1917 01 04 Von Richthofen's 16th victory - Thomas La Padula

Richthofen's 16th Victory.

The First Canadian pilot to fall under the guns of the Red Baron was Flight Lieutenant Allan Switzer Todd. As part of the Royal Naval Air Services, 8th Squadron, Todd was flying a Sopwith Pup, No. 5193 on January 4, 1917. Todd and his Squadron were sent to the Somme Front to counter the aggressive activity of the German Albatros aircraft. The British pilots attacked aggressively when Richthofen’s Jasta arrived on the scene. So much so that Todd \pilot \out the Red Baron and began his attack. Unfortunately, as Richthofen puts it,” the enemy plane was superior to ours. Only because we were three against one, we detected the enemy’s week points. I managed to get behind him and shoot him down.”

Todd’s plane fell apart while falling through the sky, landing in the vicinity of Metz-en-Couture. Cause of death was either from gunshot wounds or crash trauma. Some valuables of Todd were collected by the Germans and returned. Over time his gravesite became lost due to the turmoil of war. Todd’s name is on the Arras Memorial to the Missing.

Two days after shooting down Todd, Richthofen received a telegram from the Kaiser. It read simply: ‘His Majesty, the Kaiser, has awarded the Orden Pur le Merite to Leutnant von Richthofen’. The Orden Pur le Merite could be awarded to any military officer regardless of his branch of service, however its most famous recipients were German Pilots during the Great War. The medal was to be worn whenever the recipient was in uniform. Informally known as the Blue Max, it was supposedly given that name in honor of the German ace Max Immelman, who awarded the medal on the same day in 1916 as Otto Boelcke, Richthofen’s mentor. Originally given for 8 Aerial Victories the number was later raised to 16 in early 2017.It was awarded to Richthofen on January 12, 1917. It was Prussia’s highest Military award, and it was awarded to MvR for the successful confirmation of shooting down 16 enemy planes.

The Couture Bridal Fantasy

On her wedding day, it is every bride's dream to feel the most beautiful that she has ever felt in her lifetime. And sometimes, to feel like your most beautiful self, one has to step outside of the conventional and into the fantastical. Dropped waists and "angelic silhouettes" were identified by Brides magazine as trends spotted during the New York Bridal Fashion week this year, harkening back to the ideas of the historical and the fantastic. Three couture bridal companies: Cinq, Danielle Frankel, and Nicole + Felicia, are exploring the collaboration of the historical and the fantastic with their breathtaking and groundbreaking Spring 2025 Bridal Collections, displayed earlier this month at New York Bridal Fashion Week.

The first image is from Nicole + Felicia's Spring 2025 collection, which has the overarching theme "Wonderland" to encompass the wonder and magic of a bride's wedding day, while also making a callback to the "Alice in Wonderland" book series, about a young girl who enters a world of absurd fantasy. Nicole + Felecia, a sister-owned brand, is most well-known for making couture gowns for celebrities, including ballgowns for Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour and red carpet looks for Jennifer Lopez and Janelle Monáe, though they have been designing bridal collections since 2018. This look, labeled simply as "Look 4" features a dramatic ballgown silhouette and detachable leg-of-mutton sleeves. These details invoke the past while also creating a sense of modernity alongside the fantastical with the ultra-deep v neckline, creating balance and yes, wonder.

Danielle Frankel's bridal wear has exploded in popularity since opening launching her brand in 2017, being worn by celebrities such as Julia Garner, Alexandria Daddario and AnnaSophia Robb. According to a Vouge Australia article from October 2022, the brand has become the "go-to for cool girl brides" and the "Cora" look pictured above exudes the "cool girl" aesthetic, with a "draped soft tulle bodice with swagged sleeve and hand painted floral illusion tulle overlay" the modern and the fantastical are balanced here in an unexpected and exciting way, a treat for the bride who wants to indulge in the fantastical and unconventional. There is something Grecian about many of Frankel's looks, and the "Cora" is no exception, with the column-esque silhouette and intentional draping reflecting a respect for fashion history while also playing around with modern elements. The exposed midriff and pants that this look comes with push the boundaries of what bridal wear can be.

Cinq's fourth collection (stylized as IV) had a truly breathtaking presentation at New York Bridal Fashion Week, inviting guests into an intimate dinner party setting for their fashion show, and allowing them to indulge in the fantasy of their new collection. From the home page of their website, the brand identifies their philosophy: "For centuries human beings have taken part in rituals, marriage being one of the most sacred and coveted. Cinq was created for the bride that connects on an emotional level to her gown, it’s not just the dress .. it’s a precious, fleeting moment in time.. it’s the feeling when she’s wearing it.. it’s the moment of reflection. The Cinq bride emanates a unique progressive nostalgia combining vintage silhouettes with modern details. Dressed in a garment that stands as an ode to the past poised for the future - detailed to cast a moment into memory, for her."

Overall, it's clear from these stunning looks that the modern couture bride wants to indulge in her fantasies when shopping for her dress. However, be warned, these looks will cost the bride (or whoever is paying for the dress) a pretty penny. "Cora" retails for just under 6 thousand (one of the less pricey Danielle Frankel gowns), with Nicole + Felicia and Cinq gowns coming in at around similar price points. However, these are prices that many brides are willing to pay in order to get to live out their own personal fantasies on the day of their wedding, a day that is often regarded in our collective mindset as a day that should be full of magic, romance, and whimsy, all of which can be elevated by the "perfect" dress choice.

The sewing machine as a lifeline

By Maya Freitas

(Copyrights: photo by Patrick Fouque)

Sami Nouri is humble, determined, and successful. From Afghanistan to the Fashion Week, this 26-year-old refugee is now nicknamed "the little prince of fashion".

Abandoned at the age of 14 by a smuggler in the city of Tours, the young Sami Nouri has lived from home to home, from family to family but does not keep bad memories of his childhood. On the contrary, the latter will be forever grateful for the benevolent help he has always received.

A course with spectacular looks A spectacular course

Trained at the school of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne (ECSCP), the young Franco-Afghan is quickly propelled to recognized couturiers. It was at the British stylist John Galiano that Sami Nouri began the creative stage; a universe that would allow him to be subsequently spotted by the unmissable Jean Paul Gaultier. The young designer often talks about Jean Paul Gaultier's confidence in him. The young designer often talks about the trust/confidence Jean Paul Gaultier had in him.

Learning the language and alphabet is essential to obtaining a diploma, Sami Nouri is aware. Sami Nouri is aware that learning the language and the alphabet is essential to obtain a diploma. When he arrived in France, he knew nothing except sewing, passed down from his father. But his dream of being able to go to school makes him a student, certainly struggling with history and general culture, but with the sole objective: to obtain his professional certificate diploma. "If I fail my exam, I will retake it as many times as I need to get it, as many times as it takes to pass. In Europe, diplomas count almost more than know-how. »

A brand, an illustration of its values and history

Sami Nouri will never forget how much fashion has been of great help in his many struggles. For this purpose, he has only one idea in mind: to make women masters of their dignity. What he wants above all is to enter in symbiosis with them and no longer make women an object enslaved to the desires of men, marketing, photographers ...

Thanks to his perfect mastery and his desire to work, Sami Nouri knew how to be surrounded by the right people such as political figures such as Jean-Pierre Raffarin, or Chadi Sleiman, a great figure of the Parisian bar. A much-needed entourage that allowed him the birth of Sami Nouri Paris in 2017, his own label. The signature of the little prince of fashion stands out thanks to a discreet fragment of barbed wire present in his creations, recalling his passion for freedom. This freedom he found in France, his country of integration to which he wants to pay tribute by creating only made in France products. Sami Nouri Paris respects a condition that its creator will never transgress: a luxury of quality, a quality luxury, accessible to a wide audience because he knows how little rare money can be.

A momentum that is not about to stop

« Patience is a tree whose root is bitter and whose fruits are very sweet. ». Sami Nouri has long been inspired by this Persian proverb since he was born on March 31, 1996, in Afghanistan. Among the many dangers he went through as a child, the young prodigy aims to take his vision and creations beyond borders. As the latter puts it, (which is the perfect illustration): "it is not because we do not have money that we can not succeed in life! ".

The thirst for work that the young creator shelters allows him to be a jack of all trades The young creator's thirst for work allows him to be a jack of all trades. The examples are numerous: his book published by Robert Laffont entitled La machine à coudre retracing his history, the planned release in 2023 or 2024 of the film of his life whose script is co-written (Franco-American production) or his contribution during the exhibition on François Boucher (painter of Louis XV and favorite of Madame de Pompadour) at the Museum of Fine Arts in Tours, scheduled for early November.

Sami Nouri knows that he will not succeed in changing a country such as Afghanistan, but he intends to put women at the heart of his messages and to restore her greatness and freedom.

What is more to come from high fashion brands?

We are totally seeing clothing become inclusive for men and women. We love to see urban clothing worn as unisex. Here we have a Instagram post of Jeremy Scott, creative designer of Moschino wearing his two-piece set collab with skate-wear brand PALACE. (Photo on the left)

Adut Akech : étoile montante du mannequinat

Du haut de son mètre soixante-dix-huit, voilà plusieurs saisons qu’Adut Akech fait tourner la tête de la mode. Sous ses airs de Grace Jones, avec son teint d’ébène et sa moue mutine, l’australo-soudanaise foule absolument tous les podiums des fashion weeks, devenant la coqueluche des créateurs. Avec un CV hors-norme, Adut est ainsi devenue la fière égérie de ces nouveaux mannequins engagés, redonnant espoir en une mode enfin placée sous le signe de la diversité. Portrait de cette étoile montante du mannequinat.  De jeune femme réfugiée ... Rien ne prédestinait Adut à ce monde fashion et glamour. En effet, la jeune fille est née dans l'actuel Soudan du Sud le 25 décembre 1999, son jour de naissance inédit laissant déjà présager un destin grandiose. Quelques mois plus tard, sa famille fuit la guerre et se rend à Kakuma, un camp de réfugiés au Kenya. 7 ans plus tard, elle part pour l'Australie afin de démarrer une nouvelle vie.  Adut fait ensuite ses premiers pas dans le mannequinat à l’âge de 13 ans. Elle défile tout d’abord pour sa tante, modeste créatrice de vêtements. À 16 ans, elle signe un contrat avec l’agence Chadwick Models à Sydney. Néanmoins, c’est lors de la Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia à Melbourne que le déclic se produit. En effet, elle est prise en photo pour un casting d’Yves Saint Laurent en vue de la fashion week parisienne. Quelques jours plus tard, elle reçoit un appel lui confirmant qu'elle est retenue pour le défilé d’YSL. Elle prend alors l'avion pour Paris dès le lendemain, et y fait ses débuts majeurs au défilé printemps-été 2017 d’YSL. Elle devient ainsi la nouvelle protégée du créateur Anthony Vaccarello. En effet, elle signe avec Elite Model Management un contrat d'exclusivité pour Saint-Laurent. Sa carrière est lancée ! "J’ai participé à presque toutes les campagnes depuis que Anthony est devenu le directeur artistique, j’ai grandi proche de lui et de l’équipe. Ils sont comme ma famille", explique-t-elle au magazine I-D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jArln_ePZ4 À mannequin ultra prisé ! Tout s’accélère ensuite pour Adut. Libérée de son engagement avec YSL, elle enchaîne ensuite 32 défilés lors de la fashion week automne-hiver 2018. Tous les créateurs la veulent : de Calvin Klein à New York au show Fendi à Milan, en passant par Chanel, Dior et Givenchy. Adut Akech devient ainsi un incontournable sur la scène mode.  La jeune femme fait également la une de multiples journaux et enchaîne les couvertures de magazines. Elle participe également en 2018 au fameux calendrier Pirelli, réalisé par le photographe Tim Walker. Ce dernier choisit d'uniquement photographier des mannequins noirs, Adut étant donc aux côtés de Sasha Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, RuPaul ou encore Naomi Campbell. Arrive ensuite la consécration d’un parcours extraordinaire. En novembre 2018, Adut Akech fait la une de Vogue Australia, 2 ans seulement après avoir démarré sa carrière dans la mode. Adut boucle ainsi la boucle avec brio.  Mais cela ne s’arrête pas là ! Après Anthony Vaccarello, c’est Karl Lagerfeld qui s’éprend de la beauté soudanaise. En juillet 2018, lors du défilé Chanel automne-hiver, le Kaiser la choisit pour présenter la robe de mariée clôturant le show. Dans un ensemble vert menthe, Adut Akech devient alors la deuxième mariée noire de Chanel, après l'inspirante Alek Wek.  «Je n’arrive pas à croire que je viens de bousculer les codes et de marquer l’histoire en étant la seconde mariée de couture noire de Chanel.» s'exclame Adut en sortant du défilé Chanel. Ultime preuve de son immense succès, le British Fashion Council récompense cette étoile montante de la mode en décembre 2019. En effet, Adut est sacrée «mannequin de l’année» aux British Fashion Awards, à Londres. Signe que son extraordinaire ascension a atteint des sommets. A lire également : Emily Ratajkowski : la femme 2.0 Une It Girl engagée et fière de son passé Des rêves d’entrepreneuriat et de travail caritatif plein la tête, Adut Akech poursuit avec sérieux ses études en parallèle de sa carrière. "Pendant qu’on fait mes cheveux ou mon maquillage, je m’occupe de mes devoirs scolaires. J’ai une école qui me soutient dont je suis très reconnaissante. Ils facilitent tout le processus", raconte-t-elle au site Broadsheet.  De même, malgré son succès fulgurant, Adut n’oublie pas d’où elle vient. Son passé, la jeune mannequin le revendique avec fierté : «Je représente les femmes noires, les réfugiés, les personnes qui partent de rien et construisent quelque chose», assure-t-elle dans le magazine Numéro. Elle travaille d'ailleurs en étroite collaboration avec l'ONU et soutient les programmes humanitaires pour les réfugiés. La top model est donc bien déterminée à insuffler un vent de diversité dans le monde de la mode. Néanmoins, Adut Akech est encore victime de préjugés. Elle a notamment été confondue avec un autre mannequin noir en août dernier dans un magazine de mode australien. La belle soudanaise s’en est indignée sur Instagram, en profitant pour rappeler les discriminations subies par sa communauté : «Cela ne serait jamais arrivé à un mannequin blanc», dénonçait-elle. «Celui qui a fait cela a clairement pensé que c’était moi dans cette image et ce n’est pas normal. Cela montre que les gens sont très ignorants et ont l’esprit étroit, ils pensent que chaque fille noire ou africaine est la même.»  La jeune fille suit cette même dynamique lors de son discours au British Fashion Awards. En effet, elle dédie son prix de mannequin de l'année à tous les jeunes ayant actuellement le statut de réfugiés : "C’est pour les jeunes femmes et hommes qui ont trouvé une représentation et une validation dans mon travail. Je veux qu’ils n’aient jamais peur de rêver grand comme j'ai pu le faire autrefois. Peu importe ce que vous voulez faire, que ce soit un mannequin, acteur ou médecin, vous ne devez jamais douter de vous-même. Ne laissez pas le monde vous convaincre que ce n’est pas possible. Si une réfugiée soudanaise qui vient de rien peut le faire, n'importe qui peut le faire" conclut-elle.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQZxOhZJGTI Un destin inspirant Adut Akech est donc la preuve que la volonté peut tout accomplir. Pleine de force et de courage, la jeune femme s'est donnée les moyens de réussir et a construit de ses propres mains un destin auquel personne ne la prédestinait. Dans une interview, Naomi Campbell, qui est comme une mère spirituelle pour Adut, déclarait ceci : "Je me souviens la première fois que j’ai aperçu (son) visage, je me suis dit : « Mon Dieu ! » Ce fut comme un déclic. « Ça, c’est une star ! » — je l’ai vu immédiatement !". Adut Akech est bel et bien devenue une star et nous a surtout appris une chose. Il ne faut jamais se laisser définir par son passé, mais au contraire provoquer sa chance et saisir les opportunités, ce qu'Adut a donc bien démontré ! Read the full article
