“I love a cape I just do, for every occasion,” says Anya Taylor-Joy. “I don’t think it’s only a special occasion thing. If I could wear a cape every day I would.” Which is lucky, because Jonathan Anderson caped her up to sit on the front row of hisdebut Dior womenswear show at Paris Fashion Week.
Fashion photographer David Sims is born in Yorkshire, England in 1966. He leaves secondary school when he is 17 and soon starts assisting photographers Robert Erdmann and Norman Watson. At 19 he steps out on his own and gets his work published in i-D. He also starts collaborating with make-up artist Dick Page and hairstylist Guido Palau. He becomes one of the ‘new photographers’, who are partially responsible for the changes in fashion photography in the 90ties.
Raf Simons was born on 12 January 1968 in Neerpelt, Belgium, to an army night watchman (Jacques Simons) and a house cleaner (Alda Beckers).
Raf graduated in Industrial Design and Furniture Design from a college in Genk in 1991. He began working as a furniture designer for various galleries, having previously interned at the design studio of fashion designer Walter Van Beirendock (who was part of the original wave of Belgium designers, theAntwerp Six) between 1991-1993, working on the interior design of the showroom.
Matthieu Blazy’s Winter 2024 collection for Bottega Veneta embodies a mood that is both reflective and resilient, drawing on the stark beauty of desolate landscapes. The campaign, set against the rugged terrains of Utah and Nevada near the enigmatic Area 51, evokes a sense of survival and rebirth in these harsh environments.Captured through the lens of Alec Soth, renowned for his poignant explorations of American life, the imagery emphasizes the vastness and solitude of the desert. Models are placed against backdrops of towering rock formations, endless roads, and distant mountain ranges, highlighting the raw and sculptural elements of nature. The resilient vegetation and skeletal branches that punctuate the barren landscape echo the themes of endurance that Blazy has woven into this collection.

Inez & Vinoodh direct fashion model Rianne Van Rompaey in the campaign for the CHANEL Fall-Winter 2022/23 Ready-to-Wear collection by Virginie Viard. “We set out to bring the countryside, the Scottish landscape around the River Tweed, into city life,” explains the photography duo, guided by the contrast between “Gabrielle Chanel’s trips to the River Tweed area finding inspiration for her tweeds in nature, and living her life in Paris dressing women with tremendous freedom of movement and ease.”
