Innehållsförteckning för October 2014 från Harper's Bazaar

Katy Perry puts the fun in fashion like nobody's business. And as Bazaar's Laura Brown discovered when she caught up with the pop megastar—who turns 30 this month—Perry's smarts and sense of humor are as bold as her style (page 314). Also in this issue, Alexander Wang gives a 24-hour snapshot of his life (page 156); Isabel Marant answers Bazaar readers' questions (page 130); Ralph Rucci recalls his days in Halston's atelier (page 246); Brooke Shields opens up about her late mom, Teri (page 252); and Patti Smith muses on longtime friend Ann Demeulemeester (page 240). Elsewhere, we escape to the French estate of the Parisian gallerist Agnès Monplaisir (page 263); Carolyn Murphy divulges her Detroit hot spots (page 236); Lupita Nyong'o talks culture (page 242); Chloë Grace Moretz dishes…

"On tour I wear two things: either my pizza onesie from Beloved or my Adidas tracksuit with matching slides," says Katy Perry, describing the first of her three key looks—"sporty behind closed doors, '90s in the street, and couture on the carpet." For the other two, the pop star stocks her closet (which is actually a two-car garage) with Chanel, Ashish, and Fausto Puglisi. And for instant beauty, the CoverGirl spokesperson swears by its Clump Crusher mascara. But the hallmark of Perry's plucky style is her ever-changing candy-colored hair. "Right now I'm Oscar the Grouch green," she says. Perry recharges by practicing Transcendental Meditation; listening to Ferras, the first artist signed to her new label; and sticking to a strict pre-bed ritual. "I take off all my makeup with Shu…

Proenza Schouler's In the Swim GREAT NEWS FOR SUN CHASERS—one of our favorite design duos, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler, are making their first foray into swimwear this month. The pair's pared-down, architectural bikinis and sleek cutout suits (plus pareos and spot-on espadrilles) are everything we hoped and more. The designers often reference the surf scene as an inspiration, so the decision to launch the line, in their words, "happened very organically." "We both grew up in urban areas where you couldn't really go surfing, so skateboarding was more of a thing, and at the time it was very influenced by surf culture. It was a fantasy world to us, like the movie The Endless Summer," they say. "It's the aesthetic that we are attracted to, the…

COCO CHANEL EARLY LIFE "In a rare moment of candor, Chanel told Louise de Vilmorin: 'A loveless childhood developed in me a violent need to be loved. This need … explains, I think, my whole life. … I consider my success as proof of love, and I like to think that, when people love what I create, they are loving me as well, loving me through my creations.' " POVERTY "The only way to outwit her fate, she grasped, would be to acquire her own wealth: 'I was a child in revolt. Proud people desire only one thing: freedom. But to be free, one must have money.' " SUITORS "No man would rob her of her life. Work would save her. She told Vilmorin, 'When I realized that my business…

CONTOUR MAKEUP is back, big-time. (Think Gucci Girls, not Rocky Horror.) Highlighting and shading "can take years off your face and give you structure that's not actually there," says makeup artist Sonia Kashuk. While the look may seem intimidating, "keep it simple with three products," adds Clinique Global Colour Artist Jenna Menard: a sculpting product or bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Apply foundation, then follow these steps. ASSEMBLE YOUR KIT The goal is to emulate your skin's natural tones so your results look "as real as possible," says Kashuk. For the deepest "shading" color, you'll need a sculpting product or a matte bronzer two shades darker than your skin (nothing orange-based or shimmery). Use your favorite rosy blush, then choose a pearlized silver or gold highlighter. Keep the textures consistent throughout.…

"THIRTY-EIGHT," KATY PERRY is saying. "I still have about 90 to go." She's not talking about finishing a book; rather it's how many concerts she has completed on her Prismatic world tour, which kicked off in May. Thirty-eight nights of Kissing-a-California-Girl-Birthday-Fireworking it, now on a two-night stopover in Boston. And 90-something of those are left, finishing in Stockholm on March 22 next year. At 2 P.M. (Perry's morning, her "working hours" run from 2 P.M. to 2 A.M.), she's sitting on the sofa in her penthouse suite in black workout clothes, her hair (presently "Oscar the Grouch green") slicked back, oatmeal in hand, and a precisely applied blob of pimple cream on her chin. "I wore it for you," she announces grandly. This, in a nutshell, is how Perry (total…

A SWIPE OF LIPSTICK can put a smile on your face, but when it comes to beating true depression, beauty products usually don't do the trick. Enter Botox, the forehead-smoothing toxin that can erase fine lines, stop sweating, and even squelch migraines. It turns out that a vial may have the power to make you happier—and not just because your wrinkles have disappeared. Sarah, 47, had struggled with major depression since she was 21 years old. She'd tried endless hours of talk therapy as well as a raft of antidepressants. Though the meds helped to some extent, her sadness remained dominant. That's when a postcard arrived in the mail, seeking participants for a depression study associated with Georgetown University that involved using Botox. Despite having few frown lines, Sarah was…

IN THE WORLD of lingerie, there's a fine line between risqué and risky. The right stuff promises to make you feel powerful and alluring. But one false step and instead of Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour, you're an extra in Showgirls. As the Italian luxury lingerie brand La Perla celebrates its 60th anniversary, we asked the company's North America CEO Suzy Biszantz and global marketing director, Nick Tacchi, to share their expertise on what is—and isn't—sexy in the world of intimates. First things first: Fit and fabric are everything. Unless you nail these, it's curtains. Yet proper bra sizing continues to elude most of us. In brief, you should be able to slip a finger under the band when it's hooked at the loosest setting. A professional fitting could…

Glenda Bailey on the well-spent dollar Shopping is always a thrill. That's why, two years ago, we introduced ShopBAZAAR.com, an online store that allows readers to buy pieces right off our pages—a natural extension of the style and innovation that Bazaar is all about. To celebrate the e-store's anniversary, we've added even more shoppable content to the magazine, and every piece you see in this issue's "Work the Look" section is available on ShopBAZAAR.com. The rest of the magazine is peppered with the familiar B icons (as I like to say, "B" is for Buy). We want to make shopping easier for you—and faster. Of course, there's nothing more gratifying than a good value, which is why this issue is dedicated to the Well-Spent Dollar. The theme was inspired by…

SMILE FOR THE CAMERA MICHAEL KORS'S mini Janey bag may have been in-spired by analog camera cases, but it's built for the digital generation. "I love the shape and structure of those old camera bags, but given that our phone is now our camera, this is the bag to make you edit," he explains. Consider this an opportunity to streamline your arsenal to include just the essentials. "It's also a rugged add-on to fall's romantic and powdery fashion palette," Kors says of the style, referencing its range-ready French calf leather, thick whipstitch detailing, and stirrup-like buckle. The only dilemma? Deciding whether to wear that long strap over your shoulder or across the body. Either way, it's reason enough to strike a pose. Michael Kors bag, $595.

The idea is to fit in, not blend in. Your individuality is one of the reasons you were hired. Every job, from buyer to banker, has its own version of the Too Corporate Look. And every rookie has a story about the time she wore it. Mine involves an interview at the BBC in London. I was an English undergraduate, and for reasons best known to my career adviser (who clearly wasn't an expert on sartorial matters), I wore a suit. That was bad enough. The shoulders could have poked your eye out. The skirt reached Toronto. We didn't get the job. The buzz-phrase back then was "power dressing"—conservative, no-nonsense, authoritative. Now, though, dressing for work is about soft power—the ability to co-opt rather than coerce—which translates more or less…

ANN DEMEULEMEESTER was born in Waregem, a medieval municipality of Belgium, which lies in the valley of the Leie River. It is a place once driven by the flax industry, with a history of spinners and weavers. Ann roamed the Flemish countryside, finding peace in the shadowy groves … When she was sixteen she bought a record called Horses. The girl on the album cover wore a white shirt and a black ribbon. Within her poems and songs she reached for her own kind—the purveyors of anarchy and transformation. The girl of Flanders felt her words and somehow knew her. There was an alchemical sense of kinship, of paths converging … [Years later,] on the other side of the world, shadows fell on the girl who had recorded Horses. With…

This picture was actually taken in Israel, for a bathing suit campaign. I wish my legs still looked like that. I was 17—it's before Mom got her face-lift—and I'd been modeling my whole life. At this point I was almost retired! My mother came on all my shoots, and we went everywhere together. I didn't have any other agents or managers or anything. I wasn't even with Ford anymore; I had left and gone off on my own. My mother was always fixing my hair or poking at me, or motioning at me to do something. I was her little doll. But I love our smiles in this picture; they're both very genuine. And look at the body language: I have complete surrender. My arms are back, my hands are…

Agnès Monplaisir scales the main house at La Paillardière. Oscar de la Renta gown. shopBAZAAR.com. FASHION EDITOR: Joanna Hillman The first time Agnès Monplaisir laid eyes on La Paillardière, a vast country estate just over an hour by car from her bustling art gallery in Paris, she was being courted by its owner, the French property developer Christian Pellerin. "We were driving very slowly through these enormous trees, and there were fruits everywhere—raspberries, strawberries," she says. "Everything smelled so fresh, and I could hear thousands of birds. And I thought, If a man has a place like this, why does he need me?" She laughs. "It made me feel very small." Her worries subsided when they pulled up to the main house, a brick-and-stucco château swarming with ivy and surrounded…

A FEW YEARS BACK, a friend wrote in a story for New York magazine that I was going to have a luxury face-lift that spring. "All told, it will cost her $30,000, including recovery in a fancy hotel and a private nurse attending to her every need." That was 2008, but as it turned out, I had no luxury—or, for that matter, budget—face-lift that year, or any year thereafter. Why? It's not because of any moral high ground I've sought, and it's certainly not because in my 60s I've calmly embraced getting older. The fact is, I'm afraid something will go wrong: that my daughter will have to tell people that her mom died getting a face-lift or—almost as awful—the surgeon will make a mistake and I won't look better,…

BEAUTY AND THE STOCK MARKET have one thing in common: The key to getting the best results is diversification. But with so many choices out there, it can be hard to figure out what is worth the investment (long-term payoff: younger-looking skin) and what makes sense to save on (short-term dividends: that new Yves Klein blue eyeliner). Here, beauty experts who have tried it all share their insider tips. COMPLEXION PERFECTERS "So much of what women spend big beauty dollars on—getting rid of wrinkles and brown spots—can be prevented," says New York dermatologist Elizabeth Hale. "Unless you commit to a strict regimen of sunblock and a retinoid, even the best in-office laser treatment is a waste of money." Hale's top retinoid pick: prescription Retin-A to boost collagen, lighten dark spots,…

Isabel Marant, Fall2014 People are obsessed with everything you design. What is your secret? Never being satisfied, and trying on every piece I'm creating and wondering if I'd want to wear it straightaway. Is it true that drinking carrot juice helps your tan? It is true. I've noticed that I tan easily without being in the sun when I drink a glass of carrot juice. I don't have a juice ritual. It really depends on what I am craving. You're famous for championing women's natural beauty. Were you ever self-conscious about your appearance? Of course, like all women, I'm self-conscious. I'm also conscious that we will all get older, so I try to feel at ease with myself. I hate spending time in a beauty salon or at the hairdresser,…

The designer's life by the numbers 300 e-mails 40 scents sniffed 1. workout per month 7:30 A.M. I wake up to a really annoying ring on my phone because I'm a deep sleeper. I barely have my eyes open and I'm flipping through texts and e-mails; people have already e-mailed from Paris. 8:30 A.M. I wash my face with Clé de Peau face wash, put on RéVive moisturizer, brush my teeth, get ready, and then walk to work. My closet is like a uniform—I could sleepwalk into it, and my right hand would pull out black jeans, and my left would pull out my T-shirt. I have more than 50 pairs of black jeans, and my closet is filled with black shirts: my slouchy black, my stiff black, my dressy…

Breaking news: I love denim. Always have, always will. More than pinot noir, some ex-boyfriends, and auxiliary members of my family. I've written many odes to my denim darlings, and if I find fabulous new jeans, well, my Twitter is all atwitter. I grew up in denim, but now, happily, it looks like denim has grown up with me. For resort, those sweet, thoughtful designers heard my siren call for dressed-up denim—denim that goes to work, to dinner, to cocktails—and produced a veritable buffet of polished retro-tinged denim looks. (Okay, maybe Miuccia Prada, Frida Giannini, and Tomas Maier weren't thinking about me, but I am an only child.) Perhaps it has something to do with the 1970s vibe coursing through fashion, kicked off with its swinging '60s sister for fall.…

FINE-JEWELRY firms usually inhabit the European epicenters of Milan and Paris. But in the case of John Hardy jewelry—which has just tapped the model Cara Delevingneto be its glamorous new face—thecompany's headquarters overlooks not the Via Condotti or the Place Vendôme but the rice fields of Bali. John Hardy, the company's founder and namesake, was a young art student when he first traveled to the idyllic Indonesian island in 1975, and promptly fell in love with the lush jungle surroundings and handcrafting traditions of its people. Hardy decided then and there that he wanted to create jewelry that captured the essence of Bali's mystical charm. One of his first pieces, the Classic Chain bracelet—which remains a top seller—aptly reflects that, using a signature Balinese chainweaving technique. Fast-forward four decades, and…

I discovered Halston in the '70s when I was at NYU. I found myself wandering Madison Avenue, where Halston had a boutique on 68th Street. It was the chicest thing in the world. No one at the time had boutiques that far uptown; he took an old brassiere store, cut away the front of the building, and made a trapezoidal glass door. He was a revolutionary. I knew I wanted to work for him, so I concocted a plan: I took my sister, Rosina, to Halston's made-to-order department, and I said to her, "We are going to order something." She tried on a sample-size white cashmere jumpsuit, backless. The woman who helped us was named Sassy Johnson; she still comes to my shows. My sister was young and working, and…

TRICKS TOTHICKER HAIR Pump up the volume for good with these serious solutions and quick-fix treatments Volumizing sprays and dry shampoos are great for giving fine hair a boost. But for many women, the problem goes beyond just limp-looking strands. Thinning hair is a serious issue "that's as common for women as it is for men," says Nicole Rogers, a New Orleans dermatologist and hair-transplant surgeon. In fact, half of all women will experience it at some point in their lives. While it's normal to shed between 50 and 150 hairs a day, "anything more can be cause for concern," adds Marnie Nussbaum, a New York dermatologist. We like to blame it on hormones, stress, and poor nutrition, but in reality it's hereditary hair loss (most often spotted on the…

If you feel like the last woman left battling wrinkles, brown spots, and sagging skin without the help of injections or lasers, you may be surprised to learn you're not alone. Reality check: Only about 5 percent of women in the U.S. had Botox, fillers, or laser treatments in 2013, based on American Society of Plastic Surgeons statistics. Which means most of us are just, well, hitting the bottle. Here are the products that really work. ERASE PIGMENT WHETHER sun spots or acne marks, pigment issues affect women of all ages. "It can take time to treat, so don't give up," says New York dermatologist Anne Chapas. For UV damage, scan labels for vitamin C (a skin brightener) and resorcinol (an exfoliator) in formulas that contain SPF, "to prevent future…

DIE-HARD SPINNERS are jumping off their bikes and on to … rowing machines? Yes, it's true. Call it the fitness trend that no one predicted, but suddenly boutique rowing studios are opening at a fast pace across the country and loads of converts are swearing off cycling classes. "I drank the Spin Kool-Aid like so many—but after a year I plateaued and no longer saw the results I wanted," says Hilary Rainey, 26, a manager at a nonprofit. She's a regular at New York's CityRow studio, going twice a week, and has lost 11 pounds in just under two months. Jessica Luftig, 38, a project manager, has gone three to four times a week religiously since February in lieu of TRX Suspension Training and barre-toning classes and dropped 25 pounds.…

Lauren Bacall—then known as Betty Bacal, as named by her Romanian mother, Natalie Weinstein-Bacal—was just a gangly 18-year-old acting student when she appeared on the March 1943 cover of Harper's Bazaar. She got there by way of Nicolas de Gunzburg, an editor at the magazine, whom she'd met the previous November at Tony's, a tiny club in Manhattan (they'd both gone to watch Mabel Mercer sing cabaret). He made an appointment for Bacall to see Bazaar's fashion editor, Diana Vreeland, about modeling. "I was scared to death," Bacall wrote of that meeting in her 2005 memoir, By Myself and Then Some. But a few days later, Vreeland booked her for a shoot with the photographer Louise Dahl-Wolfe. As Bacall remembers, Vreeland "put a suit on me, told me which makeup…
