Inhaltsverzeichnis für March 2022 in Harper's Bazaar

IN THIS ISSUE, we explore the idea of legacy—what it means to build one or leave one behind and what it means to shepherd, be a part of, or reckon with one. It’s a concept that many of the subjects in these pages have had to confront, both privately and publicly, at various points in their lives: tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, who changed the face of the sport; Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing, whose quest to understand his own identity has played an essential role in his approach to fashion; writer Margaret Atwood and scientist Jane Goodall, icons in their respective fields who’ve emerged as prescient voices in the fight for climate justice; 91-year-old artist Faith Ringgold, who struggled for years to make a place for herself in the…

World-renowned brands like Chanel, Dior, and YSL Beauty have been turning out blockbuster beauty products for decades—in some cases, for more than a century. (Shiseido turns 150 this year.) With such extensive catalogs, they have had no shortage of hits, but their quieter successes are often equally intriguing. For every Chanel No. 5, there’s a Chanel Cuir de Russie, a perfume that beauty insiders are just as quick to recommend. “When I first bought it in 2005, the salesperson had to bring it out from the back. It wasn’t even on display,” says Tania Sanchez, coauthor of Perfumes: The Guide, the definitive compendium of scents. Here, a roundup of some of the other stealthy favorites that you may not know about…yet. BROW DOWN Makeup artist Daniel Martin, who works with…

Years ago, when I was an editor at another publication, I was among a group of editors invited to meet with Serena Williams and hear her speak about her life, her sport, and her future aspirations. Toward the end of the meeting, someone in the group asked her why she thought there were so many young Black rising stars in women’s tennis compared with men’s. She waited a beat and then very simply said: “Because there is a Venus and a Serena.” As we began working on this issue, which is dedicated to the theme of legacy, I kept going back to this moment because of its simple truth. Seeing one’s likeness in a place of power allows one to aspire and to dream; it provides a road map and…

TRESSIE MCMILLAN COTTOM COVER-STORY WRITER: “Origin Story,” page 165 “Legacy is about honoring the power created for you to write your own story and about creating that power for others. My work writes into the legacy of the many Black women who made me possible, from my great-grandmother to ancestors I will never know to the amazing Black artists and thinkers who inspire me just by existing.” LACY REDWAY COVER-STORY HAIRSTYLIST: “Origin Story,” page 165 “I hope to build upon the legacy started by Black women who have paved the way for me to continue passing the torch on. Storytelling is a gift that I am honored to share with so many. Black hair has had a traumatic past, so it’s an essential part of my legacy to contribute to…

AS THE 1960S ARRIVED, my older sister, Denise, and I were always looking for ways to insert ourselves into tales of glory and glamour, especially when they starred Negroes. Denise did Imperious better. I did Luminous better. Denise had longer, better-defined legs; I had a smaller waist and fuller breasts. Denise was statuesque. I was diminutive. We brought our uncertainties along, likewise our vanities. We told these tales through our needs. THE BLACK FEMALE BODY These days we boldly study the ways in which it was mocked, maimed, degraded. We honor the scars and fragments; we give them meaning. We investigate the black female body’s present, consider its future possibilities. THE BLACK FEMALE BODY— resides now in the sanctum of historical analysis and artistic reinvention. We savor its revelations. We…

“LOVE BRINGS LOVE” Designer Alber Elbaz always dreamed of reviving the French postwar tradition of théâtre de la mode, a group showcase of contemporary fashion open to the public. After the AZ Factory founder and former Lanvin creative director passed away last year from Covid-19, 46 international houses and designers came together to put on a fashion show inspired by the joy he brought to his work. The looks—like a hot-pink ruffled Valentino gown and a Dries Van Noten coat featuring Elbaz’s smiling self-portrait—will be on view at Paris’s Palais Galliera beginning March 5. THE FENDI SET AND DIOR BY JOHN GALLIANO The Fendi Set (Rizzoli) examines the influence of Bloomsbury Set writers and artists on Kim Jones’s work at Fendi, juxtaposing Virginia Woolf’s and Vanessa Bell’s letters and diary…

Venus Williams made her professional tennis debut in 1994. Her sister Serena followed her in 1995. That is more than 20 years of Williams sisters not only dominating the world of tennis but also starring as main characters in the Venn diagram of sports and pop culture. Between them, they have 48 Grand Slam titles (including 14 shared women’s doubles titles), several fashion lines, a venture-capital firm, and an interior-design company. Venus is now 41, Serena is 40, and neither has yet retired—a rare two-decade streak of physical authority for any athlete. This rise to power would be atypical for anyone, but for two Black girls from Compton, California, it’s legendary. It is the stuff of movies, and, indeed, this past year Venus and Serena executive-produced King Richard, a film that…

CAROLYN BESSETTE KENNEDY remains one of the most enduring exemplars of ’90s minimalism. A former publicist for Calvin Klein, she cut a chic swath alongside her husband, John F. Kennedy Jr., favoring high-end American sportswear, streamlined pieces from Yohji Yamamoto and Ann Demeulemeester, and a few key signature accessories, like her patent-leather Prada shoulder bag. The original, released as part of the Italian house’s Fall 1995 collection, featured a clean design and boxy silhouette that made it an instant hit. This spring, Prada is adding a brushed-leather version to its Re-Edition lineup, joining a selection of popular mini styles and hobos from the 2000s. HB…

IN THE 1950S, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS began incorporating zodiac motifs into its collections, launching a line of 12 pendants that each represented a different astrological sign. Rendered in gold and produced in a variety of sizes, they were soon translated into a selection of bracelets, key rings, and cuff links that remain integral to the French jeweler’s identity today. In the 1970s, the house added a range of colorful charms. Now, Van Cleef has reimagined these signature styles in two new Zodiaque collections. The first set features classic yellow-gold medals emblazoned with each star sign, while the second showcases larger medallions with rose-gold astrological motifs against backdrops of ornamental stones. From turquoise and malachite to lapis lazuli and red jasper, the gems are meant to correspond with each sign’s…

Over the course of their respective 60-year careers, Jane Goodall and Margaret Atwood have each translated a reverence for the natural world into groundbreaking work that’s shifted the conversation around the fight for environmental justice. In 1960, at age 26, Goodall relocated from the U.K. to what is now Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to live with and study the Kasakela chimpanzee community. There, she made a monumental discovery: that they had unique personalities and emotions. Her work forever changed the science of primatology. Since then, she has been fighting to conserve the habitat of her beloved chimps, as well as those of other species, through the Jane Goodall Institute and its global youth program, Roots & Shoots. For Atwood, climate change has long been a through line in her…

“The MORE they DIDN’T like WHAT I WAS DOING, the more I realized it was WHAT I NEEDED to DO.” Even at a young age, I had this feeling that I had my own vision and it didn’t matter whether other people liked what I was doing or not. I just needed to get it out there. In 1966, I joined the Spectrum Gallery, which was a cooperative exhibition space near the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan. At that time, I was the only Black artist who was a member. The director, Robert Newman, was incredibly supportive and gave me my first show there—my first show outside of Harlem, where I grew up. But I’m not sure that the other artists who were part of the gallery back…

The silver lining to the pandemic that devastated Northern Italy during its first wave is that the country’s most tourist-packed cities rethought crowd control—whether by reducing the number of mega cruise ships disgorging day trippers into Venice or preventing mile-long lines in Florence by moving masterpieces from the Uffizi Gallery to sites across Tuscany. Along with Milan, these cities now belong as much to the locals as they do to visitors, making your next trip full of discovery and charm. FLORENCE Stay at Il Tornabuoni Hotel. This sumptuous ode to the Renaissance, which opened last fall, boasts 62 rooms, each swathed in a heavy palette of jewel tones, velvet, and passementerie. Beautify at Santa Maria Novella, an 800-year-old apothecary whose antique cabinet shelves are lined with hundreds of botanical products.…

HALEY ALEXANDER VAN OOSTEN Fragrance designer Haley Alexander van Oosten was in search of sandalwood—not just any variety but aged sandalwood heartwood, nearly impossible to come by in recent years due to overharvesting. The Los Angeles–based self-described “scent artist” was in the process of developing aromatic oils for the Row, a new category for the brand. Van Oosten, who is also the founder of fragrance design studio L’Oeil du Vert, scours the globe for small quantities of just the right components for bespoke projects. For the Row, she made three visits to a Hong Kong sandalwood collector before he even opened a bottle of sandalwood-heartwood essence from India that had been sealed for over 20 years. “That moment was literally magical. When I smelled it, time stopped,” van Oosten says.…

On a typical gray winter day in Paris, when the persistent drizzle of rain dishevels even its chicest residents, the French fashion designer Olivier Rousteing arrives at the Balmain headquarters in impeccable form. Dressed in all black—a sharp blazer over a hoodie—and a pair of oversize sunglasses, he radiates the star power of someone who is perpetually photo-ready. Even at 10 a.m. Since Rousteing assumed the creative-director role at Balmain in 2011, his image has been a billboard for the brand. With 7.4 million followers on Instagram, he represents the modern-day celebrity our digital lives have shaped: the kind who seems glamorous and relatable at once. It’s a paradox he’s harnessed since he took on the job at the age of 25, when he became not only the youngest creative…

THE WORD LEGACY IS OFTEN associated with the past, but Virgil Abloh always knew that it was really about the future. It was a notion that the late designer, artist, and creative force, who passed away in November, lived by. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois, the son of parents who had immigrated to the U.S. from Ghana, Abloh was enthralled with skateboarding and hip-hop, two subcultures with strong DIY ethics. Abloh later earned a degree in architecture and became a student of systems and spaces, skills he put to good use as a collaborator on some of Kanye West’s most groundbreaking albums, tours, and projects and in launching his own streetwear brand in 2012, Pyrex Vision, followed by Off-White in 2013. The success Abloh eventually achieved with Off-White and at…
