CR Fashion Book’s Mother Nature-themed issue has landed
Karlie! Lisa Rinna! Sza! Emma Chamberlain! Always on-the-money CR Fashion Book has released its 22nd issue, Spring ’23, and between the casting, styling, and photography, you can be sure all the fashion students will be hotfooting it to Casa Magazines as soon as it hits newsstands on April 13 to rip it apart for moodboaring purposes. All together, editor in chief Carine Roitfeld tapped eight of-the-moment cover stars, also tapping the likes of Peter Pan & Wendy star Ever Anderson and runway regular Abby Champion. And as for the latest CR Men, British actor Harris Dickinson was given cover star honor. The issue itself delves into environmentally-conscious themes and nature, like Karlie Kloss’ homage to passionate activist and fashion designer, Dame Vivienne Westwood, styled by Roitfeld herself and photographed by Emma Summerton. “It’s time to think about our legacy, not only as what we will be remembered for, but how future generations can benefit from it,” Roitfeld said in a release. “I hope this issue serves as a reminder that nature is not forever if we don’t all take action now.” See the covers above and below:
ELLE’s first-ever Impact Issue is here
For its next edition, the inaugural Impact Issue, ELLE gathered its class of 2023 changemakers. The lineup includes Keke Palmer, Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, climate activist Xiye Bastida, designer Elena Velez, athlete Allyson Felix, Emily Ratajkowski, and more. The diverse, inspiring group also features First Daughter Ashley Biden, who was photographed for the magazine by Celeste Sloman. The social worker, activist, and philanthropist speaks candidly to Kayla Webley Adler about a range of topics, from dealing with criticism of her family and navigating being in the public eye. Biden also told the mag about how EMDR therapy helped her following her late brother Beau’s battle with brain cancer, and why it’s ignited a desire in her to open a wellness space for women impacted by trauma in partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia. “EMDR did wonders for me when it came to my brother’s death,” she said. “I was able to get great treatment, and so I’ve been able to take some of those things that I’ve learned in therapy and use them as well…If you have money and something happens, you can go to the best therapist you can find. That doesn’t happen for people who are living in poverty.”
