Doutzen Kroes for Vogue Netherlands September 2024 by Lachlan Bailey

After a hiatus from modeling, Doutzen Kroes makes a welcomed comeback to her native Vogue Netherlands for their September issue, sharing a more tender and introspective side of her. The homebody and a model with a green thumb reflect on the highs and lows and matters of the heart since a controversial social media post made years ago. Doutzen describes that time as a late puberty phase where she was reacting to the feelings of being censored earlier in her career and told not to espouse certain opinions to not offend future clients.

Doutzen talks about her long-time friend and agent Mo Karadag and the two’s stubbornness to not give up on each other in that tumultuous time. Doutzen also discusses her upbringing in a Calvinist, idealistic family, the healing of her relationships, and her beautiful tribute to her late father.

I have immense respect and appreciation for Doutzen Kroes. Who she is as a person, and her character always stands out the most. I’m so happy she made her return to Vogue Netherlands. Thanks for being who you are Doutzen. You truly are a “model” soul.

“If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Happy Birthday Fran Summers

Photo by Arthur Elgort

The first time I saw Fran Summers, she reminded me so much of Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton and her Richmond, North Yorkshire accent wasn’t like anything I’ve heard before. She quickly become one of my favorite models and her runway, campaign, and editorial work always stood out among the very best in fashion. She has all the elegance and grace of classic English movies, the humor and wit of Monty Python and all the coolness of English bands like the Clash and Joy Division. Fran is a tremendous person and her heart and humor is its own iridescent. Wishing you the happiest of Birthdays and love. Thanks for being who you are.

Carry on inside of your heart
Under the brine you won’t notice the dark
Can stone and steel and horses heels ever explain the way you feel
From Scapa Flow to Rotherhithe, I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality

So irrigate your heart until you know you’re complete
And you’re draped in kelp, below by 8,000 feet
My soul she cried I thought you’d died amid fumes of formaldehyde
You have been gone for so long I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality

–Sea Power, Carrion
