Harper's Bazaar的March 2013目录

PRING IS around the corner, and to honor the occasion, Bazaar is bringing you the freshest styles (and faces) of the moment for our March issue. Cover girl Drew Barrymore posed for Daniel Jackson in a series of gorgeous close-ups and sat down with Christine Lennon to discuss marriage, motherhood, her new beauty line, and the vulnerable side of celebrity (page 434). Speaking of fantastic women, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen is one of the most buzzed-about designers of our time, and her apiary-inspired spring collection was among the highlights of the Paris shows. We got close to the McQueen bee (page 478), whose initial shyness belies one of the most vivid imaginations in the business. Burton discusses how her first job turned into a career (she started as an…

WILD STYLE Make some noise with Proenza Schouler's new Tambourine bag For Proenza Schouler's spring collection, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez focused on the coolness of collage—patchworking different hues of python into a vest, fashioning jackets from contrasting squares of leather, and juxtaposing digital prints for graphic dresses. The designers' fleet of accessories stayed true to the theme, as the duo dreamed up a series of pop-y mixed-media extras. The Tambourine bag (shown) was created with a combination of elements, including animal-print pony hair, hologram lizard skin, patent leather, and anodized-metal tiles. (It also comes in other textures and colorways.) This season it's time to get a little crafty with madcap-material mash-ups. Proenza Schouler bag, $3,995. proenzaschouler.com.…

FIRST RECORD BOUGHT? I don't quite remember, but I've always loved soul music. MOST REREAD BOOK? I was perhaps six or seven years old, and my aunt was building a house in Mosul, in the north of Iraq. The architect was a close friend of my father's, and he used to come to our house with a book of his drawings and sketches. I think it triggered something, as I looked at this book constantly as a child. BEATLES OR STONES? Beatles. TOP OF PLAYLIST? Adele. MOST PROUD OF? It would probably be my architecture. It's difficult to suggest any single one of my buildings because I'm equally proud of all of them; it's like asking somebody who her favorite child is. But perhaps I have a particular kind of…

INTO THE BLUE The latest layering pièce de résistance is a crisp blue shirt (or shirtdress), but these aren't your old oversize boyfriend styles. Go for a frock version with a bit of flare, like Beth Buccini's of Kirna Zabête, and layer it under a bright sweater. Or take a tip from Dasha Zhukova and wear a button-down under a chic jumper.

Are you ready to go micro? This season, designers are showing some seriously brief minis. Luckily for those afraid to bare, there are plenty of other options. How you feel about the return of the miniskirt will depend on the following: your relationship with your legs, your relationship with your age, and your relationship with thick, stretchy, hold-it-all-together tights. "Personally, I despise my legs," says Tibi founder and designer Amy Smilovic, "but a very short skirt felt new to me this season. I love it in the mix, especially when minimalism's so strong. Minis stop it from looking too serious. Plus, a shorter skirt looks a bit younger. I'll wear mine under an enormous sweater and thick tights. Then, as it gets warmer and it's time for the bare-legs look,…

When the writer's ring from a mythic jeweler disappears without a trace, the only thing left to do is tell the story. I MET Joel Arthur Rosenthal in a cavern under Paris, which is a fitting place to meet a man who turns metal and stone into dreams. It was at a dinner in 1994 in a medieval cellar. He was pale, intense, magnetic, and brilliant. I took him for an insightful professor of comparative everything. Later I was told that he made the most exquisite jewelry in the world under his initials: JAR. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I began to glimpse the secret treasures of JAR on the ladies of Paris, and I thought I was dreaming. Were those really eggshells broken in half and…

MUST-VISIT: EXHIBITIONS NOT TO MISS "No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something," the American street photographer Garry Winogrand once said of his medium. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art features more than 300 such Winogrand somethings—moments that magnify an energetic, vivacious America—in a retrospective opening March 9. New York's Museum of Modern Art offers up models, sketches, and photographs by the groundbreaking 19th-century French architect Henri Labrouste. The show gives new life to his Beaux Arts designs, like the soaring glass-and-metal Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. "Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity," at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, covers a period when high fashion seeped into high art. As Paris society in the mid-1800s expressed itself through style, Manet, Monet, Renoir, and other beloved painters captured the modes…

The guy-pocalypse of the author's prediction hits home— with her husband and sons YOU CAN EXPECT a certain amount of strife when you write a book called The End of Men. You can explain that you feel a great deal of sympathy for the men who have lost their way after the recession or been overtaken as breadwinners by their girlfriends and wives. You can explain that a redefinition of manhood is long overdue in this country. But that will not necessarily win the men over. Especially if the cover is in road-sign yellow and the font is GIANT and pink. As with many types of social unrest, I saw the first signs at home. My nine-year-old son saw a color printout of the cover on the dining room table…

At seven o'clock on a gusty evening, a line of partygoers snakes in front of an elevator at a towering oceanfront condo complex, happy and more than a little keyed up: Maria Baibakova has flown into town for Art Basel Miami Beach, and she's offering guests a peek at her up-to-the-minute collection. Baibakova, whose collection includes works by John Baldessari, Tracey Emin, Richard Prince, and Andreas Gursky, among others, wrinkles her nose in delight as her friends file into the penthouse apartment to join a group that comprises such art-world luminaries as Jeffrey Deitch of Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art and super dealer…

OCCASION A lunch with friends and family in Southampton. VENUE It's on our porch, overlooking the backyard. As soon as it gets warmer in April, I like to entertain outside. FLOWERS Peonies are my favorite. The colors pop, and the big blooms don't feel too precious or formal. And they're easy to arrange. However, I love whatever is in season, like hyacinths, but I only use them when entertaining outdoors because they are fragrant. TABLETOP I like to combine print and pattern, even when setting a table. It's a mix of things I've collected and pieces I've received from family. My grandmother gave me her floral china, which is perfect for spring. I play them against Hermès chargers I've had for a while. I found the table linens in India…

THE DESTINATION I love going to Zihuatanejo because of its proximity to uncrowded surf. The climate is great, the people are warm and welcoming, and the town is so quiet and mellow—not very touristy. Also, the food is delicious. I had the best surf session of my life there with my husband. We surfed all day, with only about two or three other people in the water. We would surf, nap on the beach, grab a cold beer, and surf again, and we repeated that pattern until sunset. The water, sun, air, and beach were all so beautiful—a perfect day. THE HOTEL La Casa Que Canta is really romantic and peaceful. There are no TVs in the rooms, just a hammock on a terrace overlooking the ocean. What more could…

FASHION EDITOR: Julia von Boehm At lunch, Drew Barrymore will convince you to split the soup and salad—and the cheeseburger. She'll talk about her favorite new hobby: tie-dyeing yoga leggings in her kitchen sink while her five-month-old daughter, Olive, is napping, something she is "real serious about." And eventually she'll get to the fact that, yes, in addition to getting married, giving birth, and making leggings last year, she developed an enormous, affordable, prestige-quality makeup line for Walmart called Flower. "Everything I do, I do infinite percent," Barrymore says, half of the cheeseburger in hand at a pub in Hollywood. She doesn't just learn to cook; she starts with soups until she's devising her…

Wonderful" is how the renowned British photographer David Bailey describes Yves Saint Laurent. "Many designers are nothing, forgettable. Others are extraordinary. Artists. He was one." Bailey worked with the legendary designer many times over the decades and took this photo for Bazaar's November 1983 issue. The photographer, who has a new show at London's William Morris Gallery, also provided the link between YSL and his muse: "I introduced him to Catherine, actually." That would be Deneuve. The giant pink bow dress seen here was destined to become iconic, but what Bailey enjoyed about shooting Saint Laurent, the person, was that "it was 'all about Yves.' "…

Drew Barrymore has transformed her look time and again, but she's forever been Hollywood's flower child. Sometimes literally: She can't resist buying a fresh bunch for her home and always wears her owncosmetic brand—"Flower makeup, of course." Her wardrobe is a bit of rocker chic, a bit of bohemian flair, combined with bold, sexy sophistication, with pieces from Rag & Bone, J. Crew, and Isabel Marant. And she'll never turn down a shopping trip to her favorite High Street store, Topshop. When it comes to beauty, Drew loves a Mason Pearson brush and trusts her Flower Nail Lacquer for stylish and long-lasting nails. ("Because it stays on so long. No, seriously, it really does.") For quick fixes, she's aseasygoing as she looks, armed with "Aquaphor to put on my lips"…

A die-hard minimalist tries out the season's most maximal trend Despite my penchant for all things short, I'm pretty conservative in terms of dressing—a lot of black, a lot of sheath dresses, and the occasional leather pant. My go-to styles for spring will probably skew toward the mod looks that stole the show at Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. Ultrafeminine, flowy pieces and bright colors aren't really a part of my repertoire. So it's not surprising that while I appreciated the season's major ruffle trend on the runway, it's an unlikely contender where my wardrobe is concerned. Once the province of five-year-old girls and flamenco dancers, oversize ruffles are big this year—literally. Ruffles have kept a low profile since the '80s, and it feels like an appropriate time for them…

Now, in a new book featuring more than 200 never-before-published photographs, Kevin Davies has documented two decades' worth of behind-the-scenes images of the master craftsman at work.

David Bowie's mark on pop culture cuts far deeper than mere performer and musician The great 20th-century painter Paul Klee (1879–1940) had an intriguing theory about our lives. He thought they were characterized by what he called loose continuities—patterns, encounters, and connections that, of course, were revealed only in hindsight with the passage of time. It's an interesting thought experiment to apply to your own life, and it's surprising what loose continuities you'll find there, lurking in the seemingly random journey we make from cradle to grave. To take the ones between my own life and David Bowie's, it begins in 1971 with the release of his fourth album, Hunky Dory. I can see myself in my student flat listening to it again and again and again. I was mesmerized.…

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20 People in authority may not understand your approach to a situation. Give them time; by midmonth you'll be able to articulate your thoughts and demonstrate your unique skills. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: No one ever made a good coat from bad cloth.

Black and white may have made a strong statement on the spring runways for clothing and nails, but have no fear, bold brights are not extinct. There are brilliant coral, fuchsia, pink, and orange polishes aplenty, serving as the perfect pop of color on fingers, toes, or, even better, both. Partial to neutrals? Go for a milky light pink or beige, as seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs. For drama, try a shimmering oxblood, balanced, of course, by a lined or a smoky lid.

Aphrodita Kabashi has a surprisingly calm demeanor for someone who's just had her face injected 120 times in 25 minutes. Maybe it's because she's in the hands of Fredric Brandt, the sought-after New York– and Miami-based dermatologist known for keeping Hollywood's A-list faces looking ageless. Kabashi, a 38-year-old New Yorker and a manager of the chic Garren New York salon, is visiting Brandt for her first LaViv treatment—a breakthrough antiaging procedure that promises to eliminate wrinkles and smooth skin by injecting a patient's own amped-up collagen-producing cells into problem areas. A self-proclaimed sun worshipper, Kabashi says she wants to erase years of UV damage and have a glowing complexion without it looking unnatural. Brandt is the go-to doc for LaViv, having worked as a principal investigator on the clinical trials…

Spirit and substance drive the interiors and buildings of Roman and Williams "A room needs to be comfortable, to have a certain drama, and to tell a story," says Robin Standefer, who, with her husband, Stephen Alesch, runs the New York design firm Roman and Williams. The couple's signature is comfort-chic, both residential (for Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, and at their own Montauk retreat, featured here) and commercial (the Ace and the Standard hotels in New York). Roman and Williams will make a 30-story mark on Manhattan this fall with a struts-to-sheets luxury hotel at 120 West 57th Street.

WHAT'S THE TREND IN FOOD RIGHT NOW? Simplicity—no way back from farm-to-table. People don't want a noodle in the shape of a shrimp or a shrimp in the shape of a noodle! IT SEEMS AS IF EVERYONE'S SERVING KALE SALAD THESE DAYS. YOUR RESTAURANT ABC KITCHEN IS NO EXCEPTION. We are all going back to hippie food! Kale salad is healthy and has good flavor. For me, this is not so different from the cabbage salad I grew up eating in Alsace. YOU INVITE SOME FRIENDS OVER FOR DINNER. WHAT'S THE PLAN? I have my guests arrive around 6:30 or 7 and start the party off with a standing snack—maybe a bowl of crab meat and some toasted bread that people can serve themselves—and sparkling wine or champagne. I serve…

FAVORITE THING ABOUT WEEKENDS IN THE HAMPTONS It's a lot of nature, and all of us—friends, family—get to hang out with fewer distractions. And the kids can run, run, run! We have big family dinners, and I try to squeeze in a SoulCycle class or two. WHERE IS YOUR HOME? Springs, on Long Island's Gardiners Bay. WHAT DO YOU COOK? We basically start cooking when we arrive and never stop! We begin with pancakes in the morning and usually have a lot of soups with fresh-baked bread. I also do salads, and quinoa is always a staple with broccoli and roasted kale. (I love greens. In the city, Organic Avenue's Green Love juice is essential.) In the summer, it's all about fish tacos and using the barbecue. FAVORITE COFFEE–BREAKFAST SPOT…

I've always been obsessed with art and music, and I grew up in the U.K. in the '70s, so it comes as no surprise that I was once a punk. Naturally, I snatched up as many Vivienne Westwood pieces as I could. (Mohair sweaters, bondage pants, and the like are still kicking around my archives somewhere.) Vivienne also hails from my home county of Derbyshire (there must be something in that water), and I consider her a sort of modern-day Diana Vreeland—she thinks in absolutes. It's an absolute thrill to feature the self-proclaimed "only punk left" in our March issue just before the "Punk: Chaos to Couture" exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. She celebrates that rock 'n' roll spirit that makes fashion so exciting. On the topic…

Bazaar acting fashion features director Jennifer Alfano shares her must-haves For me, spring is all about wearing dresses, and I love the tailored yet feminine mix of this Altuzarra piece (1). I am a Pisces, and at the top of my birthday wish list is a Cartier Juste un Clou bangle (2). It would look so nice next to my Love bracelet (hint, hint to the husband!). A Stella McCartney blazer (3) is always a wardrobe staple, this time around in white. I plan to treat this Givenchy shark's-tooth pendant (4) as an everyday "heirloom." The Pomellato band (5), which my husband gave me recently for our 20th (gulp!) anniversary, is a sentimental favorite. I can't have enough gray in my closet, and I love the proportions of this short-sleeved…

THE HOLIDAYS ARE A FABULOUS TIME OF YEAR for many things—catching up with friends, giving gifts, and binge eating, to name a few. That said, my preferred pastime is watching movies. In St. Barts, where I rang in 2013, some friends had coveted Academy Awards screeners, which were dealt like drugs—Argo and Zero Dark Thirty being the crack cocaine of DVDs on the Caribbean island. But I preferred the glory of the old Hollywood movies I brought with me. One that left a lasting impression on many of my friends was Marlene Dietrich in 1930's Morocco. And for good reason: Her gender-bending use of menswear (who could forget the tuxedo she wore?) seems especially timely. I've seen a spectrum of stylish women following suit as of late (no pun intended).…

HER STYLE SWW Creative founder Stephanie Winston Wolkoff knows sartorial gold when she sees it, and it's evident in the contents of her ample closet. Wolkoff knows what she likes and often buys in bulk. (She bought 22 pairs of Manolo Blahniks from Fall 2012.) Other preferred pieces include her Louis Vuitton Richard Prince bags and her collection of vintage Lanvin. "I try to keep my appearance classic and sophisticated," she says. "Style depends more on how you carry yourself in the clothes than the clothes alone, but a killer pair of heels doesn't hurt." WOLKOFF'S FASHION LOVES Wolkoff is keen on ground-grazing dresses, exotic skin cuffs, and vests, as well as furs for winter. "I'm also a huge accessories girl," she says.

WITH SO MANY DESIGNERS hopscotching their way around fashion houses, now is the time to snap up epic pieces from Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière and the like.

David Bowie's first wife recalls the night some of the world's biggest stars said goodbye to Ziggy Stardust One woman exposed her breasts to Barbra Streisand, or so I heard. Not only is this the last show of the tour, but it's the last show we'll ever do," said my then husband, David Bowie, from the stage of the Hammersmith Odeon. It wasn't David who was retiring, of course; it was his alter ego Ziggy Stardust. There was a hush, a mighty intake of breath from the audience, as what he said sank in. Why was he killing off Ziggy? Was he sick? Was he dying? We had planned a "retirement" party after the show. Mick Jagger and Bianca, Paul and Linda McCartney, Lou Reed, and Barbra Streisand were all…

Fashion's most outspoken and often outlandish designer, Vivienne Westwood, never ceases to surprise SHE BRAZENLY MIXED Scottish tartans with spiked dog-collar chokers, adorned humble clothes with safety pins, turned bondage gear into high fashion, and received the esteemed Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth for her sartorial achievements while wearing no underwear. (She gave an infamous twirl that was well documented by the paparazzi.) Vivienne Westwood is punk rock's grande dame. Westwood's creative collaboration with her former lover and partner, Malcolm McLaren, spawned a style revolution. Through the 1970s, their notorious Kings Road boutique—variously known as Let It Rock; Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die; Sex; and during the punk era, Seditionaries—was instrumental in introducing the now iconic punk elements to the world. By the time…

Zumba's cha-chas and pelvic thrusts can change your life, reports Alex Kuczynski I HAVE always been a running, tennis-playing athlete. I've done the New York City Marathon. I've ski-raced in Chile. I used to train with a martial arts guy who brought a bucket in case I puked. My workout buddies have never been girls in leotards on Pilates machines; they were the jocks climbing ropes and banging sledgehammers into industrial tires and telling each other things like "The beatings will continue until morale improves." But last April my friend Calysta, a Zumba teacher, urged me to try her dance class. Dance? It seemed a bit too twee, a bit too leg-warmers-and-purposely sloppy sweatshirts. And Zumba dance? Wasn't that for the ladies at the Y, shuffling along to some Putumayo…

WE HEARD YOUR NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY IN GSTAAD WAS FANTASTIC. TELL US WHAT MADE IT SO SPECIAL. My chalet in Gstaad is one of the oldest in the village—full of memories, flowers, cozy sofas. For a party, I just add some room for dancing and a good DJ. I don't like themes, but I like people well dressed. I am a bit superstitious, and I like to see nice things around me and good manners. This New Year's party had just three tables of 10, decorated with vases of four-leaf clovers (again, the superstitions!). The buffet was quite rich. We had cotechino with lentils, our national New Year's plate (it brings good luck), pâté de foie gras (made at home), two pastas, risotto with white truffles, vegetables for our…

Mother of invention. Jacket, Burton's own. The setting is pure McQueen: A very pregnant Sarah Burton enters a greenhouse at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond upon Thames, England, on a drizzly Monday morning. The sky is thick with rain clouds, and the pathways are an obstacle course of puddles and mud. Burton is swathed in an animal-print scarf, leggings, a tailored black shirt, and an overcoat, her pale blue eyes immediately lighting up at the natural splendor before her. There are rows of seed packets, old-fashioned metal watering cans, shelves of Wellington boots, and rows of spring bulbs in pots. All of it feels wonderfully connected to Burton's Spring 2013 show, which was inspired by bees and beekeeping. Like McQueen before her, Burton has an incredibly fervid imagination. "With bees, I…

SUMMARY OF THE SEASON After seeing the Spring 2013 collections, I began to think, Are the only tools needed for a new spring wardrobe a ruler and a T square? Designers came up with so many geome-tricks that they seemed to herald a new era of optical illusion. But the games designers play are complex, and many other ideas came down the runways. There were cultural reference mash-ups, such as fedoras and floor-sweeping skirts, that at first looked like 1970s throwbacks. On closer inspection, the fabrics told a modern story. Womanly glamour brought ruffles and rivulets splashing across the body in waves of brightly colored silks—or, in the case of Balenciaga, the undulating fabric produced sensuous Spanish skirts. The same ladylike look came through as a feminine blouse rooted somewhere…

Despite what she thought was a healthy, well-balanced diet, Meri*, a private chef in Los Angeles, was still struggling with the same 10 pounds she'd put on in college. She had lagging energy levels, which she beat back with caffeinated beverages, and endured persistent skin breakouts.
