Harper's Bazaar September 2017

FALL HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED, in all its feathered, fur-covered glory. Not that the new season is purely escapist—there are plenty of fresh riffs on classic tailoring, timeless trench coats, and primary colors to keep things wearable (page 448). The American frontier was also top of mind, as designers drew inspiration from the Old West, filling the runways with leather fringe, romantic lace, quilted patchwork, and other prairie-chic fare. It’s a style that resonates with Southern belle Reese Witherspoon, who shares her thoughts on the trend (page 430). Elsewhere, Barneys New York’s creative ambassador, Simon Doonan, unpacks fashion’s fabulous new strange factor (page 462); and the inimitable Kate Moss, the face of Calvin Klein’s latest fragrance, Obsessed, looks back on the 1993 photo shoot for the brand’s advertising campaign that made…

In the spirit of creating more unforgettable memories in Bazaar’s history, I headed to Europe in May with American Express to embark on a series of designer conversations, shopping events, and book signings (for Amex Platinum Card members) to celebrate the unveiling of Harper’s Bazaar 150 Years: The Greatest Moments. First stop: London, where I chatted with the hilariously funny Victoria Beckham at her flagship store. Then it was on to the Victoria and Albert Museum for a dose of magazine nostalgia with U.K. Bazaar’s editor in chief, Justine Picardie. Next, we transformed the Armani boutique in Milan into a private runway show. Spotting the legendary Giorgio Armani through the shopwindow, one overwhelmed woman started crying and waving madly. Ever the gentleman, in mid-show the designer walked over and graciously…
