Innehållsförteckning för November 2024 från Harper's Bazaar

WE OFTEN THINK that the most compelling voices are the ones that are the loudest—the people who come to dominate the conversation and rise above the din. But having a voice is about much more than volume. Social media has enabled important voices to be amplified, but there are still so many who feel drowned out by the noise. Sometimes their voices are the ones we most urgently need to hear. We exercise our voices in a variety of ways: by speaking out; at the ballot box; in how we choose to spend our time, dollars, and efforts; through our art and creative expression; in the ways we tell and share our stories and experiences; in the manner in which we support and stand by others, dress and present ourselves,…

GO DEEP WITH DOLLY PARTON Out November 15, the country singer’s latest effort, Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA—Family, Faith and Fables, is a sonic chronicle of her family lineage, featuring songs performed with her extended kin. The album will be followed by a four-part docuseries that traces Parton’s heritage. EXPLORE JEFFREY GIBSON’S WORLD “Power Full Because We’re Different,” opening at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art on November 3, is a sweeping exhibition from Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee artist Gibson, whose work celebrates queer and Indigenous communities. The show will include ornate garments, video pieces, and performances. CHECK YOURSELF Take a cue from La Veste, Miu Miu, and Dior and cozy up to a plaid midi skirt—with tights or socks for added warmth. SAVOR MARTHA STEWART’S 100TH BOOK…

Chopard’s new Haute Joaillerie capsule collection is the ultimate block party. An extension of the Swiss house’s Ice Cube collection—instantly recognizable for its artful use of square facets—it includes an 18-karat-rosegold necklace and a matching bracelet, each set with more than four carats of diamonds. Inspired by urban environments, the styles are minimalist and modern and shimmer like a city skyline at night.…

Maybe it started with Jane Birkin on the beach at Cannes in 1969, wearing a white crocheted crop top and white jeans. Or maybe it was at Woodstock the same year, with those hippies in their colorful vests and tangles of beads. To be sure, Kate Hudson as Penny Lane, in that shearling-collar coat and those peasant blouses in 2000’s Almost Famous, which was set in the ’70s rock world, brought it all back into focus. Boho fashion, in the contemporary sense, has murky origins. It only vaguely references the nomadic lifestyle of the Romani people for whom the French word bohemién was coined. (And that itself was a misattribution because the Romani people did not originate from the Bohemia region in the Czech Republic.) It has taken on a…

There’s a ghost in the Gucci archive. On a tour of the space, a 15th-century palazzo located on the left bank of the Arno River in Florence, Italy, I’m told that the ghost is thought to be the house’s founder, Guccio Gucci. Strange noises have been reported emanating from unoccupied rooms in the building. To be sure, this site has stories to tell. The former Gucci factory and workshop now contains primary artifacts from the house’s 103-year history, including Guccio Gucci’s Horsebit loafers, artist Vittorio Accornero’s Flora drawings, Tom Ford’s red velvet suit, and Alessandro Michele’s Dionysus bag. Taken together, they paint a picture of a globally renowned luxury brand. Currently at the helm, tasked with writing the next chapter for Gucci, sits 41-year-old Sabato De Sarno, now one year…

AS AN ARTIST, Judy Chicago has always made the idea of having a voice—and empowering others to use their own—central to her work. In the early 1970s, she established what is often considered the first university program in the U.S. dedicated to feminist art, at Fresno State, and she later helped create the Woman’s Building in Los Angeles, a studio and exhibition space for female artists. But Chicago’s ethos was most vividly captured in her best-known work, The Dinner Party (1979), an installation celebrating the achievements of 1,038 women throughout history, each of whom Chicago granted—both literally and figuratively—a seat at the table. (The piece now resides at the Brooklyn Museum.) For the November 2019 issue, Harper’s Bazaar enlisted Chicago to create a tribute to another monumental female figure, the…

November is one of my favorite issues to put together. It always feels personal to me, in part because it’s my anniversary issue; this one will mark four years for me at Harper’s Bazaar. But this issue is also special because it feels like an alchemy of everything we do: bringing disparate and urgent voices that deserve to be heard in dialogue together. Our Voices issue is anchored by a conversation between our cover star, Kendrick Lamar, who was photographed by Quentin De Briey and styled by our style director at large, Carlos Nazario, and SZA. How lucky are we to be able to hear from two of our most talented artists and truth tellers, opening up about the power of vulnerability, childhood wounds, and what “Not Like Us” really…

J.CREW X CHRISTOPHER JOHN ROGERS The New York designer’s bold new capsule collection for J.Crew fuses his sunny contemporary style with the retailer’s classic heritage. It includes items for both women and kids and features standout details like pleats and sequin embroidery, plus rainbow-hued cashmere knits and a bubble-gum-pink dress with red stripes at the hem. LAUREN HALSEY: EMAJENDAT The artist’s latest monograph celebrates her current exhibition of the same name at the Serpentine South gallery in London, showcasing her work exploring Black cultural expressions and community resilience. (Rizzoli/Electa) LITERARY SPORT The Toronto-based activewear brand, founded by M. Bechara and Deirdre Matthews, debuts this fall with a collection of shorts, tees, and quarter zips. The chic, elevated pieces are geared toward running but are designed to be worn for not…

You could spend days doing trials on various devices, professional treatments, and high-tech formulas designed to lift and firm the skin on your face, but necks get far less attention. Not only is the area below your jawline often neglected when it comes to skin solutions, but it’s far trickier to treat. “When people come in for a facelift, they always point to the neck and under-chin area first as their biggest issue,” says Reno, Nevada, plastic surgeon Erez Dayan. Take it from Nora Ephron and her 2006 book, I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman: There’s long been a desire to have a smooth, youthful neck, as the fragile skin in that area shows the first signs of aging. It’s why dermatologists always…

I was born in Missouri, which is affectionately known as the “Show-Me” state. Such Midwestern skepticism has its origins in a banquet speech from the late 1800s delivered by a congressman who decried eloquence and demanded proof. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been incredulous about ephemeral rituals like crystal healing, saging, and, yes, even the zodiac. You’re going to base your whole life around the way some stars millions of light-years away were aligned the day you were born? Really? Yet I’m such a big fan of Cleo Wade, the author and poet, and Nicole Richie, the actress and reality icon, that I found myself traveling to L.A. earlier this fall for Virgo Fest, which is how the duo refer to the annual dance party they throw to celebrate their September…

Twice a year, the international fashion flock descends on Paris to view the prêt-à-porter collections: Dior! Chanel! Balenciaga! Between runway presentations, everyone grabs lunch at a classic Parisian brasserie, sneaks in a shopping trip, and, after hours, dances in tiny boîtes like the one in the Hotel Amour. An editor’s version of Paris is as curated as the pages of a magazine, which is why we turned to Harper’s Bazaar’s fashion team, including editor in chief Samira Nasr, for some favorite Parisian haunts. It’s no surprise that Château Voltaire, the hotel currently beloved by the fashion crowd, was conceived by industry legend Thierry Gillier, founder of the popular French contemporary brand Zadig & Voltaire, who as far back as the ’90s was mixing sweatpants with cashmere and lace. He brought…

It’s a warm August night in Santa Monica, and Kendrick Lamar is sitting on a low sofa in a hotel suite as the sun sets behind him, very carefully speaking to SZA and me. It’s more than a little surreal to have Lamar, the closest thing this era of hip-hop has to a truth teller, leaning forward and looking intently first into SZA’s face, then mine, saying things like “I do believe in love and war, and I believe they both need to exist.” Lamar and SZA are, of course, two of the world’s biggest superstars, used to commanding stadiums full of fans. Lamar is the MC who many would argue keeps the soul of hip-hop alive. We are one year removed from the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, and the…
