FALL HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED, in all its feathered, fur-covered glory. Not that the new season is purely escapist—there are plenty of fresh riffs on classic tailoring, timeless trench coats, and primary colors to keep things wearable (page 448). The American frontier was also top of mind, as designers drew inspiration from the Old West, filling the runways with leather fringe, romantic lace, quilted patchwork, and other prairie-chic fare. It’s a style that resonates with Southern belle Reese Witherspoon, who shares her thoughts on the trend (page 430). Elsewhere, Barneys New York’s creative ambassador, Simon Doonan, unpacks fashion’s fabulous new strange factor (page 462); and the inimitable Kate Moss, the face of Calvin Klein’s latest fragrance, Obsessed, looks back on the 1993 photo shoot for the brand’s advertising campaign that made…

FORTUNATELY for the fashion world, Yves Saint Laurent was a meticulous record keeper, documenting every stage of his incomparable career. This fall, the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent will inaugurate two museums showcasing everything from sketches and garment prototypes to photographs and financial ledgers, dating from the house’s debut in 1962 (when the designer was just 25) to his final bow in 2002. The first, his famed Parisian atelier at 5 Avenue Marceau, will be transformed into the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris. And in Morocco, near Marrakech’s Jardin Majorelle—the botanical garden he and partner Bergé purchased in 1980—visitors can view selections from Saint Laurent’s storied archives in a newly constructed complex featuring a library, an auditorium, and a terrace café. Landmark events for the style set, the twin launches…

BLANC SLATE As these fashion mavericks demonstrate, white on white is this season’s ultimate power move. BELLA HADID channeled Old Hollywood in a Nicolas Jebran look with a sexy thigh-high slit at a Bulgari event in Venice, Italy; NAOMI WATTS proved you can work a tailored jacket with an ethereal dress in Giorgio Armani; and ZENDAYA sealed her style-setter status in an off-the-shoulder peplum top and a pencil skirt by Ralph & Russo. Meanwhile, CONSTANCE JABLONSKI was every inch the star in a formfitting Mugler gown, and fellow model ADWOA ABOAH kept things classic in a sleek pantsuit by Burberry. Natasha Silva-Jelly…

1 favorite fragrance 10 cartons of ice cream in the freezer 2 kids 7:00 A.M. On days when I’m not working, I wake up at 7. The first thing I do is change the baby’s diaper. My husband usually makes breakfast for our son, and I’ll go down and join them. I wouldn’t say I’m a morning person. If I didn’t have kids or didn’t have to go to work, I’d probably sleep till noon! But I do work and I do have kids, so I’m up and alert. I’m vegan, so I generally have a very clean diet; I usually have oatmeal or avocado toast in the morning. And Mother’s Milk tea because I’m breast-feeding. Normally I don’t have caffeine, but when I’m working I’ll drink coffee if I’m…

INSTANT UPDATE THE SUIT HOW TO WEAR Tailoring comes with a sporty twist this season, but the suit is still dressed up and ready to take you anywhere. Pair a chic white tee with white leather kicks, and add a layer of glamour with a gold watch and a luxe chain bag. INSTANT UPDATE LOGO MANIA HOW TO WEAR A renewed lust for everything ’80s has resulted in the return of logos and slogans emblazoned on shoes, bags, and tees.

Azzedine Alaïa surprised and delighted the fashion world with his triumphant comeback on the couture runway in Paris in July after a six-year hiatus. Bestowed with the honor of opening the show, Alaïa’s muse, supermodel Naomi Campbell (who also closed the show), made an equally rare appearance, wearing an embroidered black-and-white shearling coat, with her hair in a towering plastic-wrapped topknot.…

OBLIQUE OPULENCE ANNOUNCE your presence with bejeweled details and dramatic asymmetry. It’s all about achieving the perfect imbalance and luxurious touch. FIT FOR ROYALTY ONCE upon a time, velvet was restricted to royalty. Today, velvet’s sensuous texture adds lavish charm and decadent appeal to your look. WOW FACTOR THE SEASON’S all-star, outfit-making must-have is the statement earring. In exaggerated sizes, fun flair, and eye-catching colors, be prepared to turn heads. EDITOR’S PICK Deputy Beauty Director Anne-Marie Guarnieri shares the essential tool for an effortless blowout “It has a superfast motor, which not only saves you time but is also better for your hair. The less time you’re blasting it with heat, the healthier and shinier it will look.”…

2 morning dog walks 7 protein-shake ingredients 10 minutes of meditation 8:00 A.M. Since I got my puppy, Maverick, my morning starts with licks on the face and little claws on my neck. I literally run outside in my pajamas so she won’t pee in the house. 8:15 A.M. When I get back inside, I start my morning routine. If I have time, I steam. A steam shower was one of the main priorities when I renovated my house in Los Angeles. It’s a good time to meditate and take a few minutes to start the day off right. Afterward I cleanse my face and put on La Mer moisturizer, which I’ve been using for years now. I’m a minimalist in my day-to-day makeup if I don’t have an event.…

STEP ONE: MAKEUP For a foolproof finish, dot a stick foundation on your forehead, cheeks, and chin, and blend out with a foundation brush. Use your fingers to tap a creamy concealer onto any areas that need additional coverage. Brush up and set brows with clear brow gel. Then sweep a shimmery taupe shadow across your lids, and apply two coats of mascara to your lashes. Finish with a swipe of sheer pinky-nude lipstick and a dusting of luminous peach blush. STEP TWO: HAIR To get sexy height and piecey texture, start by washing with a volume-boosting shampoo. Work a generous amount of mousse throughout wet hair, then blow-dry sections using a round brush. Add easy, unfussy bends with a curling wand, loosening any too-tight curls by combing them out…

1 LATHER UP If dry shampoo is your go-to time-saver, we have some bad news: It does not actually clean your hair. Trichologist Anabel Kingsley, who studies the health of the hair and scalp, warns against infrequent shampooing—that is, fewer than every three days. It puts you at risk for scalp irritation, she says, which can cause hair loss, and product buildup will make hair look dull and heavy. Use a clarifying shampoo once every three or four weeks to completely remove excess oil and product residue. For the voluminous waves seen all over the fall runways, “women with fine hair may need to wash every day to get maximum lift,” advises celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh. 2 TRIM OFTEN Contrary to what you may think, skipping haircuts doesn’t always encourage…

1 SMOOTH SKIN Use your fingers to blend on a velvety matte foundation. “They won’t leave any streaks like a brush,” says Parsons. Then pat concealer on spots where you need extra coverage. 2 ELEGANT EYES Shimmery taupe and brown shades are universally flattering and make eyes look brighter. Sweep a darker shadow into your crease to create depth, then tap a sparkly hue on the center of your lid for a highlight. Finish with two coats of lengthening mascara. 3 DEFINED BROWS Powder formulas work especially well for filling in sparse brows. Rather than just sitting on the skin, “powder sticks to the hair and creates fullness,” explains Parsons. 4 FLAWLESS LIPS Long-lasting matte liquid lip color calls for preparation and precision. First, scrub your lips to get rid…

“I’m not in a rush to let people know everything about me. Mystery is always great.” THE WEEKND HATES GIVING INTERVIEWS. In the past, they’ve required the 27-year-old Canadian singersongwriter to make himself available backstage or at his condo, only to have his body language scrutinized and his hairstyle woven into elaborately clumsy metaphors. Before releasing Starboy, the hugely successful 2016 album that established the Weeknd as one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, he chopped off his famous dreadlocks and stashed them in his manager’s safe. But his new, softer coif, which plateaus ever so slightly above his forehead, still attracts annoying questions that he would prefer not to answer. Instead he offers a glimpse into his psyche by way of e-mail. Ask the press-shy cinephile about…

STRANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. Fall 2017 is a season of bizarre, gorgeously bonkers fashion. I dare you to toss convention out the window and join the new freakfest. There are many advantages to going strange. First and foremost, strange clothing is empowering. Nobody messes with a strange person. I regularly test this theory on the New York subway. Whenever I board the A train in a strange outfit—stripy socks with sandals, flowery man-blouses, straw sombreros, massive shades—I precipitate a flurry of elbow nudges and anxious side-eyes. Too terrified to make eye contact, my fellow travelers immediately revert to playing Ballz on their smartphones. Sometimes people even cover their children’s eyes. By dressing as if I am totally unhinged, I get total r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Another benefit: When you dress strangely, you…

THE VELVET HEEL has stepped back into the spotlight. Dip your toe into the trend with Ophelia, Giuseppe Zanotti’s shimmery new stiletto bootie with knot detail. PRESENTED BY GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI COACH’S PRAIRIE RIVETS ROGUE bag is a rebel at heart. Industrial-style details add a tough attitude, while the pebbled leather (in dark turquoise) makes for a soft touch. And there’s no missing the nod to the brand’s heritage with its retro-inspired luggage handles and horse-and-carriage-logo hangtag.

NOËLLE TOTA HARPER’S BAZAAR MERCHANDISING EDITOR Throwback alert: Some of the most decade-defining hairstyles feel so right now. My trick is to marry cues from the past with today’s most advanced technology (hint: This dryer is everything!). 2010s TEXTURED LOB The key to this style is that it should look a little undone. While you dry your hair, twist sections around your fingers to add volume and movement. 1980s POWER PONY In a word? Fierce.

AS AN INTELLIGENT, fashionliterate woman of style, you’ve moved beyond trends. Trends are the enemy of longevity; the death of individuality. Trends, as you have read repeatedly, are over, although you recognize that this may be a question of semantics. Switch the word “trends” for “updates” or “evolution” or “refreshers,” and trends start to seem not only relevant but vital. Also, you cannot help observing that without trends there is no momentum, no moving forward (even if sometimes the shift seems to be back to a previous era). So like a tech junkie hovering over her cell phone on a de-connectivity retreat or a Wall Street wolf prowling the Nasdaq, you find yourself scrolling through hundreds of runway images at the start of each season—just so you can reject them.…

The emphasis at the couture shows in Paris in July was on texture, rich embroidery (Valentino’s floral dress with train), and dramatic silhouettes (Versace’s pantsuit–cum–split dress), as the houses celebrated exquisite craftsmanship and the City of Light itself. Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld assembled a giant Eiffel Tower inside the Grand Palais and sent out a tiered ball gown inspired by the shape of the landmark structure, complete with frothy feathers (a trend that prevailed on many a runway). CODED CUFF This yellow-gold-andpavé- diamond bracelet from James Banks Design comes with its own combination lock. The brand, started by jewelry designers Heidi Nahser Fink and Adam Shulman, is out to reinterpret old classics. DESIGNER DECOR Gucci has ventured into decor, and there’s no mistaking creative director Alessandro Michele’s vivid use of color…

PERHAPS IT WON’T come as a shock when I reveal that Nina Dobrev—who starred in six seasons of the cult CW series The Vampire Diaries and plays a deathobsessed medical student in this month’s sci-fithriller Flatliners—doesn’t scare easily. Both onscreen and off-, the 28-year-old Bulgarian- Canadian actress exemplifies a fearless and indomitable millennial spirit. Whether she’s skydiving, swimming with sharks, or taking on our current political morass simply by speaking her mind, Nina doesn’t shy away from a challenge. And in true Bazaar fashion, she does it all with grace, humility, and impeccable personal style. I can’t wait for you to be as inspired by her as we are. Enjoy this latest edition of harper by Harper’s Bazaar, with special thanks to Sephora.…

At the Spotted Pig, the New York gastropub as celebrated for its famous patrons as for its char-grilled burger, the arrival of an actress best known for her work on the CW series The Vampire Diaries normally wouldn’t cause much of a stir. But when Nina Dobrev makes her entrance on a lovely evening in June, heads do turn—and not just because she is channeling Jackie Kennedy in an oversize pink coat by L.K. Bennett and Dior sunglasses. Dobrev’s canine companion, Maverick, an adorable and impeccably well-behaved border collie–Australian shepherd mix, is garnering her own fair share of attention. “I call her the world’s chillest dog,” Dobrev says as she settles into a corner booth with the puppy, who’s named, of course, after Tom Cruise’s character in Top Gun. She…

The glow shows up within 12 to 24 hours, Rowe claims, while the full effect can take up to 10 days to appear. Iam no stranger to skinsmoothing injectables, but the thought of someone repeatedly stamping a device with 20 Botoxfilled needles across my face has me terrified that I’ll end up more mummified than beautified. Nervous but intrigued, I head to the Upper East Side office of plastic surgeon Norman Rowe, M.D., for the Botox Facial, a new skin-rejuvenating technique that claims to build collagen, plump wrinkles, and dramatically increase (a much needed) glow with no downtime. Rather than injecting Botox deep into the facial muscles to smooth furrows, the traditional use of the muscle-paralyzing neurotoxin, Rowe combines smaller amounts with a personalized mix of vitamins and nutrients, then…

I love the innovative hobo shape and tonal color-blocking of J.W. Anderson’s most recent must-have.”…

In the spirit of creating more unforgettable memories in Bazaar’s history, I headed to Europe in May with American Express to embark on a series of designer conversations, shopping events, and book signings (for Amex Platinum Card members) to celebrate the unveiling of Harper’s Bazaar 150 Years: The Greatest Moments. First stop: London, where I chatted with the hilariously funny Victoria Beckham at her flagship store. Then it was on to the Victoria and Albert Museum for a dose of magazine nostalgia with U.K. Bazaar’s editor in chief, Justine Picardie. Next, we transformed the Armani boutique in Milan into a private runway show. Spotting the legendary Giorgio Armani through the shopwindow, one overwhelmed woman started crying and waving madly. Ever the gentleman, in mid-show the designer walked over and graciously…

AUDREY HEPBURN “To me, she encompasses all things beauty. She was very natural and yet very dramatic. Her charisma was part of her elegance.” ZOE SALDANA “A very sophisticated, classic beauty.” EMMA STONE “She has big, beautiful features, and she’s a trendsetter. She’ll be the first to wear an orange lip or a pantsuit instead of a dress. She’s a style and beauty icon.” LENA DUNHAM “The fact that she is so outspoken and passionate about everything she does is one of the most gorgeous things about her. She has an effortless essence, and she owns who she is.” CATE BLANCHETT “Cate’s look inspires me because of her dewy glow. I feel like the older she gets, the more graceful she becomes.”…

“I wanted to steam before the red carpet, so I went to a spa in Amsterdam. It was a coed, fully nude spa. It was interesting, to say the least.” “I was terribly sick that evening. Underneath all that makeup I looked like a ghost. That’s why we did a bright pink lip, to make me look more lively!” “This was the night I chopped off all my hair! I was ready for a big change. I think [hairstylist] Riawna [Capri] was more nervous than I was. When she got to my shoulders, she asked what I thought and I told her, ‘Keep going!’ ” “There were 95,000 pins in my hair for this look. You’d never know because they were hidden so well, but when I got home it…

THE NEW SMOKY EYE Jewel-toned shadows and pops of shimmer are “sophisticated but rebellious,” says makeup artist Tom Pecheux, who created the looks at Alberta Ferretti, Elie Saab, and Brandon Maxwell. Pecheux likes royal blue, plum, and green, or a touch of sparkle: “It catches the light and makes everything around you glamorous.” HIGH-IMPACT LIPS A swipe of red, berry, or pinky-beige enlivens your face—without the need for much additional makeup. Pair it with defined eyelashes (La Perla), brushed-up brows (Fendi), or nude skin (Jason Wu), and the effect is luxurious, not austere. Apply straight from the tube for a softer shape, or use liner for more definition.…

EASY NUDES “A NUDE LIP COLOR should look natural but also enhance your lips,” says Maybelline New York Global Makeup Artist Erin Parsons. Find your ideal shade by taking note of your skin’s undertones. Women with yellow undertones look best in beige-toned nudes, but those colors can wash out cooler complexions. If your skin is generally more rosy than tan, opt for a nude lip shade with a touch of pink. For an easy, monochromatic look, match your eye shadow to your lip color. SEXY REDS THERE’S NO MORE alluring makeup staple than this classic. “A bold red lip works well with clean skin, soft lashes, and groomed brows,” notes Parsons. Orange reds are typically recommended for those with darker skin tones, and blue-based magenta reds for those who are…

We didn’t have anything to lose and didn’t care what people thought. Mario and I were young and we were in love.” Since being discovered at New York’s JFK airport at 14, Kate Moss has been a muse to many—from Lucian Freud, Chuck Close, and Banksy to Edina and Patsy on Absolutely Fabulous. Let’s just say that like Helen of Troy with her ships, hers is the face that launched countless careers, exhibitions, fashion lines, and at least one 18-karatgold, 110-pound statue that we know of. (It’s called Siren, and it’s by the British artist Marc Quinn.) The photographs accompanying this article were taken by yet another creative inspired by the 43-year-old British beauty. That would be her current boyfriend, the 30-yearold socialite and photographer Count Nikolai von Bismarck. The…

While we cannot change our DNA, we can change our diet and exercise habits to make the most of our genetic makeup. In sports, I have always characterized myself as a grinder, someone with limited skills and almost no natural talent. Unlike genetically gifted athletes, I’m the one who shoulders through, mile after mile, set after set, lap after lap, calling not upon my talents but on grim determination. In a poignant moment, my husband—after watching me playing a long, undistinguished tennis match—remarked, “Wow. You try so hard.” And it turns out, this is genetic. Our biology is, to some degree, our destiny, as Freud famously remarked. Genes in our cells tell us whether we are born to sprint to the finish or grind through. With the exception of identical…
