I n 1965, legendary photographer Richard Avedon guest-edited the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar. The first cover line read, “What’s Happening?” A lot was happening then: The war in Vietnam was picking up, and so were protests against it; the civilrights movement was in full swing, and a few months later President Johnson would sign the Voting Rights Act into law; the space race was on. It was a time of great upheaval, change, and political polarization. To answer the question posed on the cover, Avedon, who was the sole photographer for the issue, assembled writers and artists like Tom Wolfe, James Baldwin, and Roy Lichtenstein. Sixty years later, America is again at the crossroads of change. Our civil rights are being threatened; our collective progress is being erased. We…

New Yorkers are always looking for a good excuse to be in Los Angeles in the winter. For the fashion community, it’s awards season: fun in the sun, with free cocktails and red carpets galore. So there I was on a flight to LAX on Tuesday, January 7, on my way for the opening of artist Alex Israel’s new show of works inspired by the mystique of Old Hollywood glamour, when I realized something wasn’t right. As we began our descent at sunset, the sky turned thick and dark orange. I thought we were flying through clouds, but it turned out to be huge plumes of smoke. The turbulence was so rough that a woman sitting near me asked if we could hold hands. The pilot described untamed fires on…

Greenland is a place that most people get to see only in passing, as they float by on a boat or fly over in a plane. It’s a pristinely Arctic environment where psychedeliclooking blue icebergs drift by Inuit villages perched on rocky shores still patrolled by polar bears. But there are more ways now to visit the kingdom of Denmark’s less traveled territories—and it’s well worth the trip. A new airport in Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, has made getting there easier. The luxury cruise line Ponant also offers extraordinary journeys with tours led by environmental scientists to illustrate the impacts of climate change, while the ship itself hosts research labs and runs on batteries and liquefied natural gas to minimize emissions. Other operators, such as Nordic Luxury and Nomad, allow travelers…

When Richard Avedon guest-edited the April 1965 edition of Harper’s Bazaar, the issue was billed as “a partial passport to the offbeat side of Now.” For the cover, he snapped the model of the moment, Jean “the Shrimp” Shrimpton, with her face framed by a Day-Glo fuchsia cutout that evoked an astronaut’s helmet. This April marks the 60th anniversary of Avedon’s celebrated issue, and we’ve taken many cues from it as inspiration for this one, which is dedicated to the idea of “now.” As in the 1965 issue, we gathered artists and writers, from Lorna Simpson to Torrey Peters, to fill the pages with their responses and reactions to these times. One big difference between then and now is that today it would be impossible to identify a single face…

SIXTY YEARS AGO this month, Harper’s Bazaar unveiled a special edition of the magazine that was guest-edited by photographer Richard Avedon. Featuring British supernova supermodel Jean Shrimpton on the cover, the issue—dubbed “a partial passport to the off-beat side of Now”—offered a kaleidoscopic exploration of people and ideas who were shaping the era: pop stars like Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan; literary lions like James Baldwin, Renata Adler, and Tom Wolfe; artists such as Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein; the “Youthquake” Londoners who were spurring a revolution in fashion; musings on the space race, miniskirts, and the burgeoning counterculture; even a 17-year-old Kareem Abdul- Jabbar. For decades, the issue has been an obsession in fashion circles; copies are rare and coveted, especially the very limited number with a lenticular patch…

FEATURED TRACKS Listen to Jessie Reyez’s full playlist exclusively on Apple Music. “I make like FIVE SONGS in ONE DAY,” says JESSIE REYEZ. “So I’m not concerned about quality over quantity, because MY QUALITY comes out of MY QUANTITY.” The Colombian-Canadian singer and songwriter is known as much for her own soulful R&B-laced sound as she is for her ability to churn out hits across genres, having cowritten songs for the likes of Dua Lipa, Kehlani, and Normani. For Reyez, making music is about remaining in the moment. “I kind of just vibe,” she says of her approach. “My process isn’t meticulous or clinical or intentional; it’s more like a reflex.” On March 28, Reyez will release her third solo album, Paid in Memories, which she says explores “the sweeter…

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN the girl wearing heels in a snowstorm. Back in my more intrepid partying years, I’d wear a strappy stiletto in the dead of winter. I do own sneakers (Converse Chuck Taylors are my favorite), and I do have a proper pair of all-weather boots, but I love the way a heel makes me feel taller, longer, stronger. And ideally, there’s a sense of irony or whimsy, whether in the form of an embellishment or the kooky shape of a heel. A great shoe should have character! All of this is to say, I’m not one to be intimidated by a weird pair of shoes. Maison Margiela’s Tabis are the exception. The Tabi is the ne plus ultra of if-you-know-you-know fashion: revered by those who get it, reviled…

It’s LIP GLOSS’s moment of GLORY, and the current versions are anything but juvenile. What was once an ENTRY POINT into makeup has taken CENTER STAGE in the cosmetics aisle and even become a coveted accessory. Ahead, the juicy formulas—from GLOSSES to OILS to TINTED BALMS—to carry for both HYDRATION and CLOUT. I t’s a universal experience: the thrill of buying your first lip product, likely a Lancôme Juicy Tube, M.A.C Lipglass, or Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker. Lip glosses and tinted balms have historically been the stepping stone to building a makeup routine, especially before graduating to a true full-coverage lipstick. Today, there are more gateway glosses than ever from just about every makeup brand, including major players like Summer Fridays and Rhode, whose brand successes can be attributed to…

THE WORLD RIGHT NOW might be best described as inundating. There is too much happening, in too many places all at once, to even attempt to catalog or make sense of it all. It can be disorienting. It can be disconcerting. It can be so overwhelming that it’s hard to see much more than a little piece of it. These glimpses, though, are important. It has been said—over and over—that these are unprecedented times. But history has rarely unfolded in predictable waves of progress and regression, doing and undoing. More often than not, it’s our collective response to change that leads us to regroup, pick up the pieces, and rebuild things differently. History is human, part of the story we tell ourselves about who we are, and how we process…

Executive digital director LYNETTE NYLANDER REVIVES Diana Vreeland’s ICONIC COLUMN WHY DON’T YOU…DINE at a restaurant that doesn’t require a Resy strategy. Emancipate yourself from being offered 10:15 p.m. on a Tuesday three months from now. Go somewhere terminally unhip. Somewhere that’s old-school and proud of it. Somewhere you can simply walk into. The food will be cheaper. Your night will be better. You’ll be home by nine. WHY DON’T YOU…DECORATE your bed to the standards you would dress yourself for a night out. The same care and dedication should go into sourcing the very best wardrobe for where you spend a third of your life. Think of a pleated dust ruffle as your bed’s Prada skirt, its decorative throw pillows as an Hermès scarf, and a downy duvet cover as a…

Guess has long occupied its own special place in the pantheon of American denim. Founded in Los Angeles in 1981 by French brothers Georges, Maurice, Armand, and Paul Marciano, the brand developed a distinctive continental-Europe-by-way-of-California aesthetic that soon became a pop-cultural hallmark, with its slim-fit stonewashed Marilyn jeans and unmistakable black-and-white ads featuring the likes of Claudia Schiffer, Carla Bruni, and Anna Nicole Smith. It was a universe of images that projected a kind of undone glamour—and a vision of denim worlds away from its workwear roots. Since then, Guess has continued to make a splash, tapping people such as Jennifer Lopez, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Bieber to showcase both its classic and newer cuts. Last year, it embarked on an ambitious next chapter, launching a new Guess Jeans…

EVERY ERA has its own lexicon. The words we use, the way we speak, who gets to speak, our cultural sensitivities (or lack thereof)—they’re all made manifest in the language of the moment. It’s an idea Harper’s Bazaar touched on in the April 1965 issue when the magazine compiled a “cursory glossary” to the “in-most Lingo” of the day. Translation: a non-exhaustive catalog of words and phrases used by youths (and the cool-conscious of all ages) that were becoming increasingly prevalent at a time when the world seemed to be spinning off its axis and waves of social, political, and generational upheaval were transforming the culture. Six decades later, most of these terms feel archaic, like the experience of watching an old TV show where the characters have a picnic…

Many realist novelists write to comment on the now. In practice, that means writing the near future so that it might be the near past when the book finally comes out. However, when things go to shit where a writer lives, and fast, it leaves a novelist guessing: How bad must I make reality in my novel for it to look like actual reality? Get it wrong by making reality too bleak and you’ve accidentally written a doomer dystopia; get it wrong by making reality too positive and you’ve accidentally written clueless nostalgic propaganda. This problem has me—a trans woman who writes about trans women—paralyzed as I try to write my next novel. On January 28, I wrote an essay about Trump’s executive order that banned gender markers in passports…
