Innehållsförteckning för October 2020 från Harper's Bazaar

IN FASHION, fall is traditionally a time of renewal, when designers present their visions for the future in the form of the season’s collections. This year, of course, they, like many of us, have been wrestling with how to make sense of the present: a period when a global pandemic, movements for racial justice and equality, a deepening climate crisis, and a pivotal election season have all transformed the way we live, see ourselves, and think about our lives. It’s a moment of change that can feel thrust upon us but also a rare one when we have the opportunity to invent a better future—for ourselves, others, and the world. If there is a theme that runs through this issue, it’s that the sparks that ignite real change—whether you’re a…

Julie Mehretu’s richly layered paintings, often formed through the accretion of colorful lines and brushstrokes over architectural plans and drawings, have explored themes such as race, history, migration, revolution, global capitalism, and technology for more than two decades. Now, the Ethiopian-American artist’s first career survey arrives at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art on October 23, before traveling to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York next year. It showcases the evolution of Mehretu’s abstract style through a selection of works, including a reunited cycle of monumental ink-and-acrylic canvases from 2012 called “Mogamma (A Painting in Four Parts),” each of which stands 15 feet tall.…

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23 Fears about a family or financial arrangement won’t be entirely unfounded, but they’ll be easier to manage than you might imagine. Listen to those who offer ways of keeping disruptions to a minimum. And a pleasant distraction for you can put things in perspective. LUCKY DAY: The 1st. Someone else’s story sets you on a new path. VIRGO AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 Creative, cultural, or romantic ventures will appeal to you, but heed an inner voice telling you that you shouldn’t overspend or overindulge. If you misjudge a situation and throw caution to the wind, you’ll disappoint those whose opinions matter most to you. LUCKY DAY: The 20th. Suggestions by influential people work out in your favor. LEO JULY 24–AUGUST 23 By reminding others of the value…

Since its launch in 2006, Byredo has been the darling of the fashion world: Everything that founder Ben Gorham touches has a kind of minimalist chic about it, and Byredo’s two newest collections are no exception. Its first cosmetic line is a collaboration with avant-garde makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench. Our favorites: the lipsticks, which look like mini objets d’art and offer smooth, silky color. Gorham has also teamed up with superstar hairstylist Jen Atkin. Her brand, Ouai, has a new dry shampoo infused with Mojave Ghost, Byredo’s floral musk scent.…

IT MAY COME as no surprise that Rashida Jones, whose choices over her two-decade-plus career have earned her a reputation as a cerebral presence in Hollywood, has not been coping with the pandemic by watching Selling Sunset or doing the TikTok wine challenge. “I’m trying to pick up some life skills along the way, like patience, gratitude, and meditation, and use this time to cook and be a little bit better of a human being,” says the 44-year-old actor, writer, and producer, who appears on our Zoom call in tortoiseshell blue-light glasses and gold hoop earrings as she recounts how she’s spent the past few months. She’s taken a music theory class online. She’s been reading the philosopher Hannah Arendt and listening to the true-crime podcast To Live and Die…

For its new Artycapucines capsule collection, Louis Vuitton tapped six prominent creatives, including Los Angeles painter Henry Taylor, to add their signatures to its top-handle bags. Known for his vibrant scenes that capture members of his local community, Taylor chose his 2017 portrait of the late artist and curator Noah David, who cofounded the Underground Museum, an alternative art space in Central L.A., for the project. “I’m sure Noah would get a kick out of people carrying the bag, asking themselves, ‘Who’s that on my bag?’” says Taylor. “I could have put Dr. Martin Luther King or Bob Marley on the bag, but I like the idea of putting Noah in the mix and having people inquire about him.” Louis Vuitton Artycapucines by Henry Taylor bag. 866-VUITTON.…

“I like to say there’s a new skin tone born every day,” says Balanda Atis, head of L’Oréal USA’s Multicultural Beauty Lab. IN A MOMENT marked by frank cultural conversations about race, identity, and representation, cosmetic companies have responded by revamping their approaches to address audiences that the industry has for too long ignored and underserved. In 2017, Lancôme expanded its Teint Idole Ultra Range to 40 shades, famously followed by Fenty Beauty—and that number has now become a benchmark. But creating makeup in a greater diversity of skin tones is just the tip of the iceberg in an industry-wide transformation that’s been more than a decade in the making. The real story lies in part with Balanda Atis, a Black cosmetic chemist and head of L’Oréal USA’s Multicultural Beauty…

ON THE GO Covid-19 anxiety has caused a surge in acne. “The same pathways linked with stress also stimulate oil glands,” says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., a New York dermatologist. On top of that, face coverings cause “maskne,” pimples caused by friction from a mask rubbing against the skin. The technical term is acne mechanica, and it’s commonly seen in athletes who wear protective face gear. Our fix: Throughout the day, mist with a blemish-fighting spritz; it won’t disturb your makeup. On bare skin, a salicylic acid cleansing wipe works wonders. LASER-FOCUSED While lasers have become the standard in treating post-acne scars, Michelle Henry, M.D., a New York dermatologist, prescribes sessions for patients in the midst of a breakout. “I love to use a laser on my patients because it helps…

I hate asking celebrities about their personal lives, but I love celebrity gossip. I will happily read Bossip or Lainey Gossip or People, and idly speculate about celebrities and their romantic entanglements, real estate transactions, mistakes, or triumphs. And yet I don’t want to be the person who extracts this information. I don’t want to get my hands dirty. It makes me uncomfortable to pry, intrude, encroach. But still I am nosy. It’s a real predicament. Sarah Paulson is first and foremost an actor—and a formidable one at that. Over the course of her career, she has perfected the steely glare, the tight smile, the precisely arched eyebrow. Paulson has certainly found her lane, but when she has stretched her craft, she has done so with aplomb. In Ocean’s 8,…

ONE OF THE MOST fraught decisions a Black woman must make before her first day at a new job is what to do with her hair. Should it be blown straight, worn natural, or braided? It should look “nice,” certainly, but in whose eyes? These thoughts, superficial though they may seem, are calculating the consequences of making the wrong move. Hair is just hair, but for some Black women in the workplace or even Black children at school hair is also a reason that they might be fired or expelled. It’s not uncommon for workplaces and schools to maintain dress and appearance guidelines. However, unlike clothing, which can be swapped out, hair is a living part of you, and it looks different from person to person. From there, styles—braids, locs,…

I’ve always deeply admired Maya Angelou. As they say, if you can’t see it, it’s hard to become it. Seeing Angelou’s star in the sky made my faraway dreams seem all the less remote. I am the descendant of a slave, also named Amanda, who would’ve been severely punished for reading and writing. The fact that I can write and create with joy and audacity is a gift that I try to pay forward. I have a thick book of Kerry James Marshall’s art on my coffee table. There’s something about his work, and how it places Black life and love at the forefront, that never ceases to amaze. I’m a Black woman with a powerful pen and a big heart, and I like my look to reflect that pride. I…

Nia DaCosta’s first feature, 2019’s Little Woods, was a female-centric Western that broke the mold. Now the director is following it up with a reimagining of Candyman, co-written and co-produced by nouveau horror master Jordan Peele. Out October 16, it’s a sequel to the 1992 cult slasher movie, set against the backdrop of racism and gentrification in Chicago. “Jordan let me do some really weird stuff—I learned how to be fearless,” says DaCosta, whose next project will be directing Captain Marvel 2, starring Brie Larson. “It’s about time women, especially women of color, are being given these opportunities,” she adds. “Companies are finally putting their money where their mouth is.”…

PUT ON YOUR SPANDEX. Working out at home is back—this time without the ’80s neon glow. Now, with gyms and studios closed or at limited capacity, many have rushed to provide virtual programming. Meanwhile, companies that were already established in the at-home market, like Peloton, have gotten a serious boost. (Its first-quarter revenue was up 66 percent year-over-year.) “I wouldn’t call this a trend,” says Robin Arzón, a Peloton instructor and vice president of fitness training. “It’s a new standard.” A CHANGE IN STRATEGY “I think the industry has lied to people, and this is a time of reckoning,” says Nike master trainer Joe Holder, who has been seen working out with Naomi Campbell on her IG Live. “You don’t need expensive gyms or fancy clothes. All you need is…

Easily the most highly anticipated launch of the year, Fenty Skin released a video on Instagram in July two weeks before the product drop. The clip featured Rihanna in a tropical location, skin aglow, luxuriating in the sun alongside models Paloma Elsesser and Halima Aden—as well as rappers A$AP Rocky and Lil Nas X. “I never approached skin care from a gender standpoint,” Rihanna said of the casting. “To me, the only thing that makes it different is the color of the packaging.” The beauty business—like so many others—is in a period of soul-searching on the matter of representation. Men have certainly been sold beauty products for decades, though they were often repackaged under the rubric of “grooming.” But for a brand as big as Fenty Skin to speak to…

In the waning days of summer, in a year that feels at once lost and consequential, Keisha Lance Bottoms has escaped from Atlanta. Sitting in the sunshine at her undisclosed retreat, surrounded by green trees and grass and casually dressed in a denim shirt, the city’s 60th leader is smiling and relaxed, looking younger than both her 50 years and what the past five months of her life as a mayor, mother, coronavirus survivor, and Black woman in America would suggest. When we spoke in late August, Bottoms was a woman between storms. She had just weathered the pandemic’s battering of her hometown, which has included a battle with Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, over their differing responses to the coronavirus. The state’s reopening has meant a fragile and cautious…

It’s the middle of August, and Radha Blank is down to the wire on post-production of her first feature film, The Forty-Year-Old Version. She has been scrambling to complete the movie over the past six months with her team on lockdown, her editing crew siloed on opposite coasts, the likelihood of any sort of traditional theatrical experience derailed for the foreseeable future by the pandemic. “It’s tough because I have to do tweaks and sound mixes remotely,” Blank tells me from an editing suite in downtown Manhattan. “My music supervisor is in another state. We’re all here wearing masks, sometimes working in separate rooms.” The Forty-Year-Old Version, which Blank wrote, directed, and stars in, and which premieres on Netflix this month, is the semi-autobiographical tale of a fictional Radha Blank,…
