Table of contents for June- July 2015 in Harper's Bazaar

Can you feel the heat? We may be in the thick of summer, but we’ve already got our gaze set on fall. In Runway Report, we preview the looks that are going to define the season (page 186). Elsewhere, photographer Terry Richardson and Bazaar’s style director, Joanna Hillman—on location at New York’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum—give us their take on uniform dressing (page 166). We also have the latest It bag that the chic set will be lining up for (page 62), as well as a raft of beauty secrets to keep you looking and feeling cool through the warmer months (page 133).…

You guys always seem to have your finger on the pulse of what’s new, exciting, and surprising in fashion. How do you approach the creative parts of your job? HUMBERTO LEON: We always try to tell a story through what we do and to approach everything both as the viewer and as the consumer. Culture is a big part of what we do, and we always refer back to it. We’re inspired by all kinds of things—food, art, film, movies, TV—all the stuff we love, whether it’s an older movie like Coming to America or a new show like Transparent. We like to explore. CAROL LIM: I think for us it always starts from a personal place. Now that we each have our own families, our kids have become part…

SCHOOL OF ROCK When it comes to musicians, I constantly find myself with a chicken-and-egg dilemma: Which did I like first, their songs or their style? Take KATY PERRY, who surprised at a screening of her Prismatic concert film in a Balenciaga dress that was in equal measure Goth, S&M, and urban sophisticate— no LED lights or pink pinwheels here. Speaking of bright things, all eyes were on FKA TWIGS at the opening of the “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” exhibition in Lon don, where she performed in the late designer’s iconic bird-of-paradise gown. And it’s since been revealed that she’s engaged to Robert Pattinson. (Sorry, Twi-hards.) Then there’s FLORENCE WELCH, who looks and sounds every bit the ’60s soul crooner. I loved the pink Chanel leisure suit she wore to…

A GOLDEN TAN can wipe years of your complexion and trim inches from your waistline. But if you want to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun (i.e., wrinkles, brown spots, or, worse, skin cancer), the only safe glow is one that comes from a bottle. Good news for all of you self-tanning skeptics: “The technology has changed dramatically,” says Sophie Evans, St. Tropez’s celebrity tanning expert. Gone are the days of smelling like an old sock for eight hours until your color develops. New tanning formulations dry quickly, show up instantly, and can be washed off in as little as an hour. DON’T SKIP THE PREP The proper tools are crucial for long-lasting results. Whether you’re self-tanning your face or body, you must exfoliate first. FOR FACE…

FROM THE SCOOP-NECK tops at tom Ford and Givenchy to the sheer dresses at Valentino and Rodarte to the high-slit skirts at Altuzarra and Anthony Vaccarello, designers ramped up the sex appeal for Fall 2015. skin-, shape-, and body-baring looks were all over the runways. But while clothes that reveal more than just a chic sense of style can radiate fabulousness on the catwalk, they’re often not so easy to pull off in real life if you’re not Rihanna or Miley Cyrus. Fortunately, there are ways of navigating some of the season’s riskier propositions. the right undergarment not only offers coverage but also helps define the silhouette and provides support. “Lingerie is all about enhancing the look without adding any distraction to it,” says Suzy Biszantz, CEO of La Perla…

GRAPHIC IMPACT Designers indulged their artistic nature this season with strong geometric prints and unconventional color-blocking. Jonathan Anderson at Loewe and Christopher Kane embraced allover madcap patterns, while Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier and Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing walked the line with clashing colors on their tunics, tops, and pants.…

The revolutionary period that preceded the chic ’70s is having a moment too, as wild prints, micro-minis, and sheaths all make a return. Look for high-contrast pieces in black-and-white, like Emilio Pucci’s swirls or Calvin Klein’s minimalist minidress. Or take things up a notch with a not-so-mellow acid yellow. BLOCK PARTY Between block heels and color-blocking, there’s clearly something modish in the air. Opt for stacked shoes in varying heights (tall at Prada, a step lower at Bottega Veneta) and wide-striped bags like this one from Valentino.…

BEST BLOW-DRY “Voluminous hair is always on trend,” says hairstylist Nicolas Eldin, who created this look on model Hilary Rhoda. “It’s classic, and it always looks chic and feminine,” he adds. Start your style in the shower by giving limp tresses a boost with Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo and Conditioner ($30 each). “Make sure to rinse out the conditioner well; otherwise you risk weighing your hair down,” Eldin warns. Next, prep for your blow-dry by dividing hair into sections and applying Nexxus volumizing foam mousse from roots to tips. Using a round brush, dry each section in an upward motion away from your face, advises Eldin. We like Rusk’s powerful dryer. EXPERT TIP To achieve maximum volume, flip your head upside down while spritzing on hair spray, says Eldin.…

From seven o’clock to 8:15, it’s all about him. I make him oatmeal with rice milk and fruit or toasted Poilâne bread with Nutella—that’s the more decadent extreme. I just have oatmeal and water with fresh ginger. It helps me stay healthy. I have Birman cats—two “Choupettes”—that my father gave to my son. The cats are lovely, a brother and sister named Gaston and Gastine, only they love leather, so they attack my bags and my shoes. They bite them like a toy, like catnip, and they attack fur and feathers. We brush…

HOW TO WEAR COLOR NOW Rust? Tangerine? Kelly green? Mustard? Lilac? Making sense of the season’s new hues. By Lisa Armstrong WHEN MICHAEL KORS, who knows everything about style, says that your beloved white-shirt-and-black-pants ensemble makes you look like a waiter, as he once told me when we met in Madrid (where they really know how to supercharge their classic style through color), it’s time to reevaluate some things. and for the foreseeable future, every time you see a white shirt and black pants you’ll wonder, how much should i tip? so thank you, fall, because if this season’s runways are any indication, color is everywhere: yellows, reds, pastels—and a whole bunch of hitherto unheard-of shades. Miuccia Prada set the pace with the most astonishing combinations (a coral bag with…

Director’s cut. Dress and shoes, Boss. FASHION EDITOR: Joanna Hillman They’re here for her,” says designer Jason Wu of the cluster of paparazzi that’s begun to form around our Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot in Manhattan’s West Village. The “her” in question is model Hilary Rhoda, who at 5-foot-11 (plus heels) towers over Wu in a metal-embroidered dress from his Fall 2015 collection for Boss, Hugo Boss’s premium line. Even today, dressed in a tuxedo, Wu, who was named artistic director of Boss womenswear in 2013, doesn’t look all that different than he did eight years ago, when he dropped out of fashion school at Parsons to start his namesake company. But his youthful appearance belies all he has accomplished: At the age of 32, Wu has already established himself as…

Wanderlust-y maxidresses in opulent fabrics (courtesy of Lanvin, Chloé, and Burberry) had us flashing back to the 1970s. Try a long-sleeved, floor-skimming version, and if so inclined, wear it with a gilded, fur-embellished scarf and jacket. SKIN-DEEP Etro, Chloé, and Ferragamo gave patchwork a sophisticated makeover with bags that traded in exotic skins, like crocodile, lizard, and snake, often with a healthy shot of suede or leather. And mixed earth tones are a must for fall.…

Straddle the line between edgy and glam with generous helpings of leather, leopard, grommets, and fishnets. Take a cue from the Debbie Harry doppelgängers at Saint Laurent by layering patterns with red, or go for the bold with looks like Proenza Schouler’s sheer plumed number.…

With her saucer-shaped eyes and lithe dancer’s bearing, Audrey Hepburn bewitched many of the 20th century’s boldest photographers. Among them was Cecil Beaton, who frequently shot for Bazaar. In this picture, published in the April 1964 issue, Hepburn wears an Edwardian costume on the set of one of her best-known films, My Fair Lady, for which Beaton himself designed her Oscar-winning wardrobe. Beaton’s images of the actress will be on view, along with those by photographers like Richard Avedon and Norman Parkinson as well as rarely seen family albums, in the exhibition “Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon,” at London’s National Portrait Gallery, starting in July. Audrey Hepburn, the fairest lady at the Ascot races, 1963, photograph by Cecil Beaton…

I’M ALWAYS EXCITED to see beautiful clothes, but the Fall 2015 collections were a special thrill. The world’s wildest color combinations at Prada, Chloé’s bohemian rhapsody, Erdem’s staggeringly lovely dresses, and Altuzarra’s sultry swans were all highlights, and Proenza Schouler’s fine-feathered finale gowns made for a masterful crescendo. And don’t get me started on Valentino. The collection, which was inspired in part by Gustav Klimt companion Emilie Flöge, was artfully breathtaking in more ways than one. Just when I thought I couldn’t get any closer to fashion heaven, out they came: Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson stomping down the runway in an announcement of their long-awaited Zoolander sequel. To paraphrase Carmel Snow, it was truly good taste with a dash of daring—but this time with a dash of humor as…

One of the many reasons Loewe’s new creative director, Jonathan Anderson, is the fashion designer of the moment? He knows how to marry the modern with sly nods to the past. Case in point: Anderson’s Barcelona bag for Loewe. A structured, fold-over shoulder-style beauty, it’s finished in golden caramel and rich brown and features a triangular closure that pays homage to the house’s archives. Here’s to the latest It bag.…

“I went back to Richard’s studio and persuaded him to burn the negative, which he did —in front of me.” JANE FONDA IS LOOKING at a portrait Richard avedon took of her for the september 1960 issue of Bazaar, her young, gold-dusted face punctuated by a whimsical beauty mark painted on just above her cheekbone. With a throaty laugh, she recalls posing for another shot during the same session that never made it into the magazine—one that rattled her so much, she had the picture burned. “I remember being photographed naked by avedon and then going home and becoming terrified that my father would get angry,” Fonda says. “The next day I went back to Richard’s studio and persuaded him to burn the negative, which he did—in front of me.”…

From easy styling tricks to product must-haves that ward off damage and keep hair healthy-looking, the pros share how to take your hair to great lengths. 1 USE A HYDRATING HAIR MASK WEEKLY A rinse-out conditioner adds moisture to hair but may not be enough to allow it to withstand constant styling and heat damage. Also, frequent coloring leaves hair dry, brittle, and in need of extra nourishment. “Applying a hair treatment that contains hydrating ingredients to help maintain as well as restore hair’s internal structure and elasticity will prevent breakage so that hair can grow,” says Kevin Mancuso, creative director at Nexxus New York Salon Care, who recommends allowing a mask to soak into hair for three to five minutes before rinsing. 2 SEAL SPLIT ENDS To grow hair…

WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE’S INEVITABLE OBSTACLES, there are death, taxes, and, for so many of us, a cruel third: frizz. The cause of the mess? The fragile hair cuticle, the outermost part of the hair shaft. Frizz occurs when the thousands of little shingles that make up the cuticle layer are lifted and in disarray. “This happens when your hair is damaged and dry but also when it’s especially humid outside, when moisture is absorbed and swells your strands,” explains Tim Rogers, creative director of Living Proof and a stylist at Sally Hershberger salon in New York. As a result, the shingles lift, and your hair appears frizzy instead of smooth and defined. Here, the recipe for control. IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOUR CUT Keep your eye on the…

TASSEL UP Fringe’s kid sister is ready to steal the spotlight this season. More is more with pieces like Lanvin’s substantial Moroccan-inspired necklace and earrings, but even a touch of tassel does the trick, as with Altuzarra’s and Chloé’s discreetly accented handbags…

BORDEAUX POUTS Rouge lips get richer this season. Pick a formula with a matte or satin finish, since anything too shiny can look clownish. experimenting with red for the first time? ease into it with a sheer pencil. LUXE LINER makeup artists proved that liquid liner can be both edgy and elegant. try Covergirl bombshell intensity Liner in Pitch black Passion ($7.99). TOUSLED WAVES Spring’s rumpled tresses return for fall. Part your hair in the middle, then, starting at the cheekbones, use a curling rod to add loose waves. Finish with Garnier Fructis De-Constructed Texture Tease spray ($4.29). THE NEW TWISTS the uptight French twist underwent a high-fashion update courtesy of hairstylist Sam mcknight.
