Happy Birthday Karmen Pedaru

There probably isn’t a more amazing model, person, and face of her own brand the likes of Karmen Pedaru. You’re every thing that’s cool about fashion and being a creative. You’re profoundly inspiring, and if a model could capture the magical era of the 90s and a band like Nirvana, it would be no one other than Karmen Pedaru. I hope your birthday is phenomenal and wishing all the love and success in the world. You are the things of dreams and stars.

I’m thinking of your wide open eyes
Smiling as they feed the nerves
That push the field of silver and the colorful lines
That only you could see like only you could do

I’m picturing a forcep in ice
That you would see if you could reach
And reconnect the engine to the delicate lens
But I just sit and wait for a blip to break the perfect little thin green line

“I’m thinking of your failing green eyes
Smiling as they greet the day”

And the coil sleeps
And you’ve been gathering angels
And fading further each day
I love you now as I never
Remember my face as it quietly makes your way

I dreamt of jet-less high
Seeing clouds from the other side
And rolling softly until the underbelly shines
And the back skims through the steam
Feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling away
A dusty sleep you took too soon
And you, you need watering if you are to bloom

Hum – If You Are To Bloom

Happy Birthday Raquel Zimmermann

You’re nothing short of a creative tour de force, convivial than most with a Iggy Pop, proto-punk level of cool. You’re a one of a kind soul and you’ve given the fashion so much. The world is truly fortunate to have a Raquel Zimmermann and all of you’re brilliance. Wishing you the most wonderful of birthdays and bountiful happiness. You are the epitome of living art.

Linda Evangelista for Harper’s Bazaar US May 2025 by Anthony Seklaoui


Harper’s Bazaar welcomes its Beauty Issue for the month of May, where journalist Linda Wells and cover star Linda Evangelista discuss life, learning to love your flaws and imperfections, and grappling with the ever-changing landscape of beauty. Through all the travails, anguish, and scars, the gallant super in her life of storied achievements, resolve is stronger than ever to seize life and live it fearlessly on her terms as she navigates a culture preoccupied with notions like aging and beauty:

“I really thing beauty is something you earn. I think of my grandmothers’ faces and what the war did to them, the toll it took on them… just wearing their hardships. They wore it, and they were so gorgeous. It had nothing to do with perfection or youth.”
