An-My Lê: Untitled, Nam Ha, 1994, from “Viêt Nam” 

“Whenever I had very difficult decisions to make, I would just suffer and torture myself trying to think through all the possible outcomes. And obviously, you never get to the end of it because you just can’t know. So I would tell my younger self, ‘It’s okay to use your brain and try to think through things, but then just dive in and things will work out.’” –An-My Lê to Monique Truong and Ocean Vuong at The Brooklyn Rail

"Ela tinha apenas 24 anos, mas tinha ficado viúva duas vezes. Ambos os seus maridos eram soldados. Eu via-a como a personificação da mulher guerrilheira ideal, que havia feito grandes sacrifícios pelo seu país".

FASHION CREDITS: LADY GAGA BY ETHAN JAMES GREEN FOR VOGUE US OCTOBER ISSUE

I was highly expecting for Lady Gaga to land a Vogue cover and here we are, covering the October issue of the American Vogue. The photoshoot, which is highly inspired by her role as Harley Quinn in "Joker: Folie à Deux", was lensed by Ethan James Green.

Styling: Alex Harrington, makeup: Sarah Tanno-Stewart, hair: Frederic Aspiras, nails: Kim Truong using Glitterbels, tailors: Hailey Desjardins and Egle Paulauskaite, set design: Marla Weinhoff.

Photographed during her stay in Paris in July this year, the cover photo showcases Gaga in the blue embroidered trompe-l’œil synthetic hair coat made in collaboration with hairstylist Gary Gill from Balenciaga‘s 53rd Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture collection!

An iconic silhouette by now, Gaga rocks a pair of her favorite Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2016 Kiki buckled black leather platform boots!

The mixture of couture, high-end designers and emerging talent is immense in this editorial as Gaga wears the grunge-inspired Hodakova Fall/Winter 2024 argyle double knit sweater in this hauntingly beautiful shot. The sweater is an old Wolsey piece which was upcycled.

Hyperventilating is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I fell in love the moment John Galliano sent out his girls down the dramatic runway and ever since I was hoping to catch Gaga in one of the designs. Never would‘ve thought she‘d even get a whole custom look!

Gaga poses in custom Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2024 Artisanal Haute Couture.

White cotton caisetted cape cut with the memory of an ulster coat, worn over a patinaed knitted silk bodysuit matching Gaga’s skin tone underpinned by a corset covered in jersey and a silicone hip prothèse.

A taped reverse swatching hat in white foam and caisetted cotton, patinaed knitted silk stockings and gloves, and custom Christian Louboutin for Margiela white patent leather criss-cross platform pumps with torn stocking overlay.

One thing you should know about Gaga is that she loves to layer multiple runway pieces to merge a whole new look.

From Dior‘s Resort 2025 collection, a love letter to Scotland, she wore a knitted argyle sweater with cut-outs, a tartan wool maxi dress which she layered underneath a mesh and metallic lace dress, and some argyle socks.

The Hodakova sweater makes a return, this time accessorized with an antique hand-painted plaque, ruby and diamond in 18kt gold brooch, and a smoky quartz and pearl in 18k gold brooch, both from Tony Duquette!

A shoe that changed herstory. Vivienne Westwood‘s infamous Fall/Winter 1993 Super Elevated Gillie platform shoes make a return, acquired from Pechuga Vintage. You might remember Gaga wearing a boot version of these for her 2010 Elle spread!

A firework of excitement ransacked my body when I first found out that Alessandro Michele would depart from Gucci to head over to Valentino as the new creative director.

LG is, to my knowledge, the first celebrity to rock a piece from the Resort 2025 "Avant Les Debuts" (Before the Beginning) collection – a pale-yellow chiffon mini dress with high collar, tiered ruffle puff sleeves and floral micro-element embroidery all over!

Paired with custom Maison Margiela distressed stockings and custom Christian Louboutin platform heels.

Gaga is working it in a bi-colored statuesque coat seen on Yohji Yamamoto‘s Fall/Winter 2024 "A Seamless Parable on Cubism" runway.

Rather than canvas and paint, Yamamoto’s medium is fabric and more than ever, it felt like he let his instinctual side take the wheel. Case in point: He said he couldn’t talk about how he’d arrived at these silhouettes. "During fittings, I can change, I can touch", he said with finality.

The look was crowned with a custom Vivienne Bow hat made of voluminous moiré fabric by emerging designer Andrew James!

One of the "Antwerp Six" designers, Dries Van Noten bid farewell earlier this Summer and decided to leave the fashion scene with a bang by celebrating his legacy at his final Spring/Summer 2025 collection where this epic embroidered cashmere coat is from.

Both her Tah ornamental black double-faced wooly cashmere hat with engraved metal accents ($2,700)...

...and Duras double-breasted boxy oversized coat rendered in bonded viscose with peaked lapel ($6,750) are from The Row's Resort 2025 lookbook.

Gaga is the first ever person to wear this vintage Givenchy by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 1999 "Execution of Lady Jane Grey" Haute Couture chinoiserie embroidered silk balloon sleeve coat and bespoke black dress, both sourced from LILY et Cie.

In 1999, McQueen was going through, in his own words, "an emotional turmoil" both professionally and personally. But instead of relieving himself, he ventured into his own despair to understand his inner demons more poignantly. This painful journey led Lee to Paul Delaroche’s tragic but beautiful 1833 painting, "The Execution of Lady Jane Grey".

Like a painter to a blank canvas, McQueen filled an empty room with extravagant offerings: romantic silk ensembles with floral embroidery, 16th-century fur-trimmed tunics, luxurious velvet coats, as well as the designer’s signature leather suits, cowl-neck dresses, and even a heightened-for-couture bouffant piece that paid homage to his plaid.

Dialing in on his inspiration, McQueen presented his clothes not on models but on fiber-glass-headed mannequins that emerged from trap doors in batches, as if the audience were in an art gallery rather than a fashion show.

It's almost unrecognizable but Gaga is draping this Chanel Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture black silk taffeta opera coat around her torso. This piece, which served as the show's opening number, features a ruffled neck, bejeweled buttons and a voluminous cut.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A bridge collapsed and a bus was swept away by flooding in Vietnam on Monday, raising the death toll in the Southeast Asian country to at least 64 from a typhoon and subsequent heavy rains that also damaged factories in export-focused northern industrial hubs, state media reported.

Nine people died on Saturday after Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam before weakening into a tropical depression. The rest died in the floods and landslides that followed on Sunday and Monday, state media VN Express reported.

The water levels of several rivers in northern Vietnam were dangerously high.

A bus carrying 20 people was swept into a flooded stream by a landslide in mountainous Cao Bang province on Monday morning. State media said four bodies were recovered from the bus and one person was rescued alive. The others were still missing.

In Phu Tho province, rescue operations were continuing after a steel bridge over the engorged Red River collapsed Monday morning. Reports said 10 cars and trucks along with two motorbikes fell into the river. Some people were pulled out of the river and taken to a hospital, but at least 10 people were still missing.

Nguyen Minh Hai, who fell into the flooded river, told state Vietnam Television, “I was so scared when I fell down. I felt like I’ve just escaped death. I can’t swim and I thought I would die.”

Pham Truong Son, 50, told VN Express that he was driving on the bridge on his motorcycle when he heard a loud noise. Before he knew what was happening, he was falling into the river. “I felt like I was drowning at the bottom of the river,” Son told the news outlet, adding that he managed to swim and hold on to a drifting banana tree to stay afloat before he was rescued.

Dozens of businesses in Haiphong province haven’t resumed production because of extensive damage to their factories, state newspaper Lao Dong reported. It said the roofs of several factories were blown apart and water seeped inside, damaging finished goods and expensive equipment. Some companies said they still didn’t have electricity on Monday and that it would take at least a month to resume production.

Parts of Haiphong and Quang Ninh provinces were still without power on Monday. The two provinces are industrial hubs, housing many factories that export goods, including EV maker VinFast and Apple suppliers Pegatrong and USI. Authorities are still assessing the damage to factories, but initial estimates showed that nearly 100 enterprises were damaged, resulting in millions of dollars in losses, the newspaper reported.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited Haiphong city on Sunday and approved a $4.62 million package to help the port city recover.

Typhoon Yagi was the strongest typhoon to hit Vietnam in decades when it made landfall Saturday with winds up to 149 kph (92 mph). It weakened Sunday, but the country’s meteorological agency warned that continuing downpours could cause floods and landslides.

On Sunday, a landslide killed six people including an infant and injured nine others in Sapa town, a popular trekking base known for its terraced rice fields and mountains. Overall, state media reported 21 deaths and at least 299 people injured from the weekend.

Skies were overcast in the capital, Hanoi, with occasional rain Monday morning as workers cleared uprooted trees, fallen billboards and toppled electricity poles. Heavy rain continued in northwestern Vietnam and forecasters said it could exceed 40 centimeters (15 inches) in places.

Southbound – the southernmost record of Tylototriton (Amphibia, Caudata, Salamandridae) from the Central Highlands of Vietnam represents a new species

Abstract

A new species of the genus Tylototriton is described from Ngoc Linh Mountain, Kon Tum Province, in the Central Highlands of Vietnam based on integrative taxonomy, namely by combining molecular and morphological evidence.  Tylototriton ngoclinhensis sp. nov. differs from all other congeners based on morphological data, allopatric distribution, and molecular divergence. Tylototriton ngoclinhensis sp. nov. is restricted to evergreen montane forests near water bodies on Ngoc Linh Mountain. We suggest that the new species should be classified as Endangered (EN) in the IUCN Red List. This new important discovery represents the eighth Tylototriton taxon described from Vietnam, and at the same time constitutes the southernmost distributional record for the whole genus in Asia.

Le jour du froment - L'avant Kaamelott d'Alexandre Astier

Pour les plus grands fans d'Alexandre Astier d'entre vous (votre shérif en fait bien évidement parti), peut-être êtes-vous passés à côté d'une pépite rare, la dernière pièce de théâtre du bonhomme avant qu'il ne se lance dans l'épopée Kaamelott. Intitulée "Le jour du froment", elle rassemble une brochette de talentueux acteurs qui ont également joué des seconds rôles dans la série à succès. Thibault Roux, Aurélien Portehaut, Lan Truong et Loic Varraut font partie de cette distribution de choix.

Les lyonnais ont eu la chance de savourer cette pièce durant l'hiver 2002, mais elle a ensuite sombré dans l'oubli, comme nombre des travaux pré-Kaamelott d'Astier. Cependant, quelques fans attentifs ont eu le privilège de la voir diffusée sur France 4 lors des premiers mois de la série. Votre loyal shérif a mis la main dessus et c'est avec plaisir que je vous propose de la (re)découvrir.

Je vous laisse pour finir avec le pitch officiel de la pièce:

Un attentat au gaz s'est déroulé dans le métro et le commissariat le plus proche est débordé: le capitaine, dépressif, anorexique et mal secondé, ne parvient pas à faire face à l'afflux de plaignants... Il faut dire qu'il est très mal entouré, entre sa femme retrouvée après dix mois de divorce, son abruti de lieutenant, son commissaire gueulard et vieillissant, un proxénète trafiquant et un jeune stagiaire plus doué pour les crêpes que pour les enquêtes de police.

© UNICEF/Truong Viet Hung / Una estudiante vietnamita muestra una planta germinada La ciudad amazónica de Belém, en Brasil, será el centro de atención mundial de los esfuerzos para abordar la crisis climática este 2025, cuando albergará una de las conferencias climáticas más importantes de la ONU en los últimos años. El evento tendrá lugar en noviembre de 2025, pero desde antes habrá muchas oportunidades para avances importantes en varias cuestiones relacionadas con el clima, desde los asombrosos niveles de contaminación por plástico hasta el financiamiento de la transición hacia una economía global más limpia. 1. ¿Podemos mantener vivo el objetivo de 1,5? “Mantener vivo el objetivo de 1,5º” ha sido el lema de la ONU durante varios años, una referencia al objetivo de garantizar que las temperaturas globales promedio no superen en más de 1,5 grados Celsius los niveles preindustriales para fin de siglo. El consenso científico es que la falta de acción tendría consecuencias catastróficas, sobre todo para los llamados “Estados de primera línea”, como las naciones insulares en desarrollo que podrían desaparecer bajo el agua a medida que suba el nivel del mar. © UNICEF/Lasse Bak Mejlvang Un hombre pesca sentado sobre sacos de arena que protegen a Tuvalu, una nación insular del Océano Pacífico, contra la erosión marina. En la COP30, la conferencia climática de la ONU programada para realizarse entre el 10 y el 21 de noviembre de 2025, la mitigación (en otras palabras, las acciones y políticas diseñadas para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero que contribuyen al aumento de las temperaturas) será un tema clave. Las naciones del mundo llegarán con compromisos mejorados y más ambiciosos para reducir los gases de efecto invernadero. Esto es tanto un reconocimiento de que las promesas existentes son totalmente inadecuadas, en términos de reducir las temperaturas, como el cumplimiento de parte del acuerdo que los Estados miembros firmaron en 2015 en la COP de París (se espera que las naciones “aumenten” sus compromisos cada cinco años. La última vez que esto sucedió fue en la COP de Glasgow de 2021, retrasada un año debido a la pandemia de COVID-19). 2. Proteger la naturaleza La celebración de la COP30 en la región de la selva amazónica de Brasil tiene una importancia simbólica. El evento evoca los primeros días de los intentos internacionales de proteger el medio ambiente: la crucial “Cumbre de la Tierra”, que condujo al establecimiento de tres tratados ambientales sobre cambio climático, biodiversidad y desertificación, tuvo lugar en la ciudad brasileña de Río de Janeiro en 1992. © Unsplash/Sreenivas Un loro posado en la rama de un árbol en Maharashtra, India. El lugar también pone de relieve el papel que tiene que desempeñar la naturaleza en la crisis climática. La selva tropical es un enorme “sumidero de carbono”, un sistema que absorbe y almacena CO2, un gas de efecto invernadero, y evita que entre en la atmósfera, donde contribuye al calentamiento. Lamentablemente, las selvas tropicales y otras “soluciones basadas en la naturaleza” enfrentan amenazas del desarrollo humano, como la tala ilegal que ha devastado enormes franjas de la región. La ONU continuará los esfuerzos iniciados en 2024 para mejorar la protección de la selva tropical y otros ecosistemas, en las conversaciones sobre biodiversidad que se reanudarán en Roma en febrero. 3. ¿Quién va a pagar todo esto? El financiamiento ha sido durante mucho tiempo un tema espinoso en las negociaciones internacionales sobre el clima. Los países en desarrollo sostienen que las naciones ricas deberían contribuir mucho más a proyectos e iniciativas que les permitan alejarse de los combustibles fósiles y alimentar sus economías con fuentes de energía limpia. La resistencia de los países ricos es que las economías de rápido crecimiento como China, que ahora es el mayor emisor de gases de efecto invernadero del mundo, también deberían pagar su parte...
