Indholdsfortegnelse for December 2017/January 2018 i Harper's Bazaar

NO MATTER what the state of the world may be, the holidays are a time to celebrate the good things in life, and to do so with style. With this in mind, we present our annual gift guide, filled with treasures to suit every taste, whether you’re shopping for a frequent flier who’s seen it all or a gardening guru with a love of florals (page 135). And when you’re ready to hit the party circuit, our Fabulous at Every Age feature has you covered—preferably in black, and dripping with diamonds (page 170). Elsewhere, Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing shares his perfect Christmas Day (page 196), and Iman recalls the Giambattista Valli dress that changed her life (page 146). Who knows? Perhaps you’ll find one that changes yours. Enjoy the issue.…

TASSELS HAVE PLAYED a supporting role in countless major fashion trends—from cowgirl cool to rock ’n’ roll chic—but Balmain knows how to put them front and center. Their swaggering presence on the house’s prim new purse is a case in point. With its gold chain, black leather body, and beaded embellishments, this LBB (little black bag) is an exercise in maximalist monochrome— and proof positive that too much can be just right. PRESENTED BY BALMAIN PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999—literally— with the return of that once-maligned ’90s standby, the high-fashion flat. Karl Lagerfeld Paris’s backless satin slipper with embroidered-pearl appliqué will have you shaking your tail feather well past the witching hour. PRESENTED BY KARL LAGERFELD PARIS The BUY Jewelry LEAVE IT TO collaborator Gigi Hadid to help Messika bridge the gap…

I WAS IN A CAR coming home from the airport in 2010 when Diane von Furstenberg called me and said, “Darling, the CFDA has nominated you.” And I’m like, “For what? I’m not a designer.” And she said, “The Fashion Icon Award. It was unanimous.” And I said, “Well, I’m honored.” Then automatically I was like, “What the hell am I going to wear?” I knew I wanted something that would transcend time, that nobody could ever put a date on. I didn’t want a color, so if you look at a black-and-white picture it could have been 1950. It had to be couture and have a presence but feel timeless and iconic. Giambattista [Valli] had sent me a couple of dresses for other events, and beautiful as they were,…

NOËLLE’S MUST-HAVE Harper’s BAZAAR Merchandising Editor Noëlle Tota on her canÕt-live-without beauty essential. ”For a refreshed, flawless face—throughout the hectic holiday season, and all year long—Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin® liquid makeup is my everyday go-to.

1 TRACK IS BACK With Hollywood über stylist Jamie Mizrahi (Katy Perry, Nicole Richie) now helming aughts mainstay Juicy Couture, prepare for the apotheosis of athleisure. 2 PRETTY UGLY Demna Gvasalia hit a jolie-laide high with platform Crocs, but Christopher Kane, who showed the plastic clogs a year ago, was one step ahead with crystal-embellished water shoes. 3 BATTLE OF VERSAILLES Last July, a trio of American designers (Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, Monique Lhuillier) decamped for the chicer precincts of Paris, and Paris Fashion Week saw two formidable labels following suit. Between Thom Browne’s delirious, unicorn-dotted fantasia and the couturemeets- homespun looks at Altuzarra, our compatriots’ strong showing in the City of Light made the case for cultural exchange. 4 CURIOUS AND CURIOUSER The kids of Stranger Things aren’t the only…

“SHE HELD MY HAND, and you could feel the years of care,” Kate Hudson says of her encounter with an elderly matriarch on a site visit to Cambodia, as part of her friend Michael Kors’s Watch Hunger Stop campaign in support of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). “She had fought so hard to support her children and now her grandchildren, making sure they stayed in school,” the actress recalls. “She made us these delicious stuffed banana leaves but apologized because she had a hole in her roof that she couldn’t afford to fix, so she said they didn’t have the right smokiness.” Kors quips, “She’s such a Jewish grandmother!” Now in its fifth year, Kors’s Watch Hunger Stop collection— this year’s products include a special-edition Michael Kors Access…

KEEPING A FEW KEY PRODUCTS in your beauty arsenal will help you get ready for party season like a pro. FLAWLESS SKIN How you do your makeup in the morning will determine how much (or how little) you’ll need to touch up later on, says Dior celebrity makeup artist Ricky Wilson. He recommends swapping out your regular foundation for a long-wearing formula like Dior Diorskin Forever Undercover ($52), which stays on for up to 24 hours. For touch-ups throughout the day, use a cushion compact. “It doesn’t deposit more makeup, and it helps bring your foundation back to life,” says Wilson. We like Laneige BB Cushion Hydra Radiance ($38). PRETTY GLOW In the evening, you want to draw as much light to your face as possible, says celebrity makeup artist…

RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND what they hope is the next big breakthrough in the ongoing search for younger-looking skin—stem cells from the umbilical cords of newborn babies. While dermatologists have been using cells from patients’ own blood for their purported rejuvenating powers for years (see Vampire Facials), they have high hopes for umbilical-cord stem cells because they’re, well, younger. “Umbilical stem cells are brand-new, and they are multipotent, meaning they can take on the characteristics of tissue they come into contact with,” says Mark B. Taylor, M.D., a Salt Lake City dermatologist and cosmetic laser surgeon who is currently leading pilot studies that use umbilical-cord stem cells for skin rejuvenation, vaginal rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. “They’re like a new car—they drive better.” That such a range of uses is possible is…

As we prepare to bid farewell to 2017, we look to the future with a renewed sense of optimism. It’s certainly been a memorable year for women, kicking off with the almost five-million-strong Women’s March in January, and culminating in a watershed moment that saw the women of Hollywood— and around the world—unite in defense of our dignity and the right to dress however we please. With this in mind, we pay tribute in this issue to the army of fearless fashion renegades past and present with our Ageless Style essay. As Bazaar has proudly championed women for 150 years, we know that the fight is far from over. Fashion has the ability to transform, inspire, and provide that all-important feel-good factor, something we could all use a little more…

Growing up in L.A., you realize how easily you can dress up denim. My mother always wore her gorgeous gold jewelry with Levi’s and a white T-shirt. This has since become my uniform. I’m partial to Re/ Done jeans because they have that great vintage vibe but fit perfectly when you buy the right pair, and A.L.C. tees. I love a great pair of bell-bottoms. I’m into the ones Frame is doing, and I hope they come back in a big way. I saved all of mine from high school, although I don’t think that I could fit a leg in them anymore. I also love a flowy floral dress from Ulla Johnson, Isabel Marant, or Reformation. It allows me to be comfortable without looking like a schlub. If you…

STYLIST’S TIP If full-on shine is too much, opt for sparkly trim. STYLIST’S TIP A romper gives eveningwear a fresh twist. STYLIST’S TIP Raise your style quotient with a drop-waist dress. STYLIST’S TIP Try an haute take on seasonal snowflakes. STYLIST’S TIP Keep up with the times with a diamond-faced watch. STYLIST’S TIP Brushstrokes dress up a body-skimming silhouette.…

8:30 A.M. On Christmas morning I’ll wake up in Bordeaux in my childhood bedroom surrounded by my posters. As a kid, I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford. I don’t want to say what I’ll be wearing because it looks a bit strange, but, okay—Petit Bateau striped pajamas with a matching cap, which my mom still buys for me. My dad and I will have breakfast next door with my grandma and granddad. We’ll eat omelets with bacon and nice homemade bread. 10:30 A.M. I’ll go back home to shower and then put on skinny pants, a tank top, and my double-breasted jacket. No matter where I am, it’s my uniform. When I travel I take 10 pairs of pants and 10 jackets…

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22 Try not to panic when a financial arrangement doesn’t yield the profits you hoped for. In January, you’ll come up with an ingenious idea to improve a setup that’s benefiting no one. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Better to be a good example than a horrible warning. LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23 Organizing a trip or get-together in December may prove complicated. If possible, wait until the last week of the month to finalize details. In January, pace yourself in a competitive field. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Conscience is the nest in which goodness is hatched. VIRGO AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 Refuse to allow tiffs or tantrums at home to affect you in December. Not to worry—this period of ups and downs will be shortlived. In January, you’ll take…

WE ASKED THE EXPERTS to reveal their secrets to prevent overeating and weight gain, get a quick glow, and hide a hangover. PARTY PREP Winter’s chilly temperatures and indoor heat can suck the moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and dull. To revive your complexion, Los Angeles dermatologist Peter Kopelson, M.D., recommends getting a Neo-Peel glycolic-acid treatment a few days before an event. “It takes only 10 minutes and creates an immediate glow.” No time to go to the dermatologist? Giorgio Armani celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn suggests using the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask ($17) before applying your makeup for a more luminous canvas. While getting ready, fix yourself a snack so that you don’t head straight to the canapés the moment you arrive at the party. Eat a…

It’s time for TEXTURE in the form of buttery noir leather and cozy BLUE shearling. Dial up the DRAMA with billowy gowns and embroidered velvet SUITING.…

HER EARLOBES weighed down by enough charms to fill two bracelets, her hair in a topknot, Angela Missoni is claustrophobic in cities, alive with enthusiasm, lit by clarity. For 20 years the creative director of Missoni, she’s turned the family-owned company into a global luxury brand without forfeiting its intimate authenticity. “I’m not looking for perfection,” she says, “but harmony.” I’ve been in thrall to her family from the first time I saw a Missoni pullover in a magazine in 1967. Every possible color was joined into a lacy motif of faintly heraldic points as scalloped as fish scales, as feathered as bird wings. The colors said everything was possible, the lacy scales suggested that one could transcend human form, the pullover proved that fashion could bend toward joy. I…

Don’t let the harsh winter stop your summer vibes. With Tom Ford’s Soleil collection of ultra-pigmented palettes and hydrating shimmers, you can achieve sun-kissed skin and the perfect flush of color. “Look into any of my handbags and you’re going to find Tom Ford makeup. Who doesn’t want to pull out one of his coveted, luxe compacts? Instant glamour.” ALEXANDRA PARNASS, BEAUTY DIRECTOR Stylist’s Tip Invest in timeless styles like this Natalia bag with its classic shape and velvety finish.…

THE BRILLIANCE and individuality of diamonds mined from the earth add character to any piece, from a classic parure to a pair of sunnies. Whether you’re hitting a deb ball or a downtown dive, trust in the real thing to help you look the part.…

My dad gave me the best style advice: Wear whatever makes you happy. Clothes become an extension of who you are and are the way you introduce yourself to the world, so you should choose things that radiate joy! I love menswear, including Gucci’s novelty sweatshirts. My femininity comes through in accessories, like Marco de Vincenzo’s braided velvet sandals— I have them in pink, mustard, teal, and gold—and, of course, jewelry. I collect insects. I have a lot of beetles, including a really beautiful jewel beetle specimen from Papua New Guinea that’s almost blue, with red on the side and a bit of yellow. I often use them as inspiration for my designs. I also collect traditional garments from countries, including Guatemala, Morocco, and my native Mexico. I have a vintage dealer in…

Like art, fine jewelry is an investment. But it’s also a narrative of a person’s tastes and style at a given moment in their life. Shops and galleries specializing in the two often feel cold and intimidating. I want to offer my clients a place where they can ask questions openly and learn about the pieces and about collecting as a whole. Paris-based Alessandro Sabbatini is my favorite new jewelry designer. We carry his brand, Sabba, exclusively in the U.S. The pieces are fun and wearable yet striking and brilliant in their design and construction. His emerald-cut-diamond cuff is absolutely stunning. This holiday I’m loving classic Bulgari wraparound Tubogas watches and candy-like, gem-encrusted earrings from the Mumbai-based jeweler Bhagat. As for art, we have a great pair of Robert Longo…

20s AMBER MATTHEWS 28, of San Francisco, California 30s JENNA MAXFIELD 32, of Boston, Massachusetts 40s MICHELLE CULLY 48, of Hanover, Massachusetts 50s CATHY WILLIAMSON 56, of Dallas, Texas 60+ ANN NYBERG 60, of Madison, Connecticut BAZAAR’S ANNUAL Fabulous at Every Age contest, presented by Estée Lauder in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, showcases five readers of different ages who are living their lives with great style, confidence, and grace. The awards luncheon took place at New York’s Le Bernardin Privé, where author and philanthropist Jessica Seinfeld was the guest speaker. “Being fabulous is a state of mind, more than how you look,” said Seinfeld, 46. “Self-confidence, purpose, and pride give the air of fabulousness, more than the clothing you wear and the car you drive.” Social justice advocate Jenna…

IN MY UPCOMING BOOK, In Praise of Difficult Women, I write about the lives of great women who’ve inspired me with their grit, grace, and knack for being true originals. It’s no accident these “difficult” women who ignored expectations and broke the rules were also icons of style. They were just as fearless in their wardrobes as they were in their personal lives and careers. How sad that we live in a world where our freedom to dress however we like has been brought into question. As if what women wear were somehow to blame for the current state of affairs, or, worse, they’re “asking for trouble” with their fashion choices. Fashion is communicative, political, artistic. It’s who—not what—we are. Yet in the 1930s, when women started to wear trousers,…

PROTECT A potent blend of Asian botanicals delivers a rush of anti-aging goodness. Be…

“I would worry about what people thought of me. Then you get to a point where you’re like, ‘You know what? I’m okay.’” It’s this epic story: My grandmother was colonial Indian, and it was a big old family secret because her mum had an affair with someone in India,” says the English rose Emilia Clarke. “She would wear makeup to make her skin look white.” Granny passed away when Clarke was 16, and the teenager took off for India with her boyfriend to scatter the ashes. “She loved India more than she loved England,” Clarke says. “Fuck, yeah. I love that part of me—I’m like one-eighth Indian.” Nationality is a fluid concept for the actress who speaks the fictional Dothraki language in Game of Thrones, played the flighty New…

Karl Lagerfeld makes magic in front of the camera by pushing his subjects just beyond their comfort zones. “He said, ‘Bend backward as far as you can without falling over,’” model Grace Elizabeth says in her sweet-as-pie Southern twang following a recent session with Chanel’s creative maestro. “I had no idea I could actually go that far until I looked at the screen and was like, ‘Okay, now I’m break-dancing!’” Elizabeth’s improvised bit of choreography was a good deal more successful than her last attempt: “I took a hip-hop class two months ago and ended up breaking my ankle,” she says with a laugh. Not that she let it slow her down. Since making her Victoria’s Secret runway debut in 2016 in a pair of giant ribbon-covered wings, Elizabeth, 20,…

Drop-dead gorgeous. Dress, Moschino. Earrings, Bulgari. Shoes, Christian Louboutin. FASHION EDITOR: Deborah Watson “Call me biased, but I consider Poirot to be the greatest fictional detective of all time.” “Agatha Christie understood that if something can happen, even just once, it is plausible— because people are strange and unpredictable.” AGATHA CHRISTIE is, quite simply, a legend in the world of mystery writing. She penned 66 novels, 14 short-story collections, and has sold more than two billion copies, a record bested only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Too many crime writers back away from narratives they don’t consider realistic. Agatha Christie understood, however, that if something can happen, even just once, it is plausible—because people are strange and unpredictable. Without that understanding, she wouldn’t have given us Murder on the Orient…
