Table of contents for November 2017 in Harper's Bazaar

Look for the icon next to an item in Harper’s BAZAAR: It means the item is available to buy on ShopBAZAAR.com—the online store brought to you by our editors. We’ve partnered with the best specialty boutiques and most coveted designers to present the must-have fashion edit of the season, in a shopping destination that’s open around the clock and around the world.…

America’s first fashion magazine debuted on November 2, 1867, with a mission to provide style-conscious women with the latest “fashion, pleasure, and instruction.” A century and a half later, Harper’s Bazaar’s essential DNA remains mostly unchanged. Our founding editor, Mary Louise Booth, who, incidentally spoke seven languages, was also an early champion of equal rights for women. It was with her pioneering spirit in mind that we invited Angelina Jolie to grace the cover of our special 150th-anniversary issue (complete with a glittering gold logo for select editions, courtesy of our friends at Cartier). For me, Angelina embodies the hallmarks of Bazaar and the iconoclastic women we have celebrated throughout our history. In her roles as a conservationist and human rights activist, she has devoted her life to making the…

FASHION OLYMPICS Models went for the gold (and silver and bronze) at our rock-’n’-roll-themed Bazaar Icons party at the Plaza hotel during New York Fashion Week. HILARY RHODA channeled Grace Kelly in a gold lamé Markarian sheath, while HAILEY BALDWIN mixed metals in shimmering KaufmanFranco. Cindy’s Crawford’s super spawn KAIA GERBER (fresh off her runway debut at Calvin Klein the day prior) came ready for battle in an armor-inspired Aadnevik minidress. Not to be outdone, BARBARA FIALHO entered the Grecian games in an Alexandrine by Rapha Mendonca goddess gown, and GEORGIA FOWLER made a crystal-clear statement in prismatic Ralph & Russo. Everyone walked away a winner.…

I WORE THIS John Galliano for Dior dress on the January 1995 cover of Harper’s Bazaar. The cover was shot by Patrick Demarchelier at his studio in New York, and we pretty much replicated the look from the Galliano show in Paris but without the veil. At the time I was modeling fulltime, living between L.A. and New York, and traveling a lot to Europe, so it was hectic. But I loved my life—loved it. I absolutely adored my job, and I’ve always said that it’s a dream to do what I do for a living. I don’t remember that much from back then; everything is fuzzy. The best person to speak to about those days is Naomi [Campbell]. She remembers everything right down to the detail. Call her. But…

I grew up in a quiet Connecticut suburb. In Greenwich, being called “glamorous” or “ambitious” was an insult. Obviously I left the first chance I got. A start-up is a lot like raising a child. Like a newborn, they are needy and demanding and ungrateful. You’re running on little sleep, and everyone wants to offer their advice and tips. Today I feel like I just sent my child, Moda, off to the top college in the country. She’s surrounded by the greatest professors in the world and spreading her wings, and she only calls her mother when she needs something. At Moda, we installed a captain’s bell. We would ring it whenever we broke a new record—biggest sale, most traffic, closing a funding round, landing a big designer. One day…

“I can’t help but love the combination of two of my favorite colors—black and gold. Plus, the caviar beading adds texture, intrigue, and substance to each piece.”…

LIANA CLOTHING Good taste runs in the family of founder Lili Chemla: Her older sister, Alison Chemla, is the mastermind behind emoji jewelry line Alison Lou. Liana Clothing has a similarly playful take on elevated basics— think glitter-specked turtlenecks and T-shirts with fur-trimmed pockets. LPA With its floral jacquard pantsuits and PVC capris, this new label is like the clothing version of L.A. lunchtime mainstay Joan’s on Third: haute as hell but totally chill. Designer Pia Arrobio put in time at ur L.A.-cool-girl brand Reformation in her mid-20s, and those hours paid off. Her starstudded fan base includes Gigi Hadid and Lena Dunham. TESSA Designer Tessa Matthias is too cool for 2017, and way too cool for fussy fashion. Resplendent with NASA-inspired imagery and space-age metallics, her futuristic loungewear reimagines…

FUTURE’S SO BRIGHT… You’ll have to wear shades. Fortunately, Safilo—the company behind the latest eyewear from Céline and Dior—has new smartglasses with sensors that detect brain waves to help you meditate and improve mental focus. GOING GREENER Gabriela Hearst is redefining what it means to be “fashion conscious.” Her Resort 2018 collection features beautiful suiting made with Loro Piana dead stock, eliminating the carbon footprint of ordering and making new fabric. She will also be partnering with Tipa, a revolutionary brand of compostable bioplastic, for all of her packaging. NATURAL WONDERS Marvel at Modern Meadow’s Zoa biofabricated leather tee (left), part of the “Items: Is Fashion Modern?” exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. (It’s “grown” from collagen.) Salvatore Ferragamo has also collaborated on Orange Fiber fabric with Miroslava…

Here, she shares her fantasy itinerary for a selfie-free vacation by the pool in Palm Springs. IF I HAD A DAY OFF, I’d go away for the weekend. I’m everywhere lately, and I don’t often get two days off, but it’s not impossible. Not somewhere too far, but if I was in L.A. I’d probably run off to Palm Springs and get an Airbnb, something quiet and private with a nice pool. I like to swim and lay out, and I’m a weirdo, so I’d just go get groceries for the house and hang around with my homies. I’d bring anyone that I love. Anyone that’s down for the journey. Not just one because I think that would get boring, but a couple good people. If it gets to be…

RED LIPS always look modern. There’s a reason they’ve been the signature of some of history’s most intriguing women, from Cleopatra to Marilyn Monroe to Madonna. “Red lips can feel seductive and rebellious at the same time,” says Nars pro makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. “There’s an ownership that women have over themselves when they wear it.” Find your perfect shade: It’s quite easy, says makeup artist Nick Barose. “If you’re fair, go for a cherry red; if you’re more medium, pick something more orangey,” he says. “And if you have a darker skin tone, it should be something more berry and deep.” Color that lasts: Use a lip liner for a more defined shape, but be careful to stick to your natural lip line— overdrawing your lips is a no-no.…

THIS FALL, “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez— Louis Vuitton,” a landmark exhibition opens at the former American Stock Exchange building in downtown Manhattan. Curated by Olivier Saillard and designed by Robert Carsen, it explores the history of the French house—which made its American debut in 1893, when its trunks traveled to Chicago to be exhibited at the World’s Fair—through a series of themed rooms, including one devoted to the U.S. and New York, and begins with LV’s most symbolic object: the trunk. The legacy of Louis Vuitton—one of the most revered and recognized luxury brands in the world—however, harks back to 1854, when a talented young craftsman by the same name set up his own atelier in Paris, making custom boxes and trunks for the French upper classes. The introduction of revolutionary…

ART AND FASHION can be fickle bedfellows, but at Louis Vuitton their chemistry remains electric and sustained. For Marc Jacobs, then the house’s artistic director, integrating the two spheres was seamless. Already close friends with art luminaries like John Currin, Rachel Feinstein, and Elizabeth Peyton, and having achieved astronomical success with his initial collaboration with Stephen Sprouse in 2001 (pieces from the Sprouse collection are showcased in the “Louis Vuitton Loves America” room of “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez”), Jacobs stepped outside his clique for his second partnership, contacting the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami after encountering his work. Unveiled for Spring 2003, the colorful, pop-inflected results were an overnight sensation, and It bags bearing Murakami’s unmistakable prints soon dangled from the elbow of any and every woman who could get her hands…

Smart. Functional. Playful. This TUMI crossbody is the bag upgrade you need to revamp both your on-duty and off -duty style. With its rich burgundy hue, compact size, and classic polished hardware, you’ll carry this from 9-to-5 and beyond.

Much like its namesake, Lady Di, the top-handle Lady Dior bag is a trailblazing style icon and patron of the arts. This year’s Dior Lady Art project features special editions created by 10 global talents, including the American poet and performance artist John Giorno and the Guinean photographer Namsa Leuba. Our favorite: This mirrored bag, designed by the Korean installation artist Lee Bul.…

“Going from a high-fl ying corporate job with suits and stilettos to being a chef and entrepreneur in denim and boots, I’ve always selected my clothes to match my lifestyle.” ADRIA WU, CHEF & LE CORDON BLEU LONDON ALUMNA…

I started modeling at 15 and thought by 18 I would be done. For 45 years, I had a private practice as a dietitian and modeled occasionally. Now modeling has taken over. Who would have thought that at 69 I would become a CoverGirl? I always carry my house keys, an emery board, natural lipstick, tissues, hand lotion, and my Tesla fob. The first time I visited L.A., my children and I were having dinner, and my daughter, Tosca, said, “Mom’s thinking of moving to L.A.” My son Elon said, “I’ll get you a Tesla!” Of course, then I had to move because a fabulous car would make driving in L.A. a pleasure instead of a chore. My personal style icons are Diane von Furstenberg and Linda Fargo. For strength…

Though Harper’s Bazaar was born in New York, it shares a lot of history with Los Angeles, which has been a backdrop, a subject, and an inspiration for a remarkable array of our stories over the past 150 years. We have also inspired each other: In one of our most famous cross-country collabs, fashion editor Diana Vreeland put a then unknown Lauren Bacall on Bazaar’s March 1943 cover—a move that would land the 18-year-old model her first movie role and mark the beginning of her ascent as a fashion icon. But Hollywood is really just a sliver of what makes L.A. dazzle. As the brilliant filmmaker Ava DuVernay has pointed out, it’s a city that is so many different things at once: desert and mountains, ocean and metropolis. Which is…

FAVORITE PIECE: Gucci’s tweed Hollywood Forever jacket. “My friend Linda Ramone does an annual tribute to her late husband, Johnny, at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. We took Alessandro Michele last year. It feels sentimental.” SIGNATURE ACCESSORIES: “Green Adidas and a Jennifer Meyer heart necklace.” FAVORITE L.A. DESIGNERS: Lykke Wullf (“for really good basics”) and Coppola’s cousin Rosetta Getty. She’s also partial to Rodarte. “The collection they showed in Paris is insane—every single piece is gorgeous.” FAVORITE OLDHOLLYWOOD SPOT: Musso & Frank Grill. “I love the kind of tradition and the history behind it all. F. Scott Fitzgerald used to sit there and write.” (Bonus: It’s a short walk from Coppola’s house.) FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP: Proof Bakery. “I’m willing to drive to Glendale to go there.” FAVORITE SCENE-Y RESTAURANT: The überhip…

In the history of shopping center design, one architect’s name rises above the rest: Victor Gruen, the man who invented the indoor mall. The innovative theories and designs of Victor Gruen Associates appealed to the creativity and business acumen of the Segerstrom family, who retained Gruen and his firm to design South Coast Plaza, in Costa Mesa, California, on the site of their family farm. The Vienna-born and Bauhaus-trained architect emigrated from Austria in 1938 after Nazi Germany annexed the country and forced the Jewish-born Gruen to give up his firm. He arrived in New York “with an architect’s degree, eight dollars, and no English,” Gruen later recalled, but soon found work designing boutiques on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. In 1946, he established Victor Gruen Associates in Los Angeles. Until Gruen…

“THERE ARE ONLY two kinds of songs, honey,” growls Keith Richards. “The beautifully smooth ones that are plainly obvious when they come to you, and the ones that give you a hard time.” In the more than five decades he has spent churning out some of rock’s most enduring hits, the Rolling Stones guitarist has been unsurprisingly “lucky with the smooth ones.” Armed with a creative compass that guides him whenever the inklings of a new song arise, Richards, 73, explains that he “can almost always imagine where the music is gonna end up once it begins.” As the Stones embarked on their latest European tour, he shared the inspiration behind three legendary tracks. SWEET BLACK ANGEL Exile on Main St. (1972) “This one started as an island-lilt sort of thing…

NEO-EXPRESSIONISM Encouraging readers to “look again” may as well be our mantra, which is why we asked a bevy of top models, including Christy Turlington, to pose alongside figurative painter Francesco Clemente’s portraits of them for our April 2016 issue. PICTURES GENERATION For the March 2016 issue, photographer Cindy Sherman (top right) threw herself to the fashion wolves in a send-up of street-style stars. And for the September 2013 issue, we positioned designer Raf Simons (right) in front of Robert Longo’s ferocious charcoal shark, a metaphor if there ever was one. CONTEMPORARY Marc Quinn’s up-close-andpersonal September 2015 portfolio of designer eyeballs was a literal riff on our commitment to looking at life through artists’ eyes. PHOTOGRAPHY It wasn’t always considered an art form, but it certainly is now, thanks in…

IT’S A CLICHÉ to say that fashion is shifting—fashion always shifts. It is, by its very nature, malleable and mutable, each season transforming itself, and hopefully you, into something new. It is an industry predicated on a perpetual dynamic of change, of constant renewal, of fresh blood. These changes can be invigorating. They can reset the eye. Really great fashion can shift not just the what but the why, altering not only the physical form of the clothes on your back but the psychological ramifications of wearing them. Fashion can shift perceptions of the self. But at the moment fashion seems to be preoccupied with its shifting perceptions of itself. The current landscape—as with so many landscapes—is in peril. Long-held “rules” are being questioned, rewritten, or scrapped entirely. The biannual…

“Technology has reached a point where extending animal life span by 30 percent is routine,” says David Sinclair, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and a renowned authority on longevity. “Dozens of companies are testing aging-reversal technologies in human clinical trials, and the combination of these could extend life span by decades.” Why is that a good thing? Because with science, those additional years could be happier, healthier ones. It does seem cruel, however, to have all that extra time if we’ll also look 150 years old. Fortunately, the most visionary anti-aging treatments on the horizon make pioneering plastic-surgery procedures seem run-of-the-mill. Read on to find out how a key supplement, DNA editing, and young blood could someday add years to your life, erase wrinkles, and potentially wipe…

TO CELEBRATE ITS 160th anniversary, Vuitton invited six visionaries—Karl Lagerfeld, Frank Gehry, Cindy Sherman, Marc Newson, Christian Louboutin, and Rei Kawakubo—to put their stamp on its iconic LV monogram. It’s doubtful that Georges Vuitton could have imagined a boxing bag and matching gloves by Karl Lagerfeld (who photographed the results for Bazaar). Or artist Cindy Sherman’s trunk-cum-mini-studio full of clever drawers for wigs, fake eyeballs, lashes, and acrylic nails, and plastered with stamps from her fantasy travels on the exterior. (The trunk will be on display in “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez.”) Christian Louboutin conjured up a chic rolling caddy (for groceries, naturally), complete with his signature red accents; and Marc Newson created a fleece-trimmed backpack (not recommended for actual camping). Meanwhile, Comme des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo produced a tote with burned-out…

WINNIE HARLOW as Mona Lisa A controversial new book, Mona Lisa: The People and the Painting, claims that history’s most infamous half-smile may have belonged to the wife of an Italian slave trader. Understandably, this bit of breaking news has prompted Winnie Harlow—the 23-year-old Canadian model of Jamaican descent who has helped demystify the skin pigmentation condition vitiligo—to reexamine Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece with a critical eye. Her take on the new theory is pure millennial: “How can we ever really know what Lisa the person was like? That was a time before there were selfies!” Harlow too knows what it’s like to have strangers make assumptions about her based solely on her appearance. “People come up to me all the time, like, ‘Oh, you know there’s a treatment, right?’…

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.

The fashion industry creates a fantasy world of what women are supposed to look like. But now everybody is able to be themselves. As an ultra-curvy model who’s unapologetically showing off her body, I think that has created a space for women to say, “I might not wear Spanx today and let my cellulite hang out.” That’s something I’m really proud of. It’s cool that designers are finally seeing us not as a token but as everyday women. I walked in my first show for Michael Kors for Fall 2017, and for Spring 2018 he had another curvy model, Sabina Karlsson. She’s spectacular—tall and black with red hair. When I was younger I didn’t have as much confidence. I had an agent telling me that I needed to lose weight.…

32 ounces of chlorophyll water 2 daughters 6:30 A.M. As soon as I wake up, I make a Bulletproof Coffee, which is Brain Octane Oil, two tablespoons of grass-fed butter, collagen protein powder, and coffee. 7:15 A.M. In the morning, my husband, Marc [Silverstein], who’s a writerproducer, and I divide and conquer. He’ll get our eldest daughter, Birdie, on the bus, while Cricket, our youngest, and I make breakfast. I usually let her watch one episode of a show, like PAW Patrol. We don’t limit TV time in our house. I get why people do, but my husband and I both watched so much TV growing up and ended up with successful careers in entertainment—we turned out alright! Birdie was literally breaking down story structures when she was five years…

FAVORITE LANDMARK: The Beverly Hills Hotel. “I’ve known the employees most of my life—I know when their kids were born, who’s having a dance recital. It’s nice to have a place that feels like a community.” RESTAURANT: Richie favors Italian fare, preferring the clubby Santa Monica Boulevard eatery Dan Tana’s when she’s in the mood to see and be seen, and Jon & Vinny’s when she wants something a little more modern. BOÎTE: Chateau Marmont. DRINK: “Tequila, baby!” BEAUTY PRODUCTS: Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara (“it will stay on no matter what”), Biologique Recherche moisturizer and sunscreen, and Ouai Hair Oil are among Richie’s go-to’s. “I’m a minimalist when it comes to beauty products and tend to stick to the essentials.” FAVORITE LOOK: “I’m a jeans and T-shirt person, but my…

scorpio OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22 Pressure will build on you this month to do work that’s innovative but also practical. You’ll be inspired to get a project under way, and knowing that you can bring it in below budget will be the icing on the cake. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon but that we wait so long to begin it. LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 A financial or political arrangement coming to fruition should work out well for you. Money will start coming in, and you’ll see to it that someone who has supported you is rewarded. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: To get the most out of tomorrow, take care of today.

Art “transcends social, geographic, economic, and political boundaries, bringing us all a little closer.” NANCY NASHER BELIEVES that public art will save us all. “Public art is democratic: It allows individuals from all communities to experience important art without the intimidating context that is often associated with museums and galleries,” she says. “It has the ability to connect individuals and the power to elevate communities.” Nasher, who owns NorthPark Center with her husband, David Haemisegger, would know. The Dallas shopping center, which boasts luxury shopping destinations like Gucci, Valentino, and Neiman Marcus among its 235-plus stores and restaurants, is home to more than 300 modern and contemporary masterpieces by the likes of Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, and KAWS, and plays host to more than 26 million visitors every year—more than…

BOUNCE AND LUSTER are the signifiers of healthy hair no matter your age. “If your hair is damaged and malnourished, it will make you look older,” says celebrity hairstylist Garren. Luckily, getting it into shape is easier than you may think. REFRESH & RESET On your quest for your most gorgeous hair, you may need to change both your cut and your regimen. Committing to regular trims is key because blunt, healthy ends make hair look more lively instantly, says Garren. And if you often use silicone-heavy products or dry shampoo, you need to start exfoliating your scalp. “Shampoo alone doesn’t get it all out when you have layers of product,” explains Garren. Using a scalp scrub twice a month is crucial for removing the buildup, which can weaken and…

BUCKLE IN There’s something undeniably empowering about the buckle and how it cinches and boldly adorns. We’re considering this detail a part of the contemporary woman’s everyday armor. PRETTY PLUMES Feminine, frothy, and flirty— feathers are fabulously fashionable. Just a touch is all you need for instant whimsy, or, for supreme glamour, cover yourself head to toe. ALL LACED UP Both sexy and utilitarian, lacing (a lot or a little) in the right places lends the perfect finish and pulls your look together. Jewelry need not apply.…

TODAY IS A NEW day. A big day,” wrote French designer Nicolas Ghesquière in the show notes for his Fall 2014 debut collection, and his pronouncement— set in a glossy, beautiful future—proved right. Ghesquière stepped into his role as artistic director on firm footing, turning out sharp, confident pieces that have captured the polished, sensuous luxury of the house and respected the past without leaning on it. Inspired by women like his longtime friend Charlotte Gainsbourg and muses Catherine Deneuve and Léa Seydoux, Ghesquière is also known for his boyish, endearing love of sci-fi, Star Wars, and all things outer space. For his Spring 2016 show, he projected NASA videos onto the runway’s backdrop, and dressed models in fresh powder-pink moto jackets and laser-cut leather. Indeed, his imagination seems to…

“If there is a secret to my success, it’s that I have absolutely no problem with myself.” I LOVE Murakami’s octopus character, Taco 7, because it’s just so funny. Although I’ve never actually met Takashi, I think he’s a wonderful artist. And if he’s anything like what he expresses in his art, I’m sure we would get along. But am I like his octopus that eats its own leg in order to survive? In some ways, I guess. I have survived in the world pretty well, but that is mostly because I’m lucky. I have lifelong contracts at two billion-dollar companies, Fendi and Chanel, which gives me a level of freedom that—let’s be honest—nobody else in fashion really has. So I don’t have any sort of feeling that I need…

WE CALLED MY MOTHER’S mother Ammaji. Her husband’s nickname was Babajan. The first was a title of respect, the second of affection. Unlike my grandfather, my grandmother was not an easy person, but she commanded absolute respect. She was, in a word, terrifying. She was small and wide, and you didn’t argue with her. The frown was her habitual expression but every so often she smiled, and it was like a gift. And when she gave it to us, we, her grandchildren, rushed to her and hugged her. The smile was a sign that hugging was, just this once, allowed. We all admired her ferocity, but we were relieved when she let the mask slip and revealed her love. She had three daughters. The eldest grew up to be a…

JUST LIKE A DRESS made of a delicate fabric, your hair requires TLC to continue looking its best over time. Salon styling can provide a quick fix, but your at-home routine is the key to restoring damaged strands to their full potential, says Kevin Hughes, artistic director for Moroccanoil. Rather than struggling to beat hair into submission, work with your hair, not against it, by preventing everyday breakage. Here, strategic tips that really work. USE HYDRATING SHAMPOO Your first step toward great hair starts in the shower. Be sure to use a shampoo and conditioner that restore moisture to your hair instead of stripping it. “Hair just won’t respond to styling if it’s depleted of moisture,” Hughes explains. Steer clear of formulas that are high in sulfates, which can be…
