ALO 'The Bag Collection' 2025 : Candice Swanepoel, Amelia Gray & Daiane Sodre by Steven Meisel

I don't care if it's Shein or Temu, Meisel shines most of the times. Fan of Candice, the new girl to me reminds me of a bit to Adriana, and I'm surprised for Amelia scoring another Meisel job. She's in the race to become the next Bella Hadid.

Lol she could only wish.

Bella in terms she's not a natural beauty (just saying the truth, not to be an 🍑), but working with Meisel. And her mother is from that reality show. She wish? She's doing the same. I can't talk about skills, they are from different times.

I just had a stroke reading that lol.

Hate to admit it, but they're actually succeeding in the process. Everyone seems to be talking about Alo now.
This campaign is probably one of the most exciting campaign visuals we'll be seeing in magazines.

I saw Candace's ad in print a couple of days ago, in the new issue of W, and it absolutely did stand out from the pack.

Valentino, whose name has been established and respected in the luxury world for more than 50 years, is struggling to sell a decently designed bag for 3k and these folks, who managed to turn this one hit wonder brand into a fashionista kiddos scam powerhouse thanks to collabs with basically every female influencer on the planet, think they can make a profit by releasing products in the luxury segment...

No thanks to the bag, but I love like the images and am kind of obsessed that ALO took it there with Meisel. It somehow feels on brand - feels in the same universe as that Vogue Italia editorial with Adriana Lima, by Steven, back in 2014.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

This reminds me of Meisel's Mercury Rising story from US Vogue May 1999, and I'm here for it. All the girls look amazing - love the posing and the beauty styling.

I WISH we got some of those mega-watt smiles that really just shone through the images and took it into a fun summery feeling.
That being said I don’t hate this at all. Amelia is the weakest link here. It is the best she’s ever looked, but for someone that looks like an imposter to her own face I find that more evident here. Again, she looks great BUT she’s just an odd model facially that it is hard to really take her seriously.
