Innholdsfortegnelse for February 2022 i Harper's Bazaar

THERE IS SOMETHING inherently optimistic about fashion: the idea that each season, designers dream up new and exciting visions of the future. Sometimes those visions are practical. Sometimes they’re political. Occasionally, they reference periods and ideas from the past. But the one thing that frequently connects them is the notion that there will be a better tomorrow—a time when we’ll be able to live more of what we aspire to today—and there is something joyful about that. We decided to make joy the theme of this issue because it has been difficult to come by for a lot of us over the past couple of years. But that is precisely why finding joy is such an important part of life right now. Our friends bring us joy. So do our…

After so many months in confinement, to travel, to set foot in a foreign land or a place we’ve known forever, and engage in the world again feels electrifying. Perhaps the pandemic’s silver lining is that after our senses have lain dormant for so long, we’ve tapped back into a wide-eyed wanderlust—whether that’s visiting an ancient site we’ve only dreamt about, taking in a spectacular beach sunset, or sipping a favorite aperitif in a beloved brasserie. This is a moment to think about how we travel rather than where we go. It’s an opportunity to head out with purpose and consideration, but also with a spirit of adventure. With Covid-19 now a fixture in our lives, there are, of course, still risks and challenges that come with travel: endless airport…

SEX IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF A FULFILLING LIFE, according to Emily Morse, a sex therapist best known for her hugely popular podcast, Sex With Emily. “The more we talk about it, the more we release any shame or baggage around it,” she says. The responsibility for an amazing sex life also rests on our own shoulders. “We usually measure our sexual capabilities in reference to a partner, but we can learn so much about ourselves by being with ourselves.”…

It was the anger that first caught my attention. As a young feminist, I found it easy and satisfying to sing “I’ve had it up to here” at the top of my lungs along with Gwen Stefani. But my affinity for fury soon gave way to a preference for a kind of introspective sadness. It was a rainy night (no, really) when I went with my dad to the record store and he let me pick something out for myself. I came home with Fiona Apple’s seminal 1996 album, Tidal. The rumbling drums at the opening of the first song, “Sleep to Dream,” were like a battle cry: “I tell you how I feel, but you don’t care / I say tell me the truth, but you don’t dare,” Apple…

My son and I have a weekend ritual. We like to get up and make pancakes together. There doesn’t need to be an occasion, and it’s not a complicated thing to do. But it always feels like this little gift, this time we have together doing something that brings us both such immense joy. And that’s what joy often feels like: a gift and a reminder that there are good things—great ones, even—that can and do happen every day. Joy is the theme of this issue. It goes without saying that the past two years have not been particularly joyous. But that’s why finding joy might be even more crucial right now. Joy doesn’t need to be momentous; it doesn’t mean everything will be okay. But it can be an…

MOLLY LAMBERT WRITER: “Valley Girl,” page 83 “Nature.” JOSH OLINS PHOTOGRAPHER: “Valley Girl,” page 83 “I find joy in simple things: an early morning making a coffee at sunrise; the satisfaction of physical work, especially in the garden; traveling to new and familiar places. Above all, spending time in nature and the ocean is the biggest provider of joy in my life.” TONY IRVINE STYLIST: “Valley Girl,” page 83 “My journey and goal right now is that I try to find joy within rather than seeking it from outside sources.” MAURA EGAN WRITER: “The Eye Has to Travel,” page 70 “Joy to me is the world opening back up, but especially here in New York—from the happy chaos of Brooklyn playgrounds to overcrowded downtown bars to even touristy Times Square.…

With a sculptural design that elegantly wraps from the front of the earlobe to the back, these glittering earrings from 302 Fine Jewelry offer a distinctly modern twist on the classic hoop. Each one features 16 lab-grown diamonds in graduating sizes set in 14-karat white gold, for an artfully refined finish.…

Early on in the pandemic, being able to make people laugh began to take on a new kind of urgency. Providing a release from the uncertainty, stress, sorrow, and trauma of the times was a gift, one the comics of Saturday Night Live took seriously. Cast member Ego Nwodim likens putting on the show then—at first virtually and then in front of limited audiences—to a “call to duty.” But what may have once seemed like a “just for now” way of working has become the new normal. When we decided on joy as the theme for this issue, we immediately thought of Nwodim, Bowen Yang, and Cecily Strong, three of SNL’s cast members, who in the past year have been responsible for some of the show’s most memorably laugh-out-loud moments.…

AT SOME POINT in the distant future, it will be difficult to identify the precise moment when we began to even contemplate the prospect of a post-pandemic life. But the Spring 2022 runways may offer a clue. Offering a bold new wave of body consciousness, the shows were a radical departure from the oversize layers that have dominated the high-fashion conversation in the decade since Phoebe Philo’s Céline made it cool to be covered up. There were bras everywhere: dainty triangle ones at Fendi worn under tailored blazers and cropped bombers, sporty ones at Dior paired with silk boxing shorts, boob tape as tops at Vaquera and Missoni. For Miuccia Prada, bras seemed to be an idée fixe; she paired push-ups with low-riding skirts at Miu Miu and inserted underwires…

Soo Hugh didn’t want to read Pachinko. The 2017 novel by Korean American author Min Jin Lee tells the story of a Korean family over 80 years and four generations. Sunja, the novel’s protagonist and the family’s matriarch, is born in the 1910s in Japanese-colonized Busan, Korea, and migrates to Osaka, Japan. The family are Zainichi, Koreans living in Japan, who are subject to discrimination and bullying. Pachinko, which gets its name from the arcade-style gambling game (Sunja’s family ultimately ends up operating pachinko parlors in Osaka), was named one of the 10 best books of 2017 by The New York Times. It was a finalist for a National Book Award. Hugh was aware of the buzz, and even though she is a Korean American herself, something held her back…

In 2020, Evans dropped his soulful debut EP, Take Time, featuring the single “Heartbreak Anniversary,” which was nominated last year for a Grammy. Appearances on Drake’s hit “Chicago Freestyle” and Justin Bieber’s chart-topping “Peaches” followed. Now Evans is gearing up to release his first full-length album, which he says will provide a window on his world since his meteoric rise. “It’s about what it’s like to go through romance and life in general with this newfound attention,” he explains. “It’s about me trying to figure out who I can trust and what’s authentic.” For this issue, the 26-year-old Long Beach, California, native curated a playlist around the theme of joy by selecting songs that he associates with bright, warm colors. Along with Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness,” Evans included “Good…

Along with some of Ringgold’s early paintings from the 1960s, which boldly address racism and sexism in mid-20th-century America, the exhibition will feature a selection of her figurative soft sculptures and narrative quilts documenting the Black experience.

It used to be that sussing out a great shampoo meant surreptitiously removing the cap in the store and giving it a little sniff. Today, an amazing fragrance, great texture—these are simply table stakes. Consumers expect more from their products; they read the labels and want to know which ingredients really work, says L.A.-based stylist David Lopez. As a result, he adds, “we’re seeing more brands based in the science of hair care. It’s not just about looking pretty.” These new tech-forward products are also responding to the desire to protect healthy hair that was restored by gentler pandemic regimens (read: fewer products and less heat). “So many of my clients adopted low-maintenance routines or grew out their hair,” Lopez says. Now that wash cycles and heat styling have returned,…

THE ICONIC IMAGE of a then-26-year-old Carmen Dell’Orefice suspended mid-leap over a puddle on a cobblestone Paris street corner is a variation on one that appeared in the September 1957 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. It was shot by Richard Avedon for a story about that year’s fall collections. At the time, Dell’Orefice had never worked with Avedon, and as she told Bazaar in 2018, the magazine’s fashion editor, Diana Vreeland, had to talk him into using her for the shoot. “Diana twisted his arm,” Dell’Orefice, now 90, said. “He was besotted with model Suzy Parker, who was a close friend of mine and a year younger.” (Both women wound up participating in the session.) The title Avedon gave the picture of Dell’Orefice offered a nod to one of his formative…
