We have more than four-years of luxury brands featuring significant numbers of larger-size models on the runway with little or no financial payback. Celina Ralph may be the body type all brands can embrace in today’s business climate, also bodies like Ashley Graham’s, who is a tour de force far beyond her body size.
After all, many of us are trying to save democratic governments and core human rights in our politics. Our focus is just not on the psychological demands of these women.

Top model and talented actor Cara Delevingne talked details of her sobriety journey in yesterday’s interview with The Sunday Times July 7, 2024 issue.
Writer Vassi Chamberlain recalled meeting the mischievous Delevingne for the first time at her aunt’s wedding in 2001. It’s unlikely she was prepared for Cara’s response.
“You know I got drunk that day,” she says. “I was eight, what a crazy age to get drunk.”
The Delevigne sisters are daughters of their famous mother Pandora Delevingne, who first used heroin days after her 18th birthday. One assumes that being diagnosed with a serious bipolar condition, coupled with drug use presented very big challenges for Pandora’s daughters.

When a resort-focus fashion story opens with model Devyn Garcia styled by Verity Parker in classic, white swimsuits from sustainable brand Jade Swim and queen of rich understatement Loro Piana, we know that a hot Pucci print is probably not waiting in our digital scroll.
Today, photographer Ina Levy [IG], who is also editor-in-chief of Vogue Poland, captures Devyn Garcia in classic swimwear and coverups that will “suit everyone”, writes The Sunday Times Style [IG] section.
Top model Cameron Russell, now 36, has a new memoir ‘How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone’, and it sounds hot. On the book’s cover, original supermodel Christy Turlington calls it “A unique and honest perspective on the fashion industry.”
Verity Parker styles the outspoken fashion industry and environmental activist in the usual luxury brands lineup, with cover looks by Miu Miu shot by photographer Clément Pasca [IG].
Reading her Sunday Times UK [IG]interview withMegan Agnew in the March 10th issue, we learn that on her second fashion shoot, the young-model Russell was told she had “cocksucker lips”.
The Goal Was Model Submission
Russell comes at the topic of this hopefully-waning, fashion-industry reality from a fresh perspective, not an exclusively sexual one.

Nineties fashion star Kristen McMenamy has always challenged traditional beauty standards, appearing as a good witch, an ethereal divine goddess or the consummate, goth fashion vampire to her adoring fans.
In 1993 Kristen McMenamy told Harper’s Bazaar"All I ever wanted was for people to not pick on me."
Thirty years later, the similar refrain of young fashion models on Instagram is rebroadcast in Gavanndra Hodge’s new interview with the 58-year-old, Pennsylvania-original in today’s October 15, 2023 Sunday Times Style [IG].
Model Jean Campbell is living proof that the Burberry fall collection is recognizable anywhere. The September 17, 2023 issue of Sunday Times Style [IG] devotes the cover and two interior shots to the color-saturated, big-smile, Burberry twist on printed animals.

Top model Grace Elizabeth covers the September 10, 2023 The Big Fall Fashion issue of Sunday Times Style, wearing a skirt suit and handbag by Miu Miu.
Inside the ‘Business Class’ fashion story, styled by associate fashion editor Verity Parker, the mini check, cashmere coat from Ferragamo’s Maximilian Davis takes center stage, with The Row’s Idaho bag reminding us the turbo bags are the season’s must have for women with a lot to do.
In the words of Laura Craik, writing for The Sunday Times Style magazine September 3, 2023, Debra Shaw “thrums with good energy”. A key reason for Shaw’s longevity as a couture model lies in her humanist spirit.
Fabien Montique [IG] captures Shaw in the fashion story ‘Red Hot’, wearing Celine by Hedi Slimane on the cover. Note an outtake from Montique that is very VROOM VROOM. “I like wearing red — it’s a powerful colour,” says Shaw.
For AOC, Shaw’s self-analysis of her secret to her longevity is a life lesson for all of us. It involves:
“. . . being open, being flexible and not having the ego involved in areas that it doesn’t need to be involved in. You can have the ego on stage because that helps the performance, but coming in and demanding things? That doesn’t work with this [younger] generation. It should never have worked, because the reality is we’re all pulling together. So be a team player.”
Super talent Hailey Bieber takes the stage in the May 14th, 2023 issue of The Sunday Times Style [IG], wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello on the cover.

Ellie Austin conducts the interview, which is focused primarily on her very successful [and lauded on AOC] skincare brand Rhode.
The entrepreneur and in-demand model-talent does make a health claim that caused my heart to hit the floor, given the times we are living in.
Apparently Hailey makes the claim often, and if estimates are that 10 people in 10,000 have this side effect annually, she may well be on the short list. Bieber makes no uber-rare disclaimer around her health assertion, so the right-wingers Maga crowd just runs wild with it.
AOC shares the facts around her claim from the world-respected Cleveland Clinic.
