I remember the first time I saw Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform. I had just moved to New York City, and I saw Judith Jamison star in Revelations. It was one of those experiences; I knew I had just witnessed something transformative. I was at another show recently where someone in the audience spoke about keeping their palms and heart open during a performance—all the better to take in what the dancers are putting out. And let me tell you, whatever Ms. Jamison was transmitting that day, I got it. Message received. PERFORMANCE HAS THE POWER to do this: to make us feel things viscerally, to transform us. It’s why we devote our August issue to celebrating its capacity to change us. So what a thrill and honor to…

When Alvin Ailey founded the Alvin AileyAmerican Dance Theater at the age of 27, in 1958, he wanted to create a company dedicated to exploring and expressing the Black experience through dance. His seminal works include the joyous Blues Suite, set to traditional blues music sung by Brother John Sellers, about men and women in the rural Depression-era Texas of his childhood spending a night out drinking and dancing; 1971’s Cry, an emotional birthday gift to his mother; and his most famous piece, 1960’s Revelations, a celebration of the “blood memories” of his youth, set to spirituals, song-sermons, gospel, and holy blues. When he died in 1989, he had choreographed 79 narrative works. More importantly, he’d brought performers and choreographers of color—and the stories that resonated with them and their…

Shoes and jewels are vital, but perfume can really pull a look together. “You can change who you are with a fragrance and tell a different story; it’s like the final accessory,” says Delfina Delettrez Fendi, artistic director of jewelry and a fourth-generation family member at Fendi. For almost a century, the Fendi family has crafted fine leather goods and sought-after It bags like the Baguette and Peekaboo that have stood the test of time. For the launch of its firstever fragrance collection, the Italian house worked with three perfumers to lean into its lineage. Now, seven Fendi family members—plus the brand’s artistic director of couture and womenswear, Kim Jones—have corresponding scents inspired by their personality, travels, and heritage. La Baguette represents the iconic bag and Delfina’s twins, Tazio and…

“My CHILDHOOD HOME was full of MIRRORS—mirrored walls and furniture—and I learned a lot about EXPRESSION in that ENVIRONMENT.… From a really EARLY AGE, I just knew my BODY, knew MYSELF.”PRECIOUS LEE, MODEL “WHERE I am now is PAST whatever I was THINKING.… This is BIGGER than that. So now, I’m just going for the RIDE.”TEMS, SINGER AND SONGWRITER This past year, whenever I’ve felt like I’ve needed an escape from our current reality, which is often, I’ve dived into reading histories of 20th-century New York City. I love this genre in part for the fleeting glimpses it provides of the types of people we used to call characters: people who convey an entire life story in a single gesture or turn of phrase or biographical detail. In Smash Cut,…

In an issue dedicated to performance, what travel destination could be more on theme than those resorts and respites where one can behold the magnetic majesty of mountains, nature’s finest show, up close? For almost every culture and religion, those peaks, shaped by tectonic plates colliding and volcanoes exploding, symbolize transformation and the divine. More and more travelers are seeking out mountain towns over beaches during summer months for their cooler climates. In the wild north of Norway, where the sun doesn’t set for weeks at a time in the summer, guests at the new Wood Hotel Bodø, built near the summit of Mount Rønvik, can hike a network of trails even at midnight. For those who would rather take in their surroundings with a drink in hand, the 177-room…

Earlier this year, WhitneyWolfe Herd, founder of app giant Bumble and a cofounder of Tinder, offered a solution for the future of dating: AI. Speaking onstage at the Bloomberg Technology Summit in San Francisco in May, Wolfe Herd envisioned a scenario where an app user’s AI “dating concierge” would “date” other people’s AI concierges, recommending the best matches among the lot. People reacted with a mix of malaise, amusement, and horror, many pointing out that this was a plot point in the dystopian Netflix series Black Mirror. How did we get here? Let’s rewind. In the spring of 2020, as Covid-19 blanketed the U.S., dating-app usage surged. Bumble’s video-call feature saw a 70 percent increase in activity. The number of OkCupid users going on virtual dates shot up by a…

I’VE ALWAYS HAD a love-hate relationship with skirts. It’s not that I haven’t given them a go; in fact, I can trace a specific skirt to each era of my formative years. When I was a tween, Abercrombie & Fitch’s ruffled cotton mini was it. I don’t have a clue why my parents allowed me to wear such a thing at such an age, nor how I got away with it in Catholic school, but it was in steady rotation. In high school, I evolved into a slightly more grown-up but no less mini pleated Burberry tartan knockoff from Express and a beaded jersey miniskirt from Cynthia Rowley that was a version of something J.Lo would’ve worn when she sang “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” In college, I was obsessed…

It’s often said that if you can identify a person’s silhouette by his or her hair, that’s the mark of a true idol. Would Elvis have been Elvis without his pompadour? What about Tina Turner and her spiky volume? Would Lady Gaga have taken off without her hair bow? A signature hairstyle can help take a pop artist from one-hit wonder to a certified icon. Think of Ariana Grande’s high ponytail, Billie Eilish’s two-toned dye jobs, Dolly Parton’s sky-high bouffant wigs, and Cher’s waistgrazing mane; a signature style can make a lasting impact. Diana Ross, whose career has spanned more than 60 years, still does her own voluminous curls and makeup and was on the beauty mood board for the Marc Jacobs Spring 2024 show. “I could be playing charades…

It is a warm afternoon in late spring, and Winona Ryder and I are walking through the Oakland Cemetery, a Victorianstyle graveyard located in the center of Atlanta. Large oak and magnolia trees shade the manicured paths as we stroll between the grand mausoleums and tombstones. Ryder is wearing a straw bonnet, with a well-worn Leonard Cohen T-shirt under a black chore jacket that has a pin of a cartoon drawing of Jim Jarmusch affixed to its lapel. Her eyes are rimmed with eyeliner, and her sneakers are splattered with paint. Ryder is the first to admit that the word icon has become overused: “Everyone uses it now, and they don’t know what a real icon is,” she says. But she looks, as she always has, like the poster child…
