My body, my alternative: Gucci will help its US

My body, my alternative: Gucci will help its US
In 2019, Alessandro Michele showed a 97-piece Cruise collection at Gucci, stamping “my body, my alternative” onto the backs of blazers, while adorning Grecian-style dresses with sequined ovaries, and emblazoning capes with “22/05/1978”, the date Italy officially decriminalised abortion. A mere stone’s throw from the Vatican, the placard-pieces were sent out amid a growing battle over abortion rights within the US, following the news that Alabama had overturned Roe v Wade – the 1973 case that legalised abortion.  That ruling proved to be a precursor to way more daunting fears surrounding reproductive rights, though, with leaked documents now claiming to evidence the US Supreme Court’s plans to vote in favour of overturning access to abortion this June – a choice that...

Cover locked in, they graciously allow me into their Beverly Hills home for a joint interview. Standing on their doorstep, I...

Celia Rose Gooding Shaved Her Head And Found A
Celia Rose Gooding didn’t at all times know that she desired to follow in her mother’s footsteps and change into an actress. But in 2006, when she watched her mother, Broadway actress LaChanze, win a Tony for her portrayal of Celie within the 2005 theater production of The Color Purple, she knew she desired to do something that provided the identical joy she saw on her mother’s face the night she accepted her award.  Gooding was six years old when she witnessed that moment. By the point she was 17, she was forged within the reading for what would change into the Broadway musical Jagged Little Pill, written by Diablo Cody and based on the music of Alanis Morissette. When the...
