JUNIOR SEALY PHOTOGRAPHER: “Goodbye to All That” Page 122 “When I’m around people with the same ethos and energy of creation and preservation of the beautiful spaces we inhabit on earth.” LEAH FAYE COOPER WRITER: “Goodbye to All That” Page 122 “My older sister and I both live in New York City, and I feel most at home when I’m at her house. She and her husband are amazing hosts and incredible parents to my niece and nephew, whom I adore. I spend as much time at their place as I can.” HEJI SHIN PHOTOGRAPHER: “Come as You Are” Page 114 “When I am simply in the company of my family. There isn’t any other sensibility quite like being surrounded by those you love. My family are the coolest, most…

MOTHER X CAROLYN MURPHY The supermodel’s Americana-themed capsule gives Mother’s damaged goods and overruns a cool vintagey do-over. The 14 upcycled pieces include the denim brand’s signature Tomcat jeans and trucker jackets spliced together with quilting. Proceeds from the collection benefit the Sierra Club. HACKER PROJECT As a response to Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele’s “GG” canvas-covered take on the Balenciaga Hourglass bag, Michele’s Balenciaga counterpart (and Kering compatriot) Demna Gvasalia has returned the favor, adding “BB” branding and hand-tagged graffiti to monogrammed Gucci bags. “GILLIAN WEARING: WEARING MASKS” Wearing’s Guggenheim retrospective, opening November 5, traces the artist’s enduring fascination with the performative nature of identity. More than 100 pieces on display span from ’90s Polaroids to her latest masked self-portraits, including a Mona Lisa homage, a version of which…

FOR NEARLY 200 YEARS, Guerlain has looked to nature to inspire its range of beauty products, and the new Abeille Royale Advanced Youth Watery Oil is no exception. With 95 percent naturally derived ingredients,1 this is most advanced product in the Abeille Royale line, thanks to a proprietary blend of sustainably sourced honeys. AN INNOVATIVE TEXTURE Guerlain researchers sought to create a new delivery system that has the silkiness of an oil and is as refreshing as a toner. How they achieved this unique formulation is under lock and key, but the net result is an innovative watery facial oil that feels like nothing else. The formula also includes teeny bubbles—Commiphora-oil microbeads—that melt on contact with the skin, providing extra moisture. SUPERIOR HONEY The secret weapon within every bottle is…

There’s a meme of Tracee Ellis Ross that is always making the rounds on social media. She’s in a pool, leaning against its side, looking impossibly glamorous; with a promising blue sky behind her and her hair slicked back, she holds a tumbler of crystalline liquid forward in a languorous toast to the camera. It’s a visual lingua franca for a lot of things: a beacon of ease, sophistication, style; an icon of the rich-auntie aesthetic—that is, a celebration of a woman who lives as much for her own interests and desires as she does for creating a sense of family with those she chooses. All things that signify a woman who has made for herself a good life. “I kind of find it flattering,” she tells me. “But [social…

FEATURED TRACKS 1 “GOT ’TIL IT’S GONE” Janet Jackson 2 “LOVELY DAY” Robert Glasper Experiment 3 “TOMORROW’S DUST” Tame Impala 4 “THIS IS ME TRYING” Taylor Swift In September, she released her debut album, Dawn, which was inspired by her late mother and the promise of a new day. Produced by Mark Ronson, the project touches on pop, jazz, blues, and R&B and features collaborators such as A$AP Rocky, Questlove, and Kaytranada. Smith, 26, has previously lent her vocals to tracks by the likes of Sam Smith, Drake, and Ed Sheeran, winning a Grammy in 2019 for her performance on PJ Morton’s “How Deep Is Your Love.” For this issue, she curated a playlist around the theme of home that includes Janet Jackson’s 1997 hit single “Got ’Til It’s Gone”…

WHEN IT COMES TO THE ART OF JEWELRY MAKING, ANCIENT TECHNIQUES LIKE ENAMELING STAND THE TEST OF TIME, inspiring contemporary jewelry designers to create imaginative pieces. ShopBAZAAR retail partner, Marissa Collections CEO, and jewelry expert Jay Hartington highlights the new brands and designers modernizing enamel and shares what makes this edit the most coveted and mesmerizing treasure trove of the season. “It’s amazing to think that one of this season’s biggest trends is one of the world’s most ancient jewelry techniques. The smooth enamel finish adds texture and refinement to the product, whether used to offset diamonds or complement an array of gemstones.” “There’s so much to love from each designer. Inspired by pop culture, Bea Bongiasca’s collection is a visual wonderland of saturated colors and vivid gemstones. And Lebanese…

TWO THINGS HAPPENED at the end of this summer that seemed irreconcilable. The first one is that in the midst of a historic drought, following months of record-breaking heat waves and a fire season that generally peaks in the fall but was already well underway in August, more than 1.5 million acres of California burned to the ground. “Every acre can, and will, burn someday in this state,” the state fire chief said. “Be ready now.” The second is that my boyfriend and I decided to remodel our kitchen in a house in a Northern California town that has a pretty good chance of burning down at some point in the not-so-distant future. We know this because we have been breathing in smoke all summer and because we have been…

GIVEN THE UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS of pandemic-related stress pervading our lives, is it any wonder some of us just want to float away? Baths offer a moment of escape and solitude when getting away from it all feels impossible. According to Pinterest, searches for “spiritual cleansing bath” rose 180 percent last year. Baths have been shown to actually make us feel calmer: Research has linked hydrotherapy with everything from lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol to higher levels of the mood-stabilizing hormone serotonin. Those mood-stabilizing benefits may seem more urgently needed than ever, but various cultures the world over have long relied on the healing properties of the bath. Here, what we can learn from their traditions to take better care of ourselves, inside and out. The SEA VITAMIN WATER…

HOPE IN THE DARK Dramatic fragrances are making a rightful return to the beauty world. One of the best is Hope Night, now available in a lush body butter ($75). Enriched with coconut oil and shea butter, it immediately melts into the skin, leaving behind notes of vanilla, amber, and patchouli hours after application. (Though indulgent, the luxe texture leaves skin velvety, never greasy, so it won’t muss up silk slipdresses or satin pillowcases.) Even better, 100 percent of profits go to the Hope for Depression Research Foundation. TAKE GOOD CARE Lip balm is essential this time of year, but you can always level up. Makeup artist Jillian Dempsey (known for her work with Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst) went over the top with her brand’s Lip Locket Necklace ($485–$945).…

MELVIN SOKOLSKY NOVEMBER 1963 IN THE 1960S, MELVIN SOKOLSKY’S OTHERWORLDLY IMAGES brought a magical-realist flair to Harper’s Bazaar, featuring ambitious conceits that frequently required a mix of ingenuity, skill, and great luck to pull off. Sokolsky often looked to art for inspiration. Perhaps his most famous shoot for Bazaar, his March 1963 “bubble” story, was a riff on the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch’s 15thcentury triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights and involved encasing model Simone d’Aillencourt in a plexiglass orb suspended from a crane that made it appear like it was floating in and around the streets of Paris. For a skiwear shoot that same year, Sokolsky took a cue from the surreal scale at play in René Magritte’s 1952 painting Personal Values, which depicted the contents of a bedroom—a…

IN JUST THREE SHORT YEARS, Bessie Afnaim Corral and Oliver Corral had achieved what many young designers only dream of. By February 2020, their label, Arjé, known and beloved for its trophy-status shearling jackets and coats, was being carried by every major retailer, from Net-A-Porter to Selfridges. Then the first wave of Covid-19 lockdowns hit. No one was shopping for clothes, let alone a $3,000 shearling; everyone was stuck at home. As retailers started canceling orders, the Corrals, who met as co–head designers of Donna Karan’s Urban Zen (and are now married), made a radical decision: They would pivot to selling homewares and ultimately liquidate their clothing archives. Despite having no formal interior-design training, the Corrals channeled their creative energies into gut renovating the Manhattan one-bedroom duplex that previously served…

When Marc Jacobs underwent a face-lift this summer, he took a selfie the very next day—gauze head wrap, plastic drains coming out from either side—and posted it to Instagram with the caption “#f*ckgravity.” The fashion world did a collective double take: someone of Jacobs’s stature actually being honest that self-care could go beyond yogic breathing and a gratitude journal? But also, Marc Jacobs got a face-lift? Unlike Botox or plumping fillers, face-lifts just haven’t received the same widespread acceptance in recent years, which is why many people’s perception of the procedure is frozen in time. One of the last major celebs to be so open about having a facelift was Joan Rivers. (“I fart through my ears,” she said back in 2013.) The reality is that results lately have gotten…

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22 Others might think you’re too fond of the sound of your own voice if you let yourself be convinced you’re an expert in nearly everything. Remember, your peers prize modesty over arrogance. LUCKY DAY: THE 30TH. Giving a stranger a helping hand enriches your life. SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23–DECEMBER 21 Trust your instincts about somebody’s character; your good judgment will put you in a position of great influence. Without being too controlling, show that you won’t stand for any nonsense. LUCKY DAY: THE 17TH. Dramatic developments bring out the best in you. CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20 While you may want to take care of a vulnerable individual, don’t encourage total dependency. Explain that you can help, but you also must keep an eye on other areas you’re…

Turn on the TV or scroll through social media and you’re likely to see something—editors documenting Fashion Week on Instagram, The Devil Wears Prada on Hulu (again), an #OOTD on TikTok—that would suggest that the fashion industry is the most exciting and glamorous field you could possibly work in. And that’s true—until, of course, it’s not. A decade ago, to anyone in fashion or even outside looking in, Amanda Brooks, then the women’s fashion director for Barneys New York, and Shala Monroque, then the creative director of Garage magazine and personal muse and consultant to Miuccia Prada, were major players: front-row fixtures at fashion shows, at every party, jet-setting between London, Paris, Milan, and New York. And then, as ubiquitous as they’d been, they were gone. THEIR STORIES ARE NOT…
