Akiima, Charlee Fraser, Andreja Pejic & Fernanda Ly Promote Diverse Faces Of Australian Fashion
Models Akiima, Charlee Fraser, Andreja Pejic and Fernanda Ly cover the April 2018 issue of Vogue Australia, lensed by Patrick Demarchelier, posing as people first and fashion models second. The quartet pens pwerful and personal stories for the issue, with their histories highlighted before their favorite face savers. Still, the cover story promotes them as 'The Faces Uniting Australian Fashion'.
Vogue Australia's editor-in-chief Edwina McCann says of the issue: "“It felt timely to celebrate that fact, because it truly reflects who we are. Despite being a multicultural country, we have long subscribed to a homogenous standard of beauty. Charlee Fraser, Akiima, Fernanda Ly and Andreja Pejić prove that thinking – and casting – is archaic.”
Portuguese model and VS Angel Sara Sampaio is the new face of Graff Diamonds. Lensed by Patrick Demarchelier for Graff's Green Lady campaign Sara shines wearing a pair of 50 carat emerald cut diamond earrings as well as a 35 carat emerald cut D Flawless diamond ring.
In November 2015 How To Spend It Magazine interviewed Laurence Graff, chairman of Graff Diamonds, in advance of the sale of an exceptional diamond called Blue Moon, in advance of its Sotheby's sale for $48.5m.
Vivienne Becker amplifies the impact Laurence Graff has had on the fine jewelry business with his pioneering mine-to-market business model. Graff brought together "the disparate sectors of the traditional fragmented diamond supply chain, with its total disconnect between the miners at the source, the cutters and dealers and the artistry of the finished jewels."
AOC hasn't written about diamonds and blood diamonds for several years, but the journey to market of the 'Peace' diamond caught our attention.
It was Laurence Graff who won the Dec. 2017 bidding in New York, acquiring the so-called 'Peace' diamond from the government of Sierra Leone.

The March 2018 issue of Vogue Arabia sent gasps through the fashion industry as rising model Imaan Hammam joined forces with supermodel and industry icon Iman Abdulmajid on one of three industry covers. Michael Philouze styles the duo with images by Patrick Demarchelier.
Sharing the joint cover in which the two wear contrasting black and white feathers and turban headpieces, Vogue Arabia wrote on Instagram: “Two generations of icons unite for the anniversary issue of Vogue Arabia, with not one, but three covers.” It is the first birthday for this international brand of Vogue. They go on to explain, “With life stories deeply rooted in the Arab world, @imaanhammam and @the_real_iman are the perfect cover stars for the bumper March issue.”
In what is becoming a fashion industry #MeToo moment, The Boston Globe released their investigation of sexual assault and misconduct accusations against at least 25 photographers, agents, stylists, and casting directors including Patrick Demarchelier, David Bellemere, Greg Kadel, Seth Sabal, Karl Templer and more.
Models offering testimony include Abbey Lee, RJ King, Myla Dalbesio, Chloe Hayward and more prominent names in the industry.
One of the industry's most prominent voices Coco Rocha told the Globe's Spotlight team that when she refused to get naked on the set at age 16, the photographer replaced her with a girl younger and more obedient. Months later, another famous photographer simulated an orgasm as he took her picture.
On her first test shoot at age 15, Dasha Alexander said the photographer held the camera in one hand and digitally penetrated her with his other. The move would make the pictures more "raw" and "sensual". I find this move laughable because a woman's sensuality is much more innate. If anything, the photographer would inspire raw fear -- unless the model was in full agreement with the gesture. If the photographer didn't ask her in advance about this digital penetration, he is guilty of sexual assault.

Patrick Demarchelier Eyes Ashley Graham & Co For W Magazine January 2018
Anyone who insists that the faces of fashion remain cookie-cutter models is dead wrong. In fact, we should acknowledge that the industry is changing and not focus on grievance after grievance w/o agreeing that change is in the air.

Ironically, Campbell is styled as a possible muse from an ancient Greek temple like the famous one at Delphi. Occupation of the site at Delphi can be traced to the Neolithic period with extensive use beginning in the Mycenaean period (1600-1100 BC), a time we associate with the fall of the goddesses in cultural worship and the rise of patriarchy, which established deep roots in ancient Greece. The name 'Delphoi' comes from the same root as δελφύς delphys, "womb" and may indicate archaic veneration of Gaia at the site, writes Wiki. An oracle was a priest or priestess -- originally we believe it was primarily women as priestesses -- acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical antiquity.
Enough with ancient history of the goddesses. Edie Campbell became a fashion industry muse and oracle this week, writing an open letter published by Women's Wear Daily, in which she highlights the abuse of all models, including men. In a maverick twist, Campbell suggests that in the fashion industry, the abuse of male models is every bit as serious as among the women.
“We have a problem: we operate within a culture that is too accepting of abuse, in all of its manifestations. This can be the ritual humiliation of models, belittling of assistants, power plays and screaming fits. We have come to see this as simply a part of the job.”
Campbell’s letter is in response to the Instagram campaign to raise awareness of sexual exploitation of models started in October by the US model Cameron Russell.
Here is Edie Campbell's letter in full:
Sasha Pivovarova Poses With Her Artistry In Patrick Demarchelier Images For Interview October 2017
Top model Sasha Pivovarova is a gifted artist, using any materials that leave marks like tea, red wine, and lipstick. The super creative is also working on specially commissioned art books for Prada and Karl Lagerfeld. Brooklyn-based Pivovarova reads the greats of Russian literature and cultural theory in her spare time -- from Milan Kundera to Theodor Adorno, writes the October 2017 issue of Interview. In Feb. 2017, W Magazine dug very deeply into Sasha's artistic inspirations.
Sasha Pivovarova appears this fall alongside Justin Timberlake in 'In Time', "a movie about a future world where people stop aging at 25 and where, if you have the means, it’s possible to buy eternal youth. Here’s the catch: Pivovarova plays Clara, Justin Timberlake’s grandmother, even though she doesn’t look like she’s cracked her 30s, a plot device that raises the level of irony in the film."
Patrick Demarchelier flashes Sasha in Interview, wearing fall looks from Prada, Balmain and Balenciaga styled by Ludivine Poiblanc.

Finally A Few Words From Nancy Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi’s Battle Plan: Jobs, Exposing Tea Party Extremists to Voters The Daily Beast
“I haven’t seen a poll yet that says, ‘Don’t tax the rich, we don’t want jobs, we just want to deal with this debt first, second, last, and always.’”
As Democrats move to portray Republicans as reckless extremists bent on destroying government, she articulates the problem this way:
