Innehållsförteckning för December 2014 - January 2015 från Harper's Bazaar

Blame it on the holidays, but we at Bazaar are pining for all things bright, shiny, and new—especially jewels. Which explains why we've dedicated this issue to baubles grand and grander, from the diamond-encrusted crocodile neckpiece you see here to colorful cocktail rings, beads, and other museum-worthy objets (page 340). You'll find gems sprinkled throughout, including a page in which jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez answers readers' questions and shares her pearls of wisdom (page 90). Also, enter the historic palazzo of legendary Venetian jeweler Attilio Codognato, whose clients past and present have included Elizabeth Taylor and Nicole Kidman (page 257). And last but not least, adorn your loved ones in high style with a little help from our annual gift guide (page 137). Shine bright like a diamond. Cartier necklace.…

THE HOLIDAYS ARE the perfect excuse to don a fabulous cocktail frock andpaint the town, well, red. Follow model Karolina Kurkova's lead and try long sleeves and a short hemline, then up the flattering factor with the addition of a thin belt. As for the shoe, a black pump is a foolproof weapon, particularly when armed with a sparkling stiletto heel. ä 1. Antonini ring. antonini.it. 2. Piamita dress, $460.

WHERE FASHION MEETS CULTURE 1 FASHION FOR FEMINISM There's a fresh wave of feminism in town, bra burning not included. From Emma Watson's mobilizing HeForShe speech at the U.N. to Karl Lagerfeld's political protest–cum–Chanel fashion show (above)—in which models brandished such items as a box clutch emblazoned with the new "Feministe Mais Feminine" (Feminist but Feminine) slogan, and an actual HeForShe picket sign —it's clear that empowerment is the best look of all. Christine Whitney 2 THAT '70s SHOW We may be headed into 2015, but designers are getting nostalgic for all things '70s, from the Stevie Nicks–esque lace-up shirts at Givenchy to summer suede at Chloé and Gucci to the Studio 54–sexy jumpsuits at Balmain. And we'd be remiss not to mention the flares at Derek Lam and Coach.…

"Well, if you're lazy, you're lazy, and there's nothing I can do. It's like that song by Marlene Dietrich." I'm in Karl Lagerfeld's hotel room, and it's everything I dreamed of. You see, I love Karl, ever since I first met him while shooting an episode of The Look in Paris two years ago. His answer to all my questions was "No," but at the same time he gave me everything. I love Karl so much, I like to grab him a lot. (Please see pictures of me grabbing Karl on three separate occasions.) Karl doesn't suffer fools, he's funny as hell, and sharp as a razor. So, I thought, who better to guide me into 2015 than the oracle that is Karl? "Don't think too much," he says, sitting…

One of Venice's most venerable jewelers is notoriously hard to find. Tucked behind silk-curtained windows on a stone-paved walkway near Piazza San Marco sits Casa Codognato, which has occupied the same space since Simeone Codognato first set up shop in 1866. His son Attilio inherited the store in 1897, and soon gained a reputation for creating idiosyncratic memento mori pieces, featuring skulls and snakes, from unexpected combinations of precious metals and stones. The jewels became a hallowed mark of ultra-exclusivity, worn by women like Maria Callas, Coco Chanel, and Elizabeth Taylor. Codognato's current proprietor, Simeone's great-grandson—also named Attilio—assumed the helm in 1958, and has since amassed a cult following all his own. With his striking white beard and trim suits, Attilio is a charismatic presence, and like his great-grandfather, is…

CINDERELLA'S fairy godmother turned a tattered dress and a pumpkin into a shim mering gown and a lavish ride. Remember, though, there was one catch: The makeover lasted only until midnight. With his InstaBreast technique, Norman Rowe, a New York plastic surgeon, is playing fairy godmother to women temporarily seeking larger, fuller breasts, but his handiwork also lasts for only one night. In about 20 minutes, you can go from flat-chested to cleavage-proud. Rowe's method is remarkably simple: He designates a site at the edge of each nipple, and after the area is anesthetized, he injects about a half-liter of sterile saline solution—essentially salt water—into the patient's breast tissue. He maneuvers the needle at various angles to different areas, expanding each breast until it reaches the desired fullness. The saline…

STAY-SLIM SECRETS RULE #1: SNACK BEFORE THE PARTY "Never go into a high-calorie situation hungry, because it means you're going to be vulnerable," says Stephen Gullo, a New York psychologist and nutrition expert. An apple isn't enough; before leaving the house whip up an egg-white omelet with vegetables, a salad with shrimp, Greek yogurt, or Laughing Cow cheese on high-fiber crackers. "Fiber kills appetite," he says. Still hankering for a pig in a blanket when you arrive? Pop a Listerine strip in your mouth as the tray is passing by, advises Gullo. "It overpowers the taste buds and knocks out your sense of smell, so I recommend them to people who have problems with hors d'oeuvres." Cindy Crawford's trick: "I always eat before going out so anything I drink won't…

In the round. Dress, Emilio Pucci. Shoes, Manolo Blahnik. Jennifer Aniston's house, which she shares with her fiancé, Justin Theroux, is set high up on a sunny hill overlooking Los Angeles. It's large and compound-like, befitting a star of Aniston's shininess in the Hollywood orbit. But it is also, and very distinctly, a home. There are oversize cushions and throws on the slouchy couch, high-chic Jacques Adnet chairs ("they're the most comfortable chairs in the room!"), a Buddha you could high-five. Aniston comes racing in from the kitchen, a jazzy blur in trim white jeans, a navy T-shirt, and taupe wedges. She loves this house, loves houses in general—renovating, doing them up, making a home. "It's what I love to do," she says. "It's a great outlet for me, a…

"I love using history—to know you are alive." RACHEL FEINSTEIN RACHEL FEINSTEIN LOVES relief, bas-relief in particular. "It's so complex and so beautiful," she says. "It relies exclusively on the delicate interplay of shadows to demonstrate form." She laughs. "I'm also a big sucker for anything white on white." In Feinstein's interpretation here, "I embedded live models within the wall to provide the sculptural relief." But there's an artful fakery too. "I didn't want to create a Halloween set but rather make them be a part of a life-size allusion to why I love bas-relief so much." And the resonance for Feinstein…

For a girl growing up in Communist Russia, anything fashionwise was a window to the world," says Tatiana Sorokko, who was an 18-year-old physics student when she was spotted in Moscow by Marilyn Gauthier, founder of Marilyn Agency. "Marilyn was one of the first Western modeling agents to come to Russia to scout, and she insisted that I come to Paris," Sorokko recalls. "She told me that my features were striking and exotic, which surprised me because I never considered my looks exotic at all!" The five-foot-eleven-inch, blue-eyed teenager arrived in Paris on a Friday in the spring of 1990; the following Monday she went to a casting at Yves Saint Laurent's atelier. "Yves was there, and he asked me a lot of questions," she says. "The Baroness Hélène de…

As anyone who knows me is aware, I prize originality. So it's not surprising that among my very favorite Harper's Bazaar images of all time is a 1963 Melvin Sokolsky photograph in which a model drifts over Paris in a giant bubble. I was thrilled when Melvin agreed to revive the concept for our cover shoot with Jennifer Aniston, who is not only one of the world's most talked-about actresses but also one of its most gracious. My greatest love (besides fashion, of course) is art—but what I love above all is when art and fashion align. Much to my delight, then, the artist Rachel Feinstein collaborated with Bazaar on a series of stunning fine art–fashion images, posing models in the manner of bas-relief sculptures—clad not in marble but in…

2014's sartorial standouts THE NEW CLASS 1 This past year the fashion universe learned to expect the unexpected, like when a London-based human-rights lawyer and activist turned into an international style sensation and the teenage sister of an E! reality show star became Paris's next top model. In the case of the former, I'm referring to AMAL CLOONEY (née Alamuddin), whose marriage to the world's most eligible bachelor put her in the spotlight and whose impeccable style rendered us unable to stop watching. The latter, of course, is KENDALL JENNER, Kim Kardashian's little sis, who popped up on runways from Marc Jacobs to Chanel—not to mention red carpets. 'Twas a big year for LUPITA NYONG'O, both for her Oscar and the Prada she wore to receive it. The French starlet…

THAT BRAVE NEW dawn on January 1 always brings a call to action. And I find none more therapeutic than drafting my New Year's resolutions, especially when they pertain to my specialty: clothes. Applied to my closet, the "Out with the old, in with the new" mantra translates into editing or maybe, in today's pumped-up fashion-speak, curating. And believe me, few activities are this cathartic—try it and see. Here's where I'll be starting. KNOW THINE HUE Apart from going naked (and that's just impractical in January), few sartorial decisions are as liberating as choosing your ideal colors. Pick a shade you love and stick to it. Mine is blue, fading to gray. You can't imagine how much time this saves me shopping. I sweep past the racks of mustard and…

AQUARIUS JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 19 In December, you'll surprise everyone—yourself included—by reinvigorating a project in which interest has been waning. Expect to be the center of attention in January. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Many things are lost for want of asking. SCORPIO OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22 Those hinting that you should take a more relaxed approach to finances may be right. In January, you'll be happy to solve family problems, but don't sacrifice your favorite activities in the process. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: The thaw will reveal what has been hidden by snow. LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23 Discussion of issues involving work shouldn't unnerve you; avoid being drawn into situations where there's no cause for concern. In January, remain rational no matter how many hurdles you face. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Gratitude…

After three weeks, "you'll slim down, tone up, and detox," he promises. 2 BURN MORE FAT Forget counting steps—the best way to boost the burn is to measure your heart rate, says exercise physiologist Michelle Lovitt. Stay in your optimal fat-burning zone, and track reps, breathing, and every move your muscles make by wearing a high-tech, sensor-infused Athos shirt and shorts, then check the Athos app for your stats. 3 LOOK YOUNGER IN MINUTES Improve your skin while getting your hair done.

"BIG GIRLS NEED BIG DIAMONDS," Elizabeth Taylor famously said. Now, it turns out, a woman's favorite bauble may add a glow to your skin as well as your ring finger. Some of the most cutting-edge skin-care lines are incorporating diamonds and their perfect partner, platinum, into their serums, moisturizers, masks, and treatments. Even some normally skeptical cosmetic chemists see the potential beauty benefits. "Minerals such as diamonds, gold, and platinum have been used as delivery systems for certain cancer drugs as a way of shielding the drug from the body's defense system, which allows enough time for the drug to get to the tumor," says cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson, CEO of Catalyst Cosmetic Development. So how could this help your—ahem—wrinkles? Diamond and platinum nanoparticles have an exceptionally high absorption rate,…

A fourth-generation member of the Fendi fashion dynasty, the jewelry designer embodies the house's avant-garde spirit. Here, she answers your questions on everything from art to astrology. Fendi is such a family affair. What's the best thing about collaborating with your mother, Silvia Venturini Fendi? It's been a great experience—we are practically telepathic. Fendi is as much a part of my DNA as it is a part of hers. You have amazing style. What's the most daring thing you've worn? I often wear nun's dresses. What were you in a past life? I like to think that I was an animal, since I follow my instinct so much. How did you get interested in Transcendental Meditation? And how do you fit it into your busy schedule? I started last year.…

VAN CLEEF'SMOMENT IN TIME There are watches, and there are watches. And then there's this gem from Van Cleef & Arpels' Cadenas collection, which dates from 1935and comes encrusted with more diamonds than we can count. Inspired by the Duchess of Windsor and her contemporaries (for whom watches had little to do with telling time and everything to do with making a statement), this pièce de résistanceis effectively a bracelet with a secret: The watch face is visible only to the wearer. (Useful for glancingat the time during interminable dinner parties.) Its name, Cadenas, which means "padlock" in French, is certainly appropriate—we'd be happy to put this sparkler on and throw away the key. Van Cleef & Arpels watch. 877-VAN-CLEEF.…

30 cookbooks 6 snoozes 10 pairs of white Converse 7:30 A.M. When I'm in Germany for Hugo Boss, I stay at this hotel in the town of Metzingen, where the headquarters is. I'm not the best morning person. I set the alarms on my Jason Wu phone and my Hugo Boss phone, and generally use each snooze button, like, three times. They're all synchronized, just in case one doesn't work. I use the alarm that sounds like a fire truck. It has a sense of urgency: Get up! Get up! 7:45 A.M. I get up and take a shower. I like Kiehl's products because there isn't any smell, and I use the facial exfoliator from Caudalie. I'm really fast getting ready. I have no hair, so I don't have to…

"I MUST SAY, I'm astonished that I've never gotten tired of any of my own music," says Bette Midler, whose hits like "The Rose" and "Wind Beneath My Wings" have topped charts for four decades. "Every time I set foot onstage, it's like singing that song for the first time all over again." For her latest album, It's the Girls!, Midler mined classics of a different persuasion, tackling favorites from the girl-group genre, like the Shirelles' "Baby It's You" and the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love"— all reprised with her exuberant touch.
