Ellen von Unwerth
The renowned fashion photographer has been posting some of her famous photos with witty references to the global pandemic, like a nude Elle MacPherson perched on a toilet clutching a roll of toilet tissue captioned, “Not sharing any!” Another featuring male model Baptiste Giabiconi showering is captioned, “Not only the hands,” and one of Kate Moss guzzling milk says, “Make sure your fridges are filled!”

“A cuisine a day keeps the blues away!” the New York-based designer posted, challenging himself to each day prepare a new dish that he has never made before. The cooking enthusiast even started a separate Instagram feed, @mrwueats, to document his culinary progress and share recipes.
Among the dishes he’s made so far: chicken noodle soup “the Chinese way”, Singapore-style vermicelli, and chicken and waffles.
