Índice para September 2020 em Harper's Bazaar

In fashion, September always marks the beginning of a new season. But, as we head into the final months of a year of extraordinary challenges and phenomenal change, this September is different for so many reasons. It is also a moment of opportunity, when we’re not left just to imagine a better, more equitable world for everyone, but compelled to find ways to see the world we imagine made real. This issue explores that notion on a range of fronts, from how Rihanna has upended the beauty business by reaching out to communities the industry has largely overlooked (page 141); to why Fair Fight founder and former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams is intent on making sure that every voice is heard ahead of a pivotal election season (page…

BRYN MAWR, PA “I live in the Philadelphia area and wanted to create a special place where women could discover and shop amazing designers. We provide a solutionoriented yet inspirational collection of fashion.” PALM BEACH, FL “Palm Beach is our newest store, located in the iconic Royal Poinciana Plaza, and we’re in good company. You can spend all day shopping with us, grab an exquisite dinner, and more—you’ll never want to leave.” EAST HAMPTON, NY “My boutique in East Hampton started as a pop-up shop. It was such a success and I loved everything about the location—the beach, vibes, style—that opening a permanent location just felt right. There was a market for my edit and it all came together perfectly.” SOHO, NY “The birth of Kirna Zabête all began with…

When you grow up in Nigeria, you don’t really understand race in the way you do once you leave. You’re not “different.” I mean, I was always considered a weirdo and a misfit, but not because of the color of my skin. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah does an incredible job of telling the story of a Nigerian immigrant. The word “uoma” means beautiful in Igbo. It was critical to make my brand name mean something in my local language. That was me reclaiming my Nigerian heritage. My Say What?! Foundation comes in 51 shades, but it goes beyond that. Common concerns for fair skin are hypersensitivity, redness, and dryness, whereas mine are oiliness and hyperpigmentation. We created six custom formulas to cater to these needs. My Bad Ass Icon…

MCMULLEN From the custom-created mannequins of color to the exceptional, hand-picked edit of small brands, every element of Sherri McMullen’s boutiques has a purpose. You’ll leave McMullen feeling inspired and empowered. “We are an inclusive luxury shop…we spend time researching and championing our designers’ stories and the story of each piece we carry.” BROTHER VELLIES Revolutionizing the industry with the 15 Percent Pledge, designing incredible shoes, and supporting artisans are all in a day’s work for Aurora James. “With the 15 Percent Pledge, I am asking huge corporations to allocate 15 percent of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses.” AURORA JAMES CREATIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER, BROTHER VELLIES THE FOLKLORE “My mission is to find ways for designers based in Africa and the diaspora to financially profit as brands and as…

Exploring class, beauty, and the confusion of adolescence through the eyes of a young girl searching for her mysterious Aunt Vittoria in ’90s Naples, Elena Ferrante’s captivating bildungsroman The Lying Life of Adults (Europa Editions) is a satisfying follow-up to her wildly popular Neapolitan novels. In Homeland Elegies(Little, Brown and Company), Pulitzer Prize–winning author and playwright Ayad Akhtar addresses issues of identity and belonging in post-9/11 America through the story of a Pakistani-born father and his son. PEN/Hemingway Award winner Yaa Gyasi’s sophomore effort, Transcendent Kingdom (Knopf), offers a heart-wrenching portrait of a woman in a Ghanaian immigrant family fractured by addiction and loss, who is torn between science and religion as she struggles to make sense of it all…

BB GLOW Get the look of tinted moisturizer for up to two weeks—plus a cumulative skin-care benefit—with BB Glow. This treatment involves superficially microneedling iron oxide pigments and skin-care ingredients into your skin to even tone by adding a tint of color, says Christopher Drummond, a licensed aesthetician and cosmetic tattoo artist at PFRANKMD Skin Salon in New York. Expect a slight tingling sensation during the procedure. To see real improvements in the quality of your skin, three treatments are recommended ($350 each). LIP BLUSHING Now that lipstick poses a hassle while wearing a face covering, the truly lip-color-obsessed may want to try lip blushing. Also called micropigmentation, it’s technically a form of tattooing, but the pigment doesn’t go deep enough into the skin to become permanent. “It does more…

THE IDEA OF “QUARANTINE HAIR” conjures up images of botched haircuts and self-applied highlights, but to many it’s been a welcome break from chemical processes, heat styling, and overwashing, plus a chance to get the healthiest hair ever. Take advantage of the downtime, says New York–based stylist Naeemah LaFond. Ease off the hot tools and styling products, and focus on nourishing treatments. “They’re not only a great way to improve the condition of your hair, but they also give you a moment to take care of yourself,” she says. 1 DON’T STRESS OVER HAIRCUTS A trim every eight to 10 weeks isn’t always necessary. If you have long, healthy hair, you can get away with two haircuts a year, says hairstylist Sally Hershberger. Just look out for those extra-delicate split…

In 2004, at 19 years old, I left my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, and headed for Los Angeles. Moving across the country with no family or social support in place might deter someone else from taking that leap, but the safety net that they’d perhaps feel they were leaving behind didn’t exist for me. While I didn’t have the language to characterize trans identity back then, I knew that in Kentucky exploring any identity outside of the default was everything but “safe.” I’d soon come to discover that brand of hate I’d feared wasn’t exclusive to an isolated region of the country but was actually a symptom of a global ailment. In L.A., I settled in quite seamlessly. I found a small apartment, a job in retail, and, more important,…

“Wearing the color red telegraphs strength, confidence, and sensuality.” When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives in 2019, becoming the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, she chose to wear bright red lipstick in an act of both solidarity and defiance. The shade was inspired by Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who, despite having been advised to stick to a more neutral color for her confirmation hearings, wore cherry-red nail polish to the White House reception celebrating her appointment in 2009, when she became the first Latinx member of the Supreme Court. With a few swipes of red pigment, both women asserted their authority and bucked sexist conventions, which held that bold makeup and politics didn’t mix. Wearing the color red telegraphs strength, confidence, and sensuality. In…

DR. MELINA ABDULLAH PROFESSOR & ACTIVIST “DR. MELINA ABDULLAH is one of the preeminent activists in the Black Lives Matter movement,” says DuVernay of the professor of Pan-African studies at California State University, Los Angeles. “I knew her before then as an academic who was deeply entrenched in knowledge sharing around African and African-American culture, and politics and Black liberation theory.” Abdullah, who grew up in the Bay Area, cites her mother as a formative influence on her decision to pursue social justice as part of her work. “I remember my mom, who was an elementary school teacher, hitting the block in our old Volvo station wagon, and all the kids in our East Oakland neighborhood would hear our car hit the corner, and they would come running to our…

“I just really have faith in the youth. I kind of love that there is no leader, whereas every other big movement in history has sort of been led by somebody. Part of the awakening that’s happening right now is: there is no hero. You have to be the hero.” —Melody Ehsani “There was such a value to get to spend time with my family, and it also made me realize hope for my daughter’s future – that there can be some healing and that would hopefully lead to a more positive future. If anything, I’m more focused on exploring the idea of identity of femininity, which is very much, for me, a balance of fragility and strength.” —Simone Rocha At Nordstrom, our goal is to reflect positively in the…

THE FIRST Black Barbie was introduced to the world in 1980. Since then, she has smashed through the 11.5-inchhigh glass ceiling to become an astronaut, a polar marine biologist, a judge, and even a candidate for president. Over the past 40 years, so much has changed, and there is still so much more work to be done. But as Barbie continues to tackle bigger challenges and inspire new generations, there is one title she will always have: Icon.…

SINCE FOUNDING Pyer Moss seven years ago, Kerby Jean-Raymond has consistently used his runway as a platform for a series of larger conversations about race, culture, and activism. He once themed a collection around mental health in Black communities, and before another show, screened a 12-minute short in which he interviewed relatives of police brutality victims. This fall, Jean-Raymond will present his latest cinematic effort, American, Also, a feature-length documentary that uses his Spring 2020 show, which was held at the historic Kings Theatre in Flatbush, Brooklyn, and inspired by a long-unheralded rock’n’roll pioneer, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, as a jumping-off point to explore the egregious erasure of Black people in the arts. “We’re more than a statistic, we’re more than the bad story, we’re more than the killings, we’re more…

AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 Deciding whether or not to invest in a creative venture shouldn’t be a chore. And definitely don’t let someone with a frugal streak discourage you. Check your figures, and if all’s well have everything ready to go by month’s end. LUCKY DAY: The 4th. A tussle causes your rivals to think again. LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 In a bid to keep the peace, you’ll steer clear of any talk regarding how much you’re supposed to contribute to a certain arrangement. But get it off your chest before a clash ensues. LUCKY DAY: The 13th. Scrutinizing a complex scheme brings solutions. CANCER JUNE 22–JULY 23 Manage your expectations when workmates, through no fault of their own, fail to provide necessary support. Be patient; you’ll get there in the…

These brands aren’t the biggest players in the industry, but they represent a clear shift in what consumers have come to expect from their beauty products. Rather than focusing on trends and market research, these founder-led companies are leaning into their own cultural heritages and personal stories to reach new audiences. But the aim is ultimately the same—to make people feel beautiful. JUVIA’S PLACE Foundation shades for every skin tone under the sun and packaging that celebrates African cultures “Growing up in Nigeria, all I saw were Black women in beauty,” says Juvia’s Place founder Chichi Eburu. It wasn’t until Eburu immigrated to the U.S. that she experienced what she calls “culture shock.” The industry she saw was devoid of Black representation from advertising to the corporate level, she says,…

The brand’s signature functionality (top handle and removable strap, interior pockets, magnetic closure) is a given, but this coveted style now comes in a mini size that’s just right for everyday ease. We especially love the polished croc-embossed exterior and sophisticated new colorway that exudes luxury.…

THE BOOT In addition to fashion, one of Coco Chanel’s great loves was horses. The designer was an avid rider and racecourse regular, and counted English polo player Boy Capel among her muses. Now, for Chanel’s fall collection, the house’s artistic director, Virginie Viard, has created an entire range of 72 equestrianinspired looks, grounding all of them with the same leather boot. Featuring a brown fold-over cuff and a stacked heel, it pays homage to the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, who wore similar styles with his signature polished suits.…

Few people represent the rebellious spirit of downtown New York in the ’80s and ’90s quite like Kim Gordon. In her upcoming visual diary, Kim Gordon: No Icon (Rizzoli), the artist, author, and Sonic Youth cofounder chronicles her metamorphosis from a Southern California flower child into a boundary-breaking alt-rock trailblazer. Featuring an assemblage of personal photographs and newspaper and magazine clippings interspersed with lyrics, notes, and paintings, the book offers a glimpse of the creative life and work of a woman who has always championed other women and made independence feel fashionable.…

Using a combination of photo transfer, oil painting, and finger painting, Amoako Boafo’s striking portraits celebrate the beauty of Blackness in all its diversity and complexity. Born in Accra, Ghana, the Vienna-based artist was the breakout star of last year’s Art Basel Miami Beach, and recently lent his hand to Kim Jones’s painterly Dior Men Spring 2021 collection. He will have a solo show at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery in Chicago, opening September 10. Titled “I Stand By Me,” it features large-scale canvases depicting strong, luminous figures against monochrome backdrops, inspired by emerging Black creatives from the African Diaspora, their forms rendered in almost-sculptural whirls of blue and brown paint…

WHEN THE FALL runway shows were held earlier this year (before the pandemic shut down countries across the globe), graphic liner was having a major moment—but no one knew it would become a huge trend. “Liner is having a resurgence because of the rise in the need for face masks, which put the focus on the eye area,” says L’Oréal Paris Consulting Celebrity Makeup Artist Sir John. “Right now, people want a look that’s quick and easy.” Whether you’re looking for a little definition or more drama, Sir John explains how to master each by using L’Oréal Paris Le Liner Signature. TIGHTLINING Makeup artists love to rim the upper waterline underneath your lashes, also known as tightlining, because it brightens the eyes while defining them. “Tight-lining is also great to…

EVENING RITUAL Estée Lauder has rebooted its iconic nighttime serum for faster results. Expect fewer lines in three weeks and better hydration for three days—yes, three days. EYE CANDY Complement a face mask with fabulous eye makeup: Dior’s fall palettes have the perfect mix of subtle and shocking shades.

PRECIOUS RESOURCE If you’re going to splurge on skin care, consider La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift ($690). It uses the brand’s signature (and famously researched) caviar technologies to give skin a boost. BAR NONE Home workouts have exploded, and with them so has the…

MEETING A MEGASTAR for the first time can be nerve-racking. You never really know what to expect. So, naturally, even as I looked out over the calming Hudson River from the rooftop of a Manhattan photo studio, I was a little antsy. Then the elevator rang, the door opened, and out walked Rihanna It was 2007. I was an assistant beauty editor at the time. Rihanna was fresh off the release of her wildly successful third album, Good Girl Gone Bad. She was one of the hottest artists in the world. So I watched intently as she casually strolled in as if she’d just hopped off the A train, rocking an oversize hoodie, jeans, and a skully, with two of her girls from Barbados in tow. She shook hands with…

JANELLE MONÁE: In your book Our Time Is Now, you write about what you call the New American Majority—the people of color, young people, moderates and progressives, who galvanized behind you and your race for governor of Georgia in 2018. You believe these folks are a key force in the upcoming federal elections. In the time between when you wrote the book and when it was published in June, we saw our country gripped by this pandemic. We’re all in the middle of Covid-19 right now, and we’re in a reckoning with racial justice, and the stark and tragic effects of inequality. How do you feel that this New American Majority has evolved or changed over the past six months? STACEY ABRAMS: The full title of the book is Our…

BACK IN FEBRUARY, before the world warped into a pandemic thriller, before the killing of George Floyd ignited a movement for racial justice, before an uninsignia’d military-style police force was dispatched to quell protesters in the streets of American cities, Jenny Holzer stood in a small, windowless side room in her otherwise bright Brooklyn studio overlooking the East River. Transparent plastic sheets lined the floors; blood-red watercolors in progress leaned against the walls. I told her it looked a bit like a crime scene. “Or an abattoir,” she said. The watercolors began, Holzer explained, with reproduced enlargements of declassified government documents, to which she added paint in carefully modulated drips, sometimes producing loose, flowing skeins, at other points short, intense dabs and oozing puddles of crimson. This particular series took…
