THERE TRULY IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT, but one of the great challenges of life in 2023 seems to be finding ways to actually be present—wholly and fully immersed in the moment. And this is quite a moment we’re in right now. We’re no longer living in the past; that much is evident. But it also often feels as if we haven’t quite reached the future. Crucial new doors are being opened, but others always seem to be closing. One day can appear to be the dawn of a new era, then the next seems like an unsettling return to old, antiquated ways. The world feels smaller but also more divided. We’re dreaming and reckoning. Things begin and end. We’re forced to start over—again. Some people get tired. Some…

“When something is ICONIC, it’s RECOGNIZABLE to people who don’t have detailed knowledge of it,” says SAMPHA. “It TRANSCENDS a generational BOUNDARY or the BORDERS of a discipline.” This fall, the British singer, songwriter, and producer, known for his wildly original cross-pollination of genres, will release Lahai, his first solo project since 2017’s Process, featuring a mix of West African folk, jungle, classical, and soul music. “During Covid, I interrogated spirituality, transcendence, and immanence and what they mean to me,” he says, “so this album connects the dots between my past, future, and present.” Since dropping his debut EP, Sundanza, in 2010, Sampha has been tapped by the likes of Sbtrkt, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake to work his singular magic on their tracks. “I enjoy being of service when I…

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE that this time a year ago, pink was fashion’s favorite color. It was widely available in a robust spectrum, from the dusty rose of millennial pink to the saturated fuchsia of Valentino’s Pink PP. Barbiecore was going strong; with the film starring Margot Robbie as the beloved fashion doll with a signature hot-pink hue expected to be a blockbuster the following summer, trend forecasters at the Pantone Color Institute anointed a bright pinkish-purple called Viva Magenta the 2023 Color of the Year. Fast-forward to the Barbie world premiere in July, when Robbie posed for pictures on a pink carpet, in front of a pink Corvette convertible, but wearing a black custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture bustier dress that was fully embroidered with sequins and finished with layers…

Blame The White Lotus. This summer, Sicily was overwhelmed with tourists. Legendary beach-club destinations like Capri and Mykonos are typically elbow to elbow in July and August, but since Covid-related travel restrictions were lifted, they have been especially packed—despite the record high temperatures. This explains why savvy travelers are not only planning trips to the Mediterranean islands in September and October, they are also venturing further afield. “Autumn is my favorite time,” says French architect Marie Rivalant-Lazarakis, owner of two intimate properties on the quiet Greek isle of Kastellorizo, part of the Dodecanese archipelago. Mediterraneo, a lemon-yellow guest house, is named for the 1991 Oscar-winning film that was shot there. Last summer, Rivalant-Lazarakis partnered with two friends, Grégoire Du Pasquier, also an architect, and Luc Lejeune, an interior designer, to…

“I LOVE really HARD, and I love without APOLOGY.”KENDALL JENNER MODEL Kendall Jenner is a Scorpio. And it’s with typical Scorpio reserve that Jenner and I don’t discuss that fact until nearly the end of our time together. But the qualities ascribed to the sign weave throughout our conversation. Jenner speaks often of change and evolution. “I feel like I am coming into my womanhood,” she tells me, “and having so many strong women around me has helped shape my sense of worth.” Jenner, 27, is in a starkly white room with shelves full of art books and novels behind her. She’s dressed casually in a black tank, her hair pulled back, her skin dewy. She looks as if she’s just come from a hike or a trip to the…

Earlier this year, my 2010 essay collection, Create Dangerously, was adapted for the stage and performed in Miami, where I live. Like the book, the play honors artists, particularly writers who have risked their lives to write their books—as well as the readers who have risked their lives to read them. It’s a legacy I know well, having grown up first in Haiti, then in the United States among Haitian expatriates. My friend Régine Chassagne, a singer from the indie rock group Arcade Fire, and I recently talked about how during the brutal Duvalier dictatorship in 1963 Haiti, her grandfather, the Haitian poet Roland Chassagne, was arrested at a Port-au-Prince publishing house for sharing “contraband literature.” He was taken to François “Papa Doc” Duvalier’s notorious prison dungeon, Fort Dimanche, and…

Since the late 1990s, we’ve been in the era of “prestige television,” so named for the number of highly acclaimed, internationally successful TV shows created during this time. From The Sopranos to Breaking Bad to Game of Thrones, the period has been defined by long-running series that dominate in viewership, critical reception, and award wins. But now, in a moment when there are more streaming platforms than ever and, subsequently, an onslaught of shows, viewers are faced with an excess of choice in an oversaturated market. The Bear, Yellowjackets, and Bad Sisters, all Emmys contenders this year, have managed to stand out from the rest for the exquisite tone they have been able to strike, somewhere between comedy and drama, as they capture the tensions, farces, and struggles of modern…

I CARE A LOTTA, I WEAR COLLINA STRADA One part photo collage, one part manifesto, New York designer Hillary Taymour’s new book explores her use of rainbow dresses made of rosebushes and rhinestone-studded water bottles as vehicles for environmental advocacy. (Rizzoli) “ANN LOWE: AMERICAN COUTURIER” Opening September 9 at Delaware’s Winterthur Museum, this exhibition charts the groundbreaking work of Lowe, a designer born in the Jim Crow South, who created Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress and the hand-painted floral gown Olivia de Havilland wore to accept her Oscar in 1947. SKY HIGH X SN Harper’s Bazaar editor in chief Samira Nasr designed a six-piece capsule for Sky High Farm Workwear, which supports artist Dan Colen’s food-security nonprofit, Sky High Farm, in New York’s Hudson Valley. Proceeds from the collection—which includes a…

For the past 23 years, Megan, 52, an on-air TV correspondent in New York City, has entrusted her skin to dermatologist Macrene Alexiades. She credits Alexiades with everything from “curing” her acne to preserving her youthfulness throughout their relationship with shots of neurotoxins and the occasional light peel. “I don’t try every treatment that’s trending,” Megan says. So when Alexiades invited her to join Allergan’s clinical trial for a new hyaluronic-acid microdroplet injectable promising to smooth and hydrate skin, Megan was all in. The filler she tested—Skinvive by Juvéderm—received FDA approval in May and will be rolling out to doctors’ offices by the end of 2023. Described as an injectable moisturizer, “it’s the first to target the dermis and improve skin quality,” says Alexiades, an Allergan consultant and the lead…

It has been said that WE LIVE in an ATTENTION ECONOMY, where POWER and INFLUENCE are often determined by what GRABS and ARRESTS us most fully, whether it’s a 30-second TIKTOK video, a stirring PERFORMANCE, a transporting PIECE of WRITING, or a call for JUSTICE. That’s why where we choose to INVEST our ATTENTION is so vitally IMPORTANT. The individuals in this year’s ICONS portfolio are people who COMMAND it. They CAPTIVATE us, CONNECT us, ENTERTAIN us, MOVE us, stoke our OBSESSION, and INSPIRE us with the URGENCY they bring to their WORK. They not only speak to this MOMENT, they are also helping to DEFINE it and GIVE it MEANING. They’ve each made their MARKS—and some of them might be MAKING HISTORY. But most IMPORTANTLY, they all understand what…

Paul Mescal is showing me his short shorts. From his hotel room in Morocco, where he’s currently filming Gladiator 2, Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated sequel to his 2000 Oscar-winning film, the 27-year-old Irish actor indulges me when I ask if he’s got a favorite pair. “This is thrilling to me,” he says. “I love it. Where’s my favorite pair?” he asks, nearly knocking over his chair to find them. “I don’t know how I would go about my summer if I didn’t have these. I don’t do well in the heat,” he says, holding up a black pair with three white stripes down each side. They’re O’Neills, an Irish brand of Gaelic football shorts, he tells me. During his recent West End run in A Streetcar Named Desire, fans lined…

Maximilian Davis was in a music video. I learned this while talking to the singer Kelela, a friend of his, about the period when they first met several years ago outside of an East London club night called PDA, which was a gathering place for kids from fashion and art school looking to let loose in a sea of their own. It was 2017, and at the time, Davis, who is now creative director at Ferragamo, was one of them. He had just graduated from the London College of Fashion and had a job as a junior designer with Grace Wales Bonner, whom he’d gotten to know while they both worked at Selfridges department store. He’d moved to London four years earlier from Manchester, where he grew up in a…

“NO ONE has ever been able to TAKE AWAY our folks’ JOY. I find TALKING about the RIDICULOUSNESS of the BANS sometimes BRINGS LAUGHTER, in the ways our people have learned to LAUGH to keep from CRYING. We do what we need to do: WE RESIST, WE INFORM, WE AMPLIFY, WE WRITE.”JACQUELINE WOODSON JACQUELINE WOODSON is the author of nearly 40 chapter books, picture books, and novels for young and adult readers. Her 2018 illustrated exploration of diversity in schools, The Day You Begin, and her 2014 YA memoir in verse about growing up in the 1960s and ’70s, Brown Girl Dreaming, are just some of her titles that have been subject to bans in Texas and Florida. “When I heard my book was banned, I felt HOPEFUL? PROUD? The…

AUGUST 2004 “LICK YOUR LIPS and toss your hair back” was the style advice that Jane Birkin recalled her former partner Serge Gainsbourg giving her in an interview last year with Harper’s Bazaar. But Birkin never really needed much help in that particular area. The British-born singer and actress, who passed away in July at the age of 76, embodied the term icon in a way few ever do. She came of age in the Swinging London of the 1960s, then, following a brief marriage to composer John Barry, decamped in 1968 for Paris, where she met French singer and songwriter Gainsbourg on the set of the film Slogan. Their 12-year relationship, both romantic and creative, would include collaborations on cheeky duets like “Je t’aime … moi non plus,” which…

One of the things I’ve come to really value about putting together our annual Icons issue is that it gives us an opportunity to think about what inspires us in the moment. What struck me most about the subjects in this year’s portfolio, photographed by Mario Sorrenti, is how many of them are outliers. They are people who have each found a way to break into the mainstream current of their respective fields, but they have each also altered or redirected that current in a way that has transformed it for all those who come after them. Our cover subjects are all prime examples. A decade into a career that’s seen her rise to the apex of the industry, Kendall Jenner has redefined what it means to be a supermodel…

A cluster of colossal white camellias sprouted from the center of Chanel’s Fall 2023 runway this past March at Paris’s Grand Palais Éphémère. Considered a symbol of friendship, elegance, and harmony, the winter flower has also been a hallmark of the house of Chanel for a century, ever since founder Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel first pinned a white fabric camellia on a dress in 1923. The bloom has played a role in almost every Chanel collection since then and can often be spotted adding a whimsical touch to a lapel in the form of a handcrafted pin. To mark the 100th anniversary of the camellia’s introduction, Chanel’s current artistic director, Virginie Viard, transformed her fall collection into a veritable hothouse, with camellias blossoming all over tweed jackets, delicately embroidered onto pockets,…

Iwas born and grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, New York. I loved every second of my childhood. It was nice to be a latchkey kid; I was on my own a lot. I lived with my mother and grandmother until I was 12, and then I went to live with my father. He was such a true intellectual and Islamic imam. I was a successful child tap dancer and ran track for the Police Athletic League, but before my last year of junior high school, I decided to walk away from the High School of Performing Arts and go to George W. Wingate High School, which was predominantly white. It was only three years old and designed in such a unique way that I thought it was a calling.…

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, thousands of new beauty products have landed on store shelves, promising groundbreaking results—but only a handful have earned icon status. Here are some of our favorites across skincare, hair care, makeup, and fragrance. SKIN REINVENTED STAPLES Pavise Dynamic Age Defense SPF (1; $148) sunscreen targets not just UV rays and blue light but also havoc-wreaking reactive oxygen species, a type of molecule that further damages cells and DNA. Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Skin Enhancing Treatment Cleanser (2; $49) is powered by saponins, plant-derived soaplike cleansing agents that date back to ancient Rome. It also doubles as a hydrating mask. (One use can increase moisture levels by 73 percent.) Tower 28 reimagined its cult-favorite SOS calming spray as the moisturizing SOS Daily Barrier Recovery Cream (6;…

There’s a case to be made that it was during the pandemic that the internet finally subsumed us—which is precisely when Amala Dlamini, a.k.a. Doja Cat, became a global pop star. Dlamini, 27, was born in Los Angeles and spent time as a child with her mother at an ashram led by jazz musician Alice Coltrane. But she is also a member of the connected generation whose creative DNA is defined not by a record collection as much as by a swirling torrent of songs, sounds, clips, and memes. She has been releasing music for more than a decade, but her mainstream breakthrough came in late 2019 with “Say So,” a masterful mash-up of disco, hip-hop, and funk vibes that became a left-field sensation on the eve of lockdown, inspiring…

In my memory, my elementary school was small and standard for a poorer, rural Mississippi town. The brick was the color of an old scab. There were three buildings: an auditorium with classrooms, a newer structure with squat ceilings and cinder-block walls, and an ancient cafeteria that had been there since my mother’s time. She was one of the first Black students to attend the school when it was integrated in the ’60s. I’d imagine 20 years later, as I ate my packed lunch in the cafeteria, that slant-walled building looked much the same as it did back then: all peeling, sun-bleached wood, with box fans going strong in the windows because it had no central air or heat. Even though it was old and dingy, I loved my school.…
