Innholdsfortegnelse for April 2022 i Harper's Bazaar

FASHION IS ALL ABOUT MOMENTS, and right now we’re in the midst of one of transition. It’s early spring, which for many of us means the shedding of winter layers. But this season, it feels like we’re also somehow shedding the last vestiges of our lives in the pre-pandemic days. Returning to what we thought of as “normal” is no longer the dream. We finally seem to be looking ahead at both the issues right in front us and what might lie beyond them, living in the space between the irrefutable end of something and the blurry fuzz of potential. It’s a feeling we’ve all become well familiar with over the past two years, as so many aspects of our lives have been rocked by the shock of the new:…

1 CATCH A BROADWAY REVIVAL Funny Girl, the 1964 production that helped launch Barbra Streisand into the stratosphere, returns to Broadway this month with Beanie Feldstein in the title role. Opening April 24 at the August Wilson Theatre, the musical follows chorus girl Fanny Brice as she rises through the ranks and becomes one of the biggest stars in show business—on her own terms. 2 DISSECT ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley and House of Cards showrunner Melissa James Gibson are behind this anthology series premiering April 15 on Netflix. Sienna Miller plays the wife of a British politician accused of rape (Rupert Friend) who is convinced of her husband’s innocence. 3 STREAM LADY FOR SALE The sophomore effort from actor-musician Lola Kirke, inspired by female…

In 2019, then-18-year-old Brooke Raboutou made history when she qualified for the Tokyo Olympics as part of the inaugural U.S. sport climbing team. The games, which were pushed to 2021 due to Covid, marked the first time the event entered competition. “It took me so long to even realize what it meant,” says Raboutou, who ultimately earned fifth place for her combined score in bouldering, lead climbing, and speed climbing. “It was big for our sport, and I’m really proud to have been able to stand for my country.” While she has been competing since she was seven—her parents are both world-class climbers—the pressures that came with being an Olympian encouraged her to focus more on her mental health. “There aren’t many resources for it within the climbing community since…

FOR A CERTAIN TYPE OF WOMAN with rarefied taste, Rue Ambroise Thomas is not just a quiet Parisian dead-end street. Up on the first floor of number 7, unmarked from the outside, devotees of crisp cotton-poplin shirts and crewneck cashmere sweaters find a cozy mecca. Decorated with abstract ceramics and pared-down wooden furnishings, the atelier of the decade-old label Cristaseya feels more like an apartment than a store or studio. “You’re never rushed, because it’s not a shop [where] someone is selling you something,” says Sarah de Mavaleix, a stylist and cofounder of The Skirt Chronicles, a Parisian style magazine. “You can just come and have tea and touch the most amazing knitwear.” New York designer and retailer Maryam Nassirzadeh likens the atelier to the kind of home that might…

Caroline Fabrigas was in a bind. Her company, Scent Marketing Inc, creates custom fragrances for luxury retailers and resorts around the globe (its most famous commission is the 1 Hotel in Miami’s warm, woodsy blend), but in March 2020, nearly all of her clients pressed pause on their projects. Fabrigas found herself stuck in her hometown of Scarsdale, New York, surrounded by hundreds of gallons of high-quality oils with nowhere to go. The entrepreneur quickly set up a little pop-up called ScentFluence Aroma Design Studio, where she sold the surplus oils, candles, and diffusers. Within two months of opening, the shop sold out of top scents, like Spiritual Woods and all of its 1 Hotel candles. “At home, fragrance is a way for us to create moments,” says Fabrigas. “It…

Renée Zellweger’s rescue dog Chester needed a hip replacement. And so, just before the world shut down, the actor left her home in Topanga, a rustic canyon east of Malibu, and drove to the vet. Traffic can be notoriously unpredictable, and she passed the time listening to Dateline NBC’s The Thing About Pam—like all of us, relaxing to a murder podcast. Zellweger, 52, spent much of lockdown on her own, tending to endless projects around the house. “I was outside every day, building things and planting things,” she says. “Nature does what it does and, you know, the squirrels and I were at war. Like, ‘Why you gotta dig that big hole there?’ I’m out there every day with my shovel and my bucket. Then I’m inside tinkering. ’Cause you…

When Nadège Vanhée-Cybulski, artistic director of Hermès’s womenswear, was 19—or maybe 21; those years, she says, are a bit blurry—she put together a look she was really proud of: “I wore huge, baggy, really oversize Levi’s with tiny, tiny, skinny black T-shirts,” she tells me. “I had really short, short hair, and I used to wear these white clogs.” At the time, Vanhée-Cybulski was a student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium, the Antwerp fashion school renowned for producing such talents as Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, and Dries Van Noten. She describes her collegiate aesthetic back then as “sort of techno, with mystique.” She was really into Britpop; as a teen in Lille in northern France, she and a friend wrote for a music zine as a…

It used to be a trope in women’s magazines that when we reached a certain age—say, the ripe old age of 40—it was time to reinvent ourselves. Usually with a short haircut. This issue’s theme is devoted to the idea of reinvention, and my hope is that we can reframe the conversation so that it’s a celebration and interrogation of our constant state of becoming, rather than those arbitrary and sexist changes society would have us impose on ourselves. Our cover subject, Renée Zellweger, photographed by Mel Bles, has reinvented herself numerous times over the course of nearly three decades in Hollywood—as Bridget Jones, as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and more recently in her Oscar-winning performance as Judy Garland—inhabiting each role so wholly that her characters live on in the…

MEL BLES PHOTOGRAPHER: “Renée Zellweger Lets Down Her Guard (Sort Of),” page 93 “I’ve tried to reinvent myself numerous times and have always failed dreadfully, thinking I needed to become a more organized, sophisticated version of myself. I realized a few years ago that this version of me isn’t going anywhere. And of course, this original, wilder persona is doing just fine.” KIESE LAYMON WRITER: “The Burden of Bearing Witness,” page 66 “The pandemic forced me, like most folks I know, to create new rituals. Instead of writing, teaching, and hopping on planes every week, I became one of those people whose daily pleasure was parking at the dog park and listening to music until I fell asleep. That’s a beautiful day to me now.” MICKEY RAPKIN WRITER: “Renée Zellweger…

When Michael Gulizio and Steven Cordoves, cofounders of the New York dental practice Core Smiles, reopened after lockdown, they had their work cut out for them. Patients came in with problems ranging from gingivitis (a mild form of gum disease), which can be a result of missed cleanings, to complaints of teeth grinding, a result of pandemic-related stress. Of course, some people just wanted to feel better about their smiles. “Now that we’re always staring at ourselves on-screen, we’re more aware of our appearance, including our teeth,” says Cordoves. Between 2020 and 2021, there was a 21 percent increase in mentions of dental-care products on Twitter. (“Mask breath” is a concern, per market-research firm NetBase Quid.) If improving your smile is on your list, read on for changes you can…

“Bridge” treatments are big news in beauty. “They are what we consider for patients who need more than what the traditional noninvasive can offer but who aren’t yet ready for invasive procedures like surgery or want to avoid them altogether,” says Paul Jarrod Frank, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York. Among the buzziest is Micro-Coring, a solution for those who seek firmer, tighter skin but no longer get results from treatments like microneedling, fillers, and laser therapy. (Frank is one of the first U.S. providers to use Ellacor, the proprietary Micro-Coring device cleared by the FDA in 2021.) How it works: Under the careful hand of a derm, registered nurse, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner, the Ellacor device’s hollow needles create “micro-cores” (think tiny punch biopsies) less than a half…

Since her breakout performance in 1995’s Kids, Sevigny has been a singular force in film, TV, and fashion, appearing in critically acclaimed flicks and prestige hits and collaborating with brands ranging from Opening Ceremony to Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs. During the pandemic, she took on her most transformative role yet when she gave birth to her first child. “That was extremely life-changing,” she says. “I’m still figuring out how to manage work with the baby.” Currently, Sevigny appears in Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville. Based on the 2017 Esquire article of the same name, the series tells the true story of then-17-year-old Michelle Carter’s “texting-suicide case” and the events that led to the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III. “It’s very much an American tragedy,” says Sevigny, who…

Over the past decade, Jon Batiste, the virtuoso musician, composer, and Juilliard graduate who since 2015 has served as bandleader on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, has marched to the beat of his own improvisational drummer. Born into a legendary New Orleans musical family, Batiste grew up steeped in jazz, blues, gospel, and R&B, but his tastes run wide. His most recent album, 2021’s We Are, explores a range of influences and genres while also tapping into the tenor and tension of a historical moment when culture and identity, race and reckoning, and the personal and political have all become inextricably bound. In the late spring and early summer of 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic entered its first peak and calls for social justice grew louder, he began performing…

Before creating my series, Better Things, in 2016, I was always only ever just an actor. Now I write, direct, and star in my own show, which is both a relief and an enormous amount of pressure. If there’s anything anyone can learn from my story, it’s don’t do just one thing; don’t put all your eggs into one basket. That’s what I would tell the 20-year-old me: “Don’t wait for the phone to ring for acting jobs. Go live your fucking life right now. Do other things.” WITH BETTER THINGS, I want to set a new example of how people should be treated on sets. I remember one big network show that I was a guest star on, there was just this enormous waste of money and time. It…

BLUSH JUST MAY BE THE MOST UNDERRATED COSMETIC. “It instantly gives you a radiant, youthful glow,” says makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez, who created the look here. “To make it feel fresh, experiment with placement.” Try putting blush on the high points of your cheekbones, where you’d typically put highlighter, he says. It has a lifting effect. Too dramatic? Simply swirl it onto the apples of your cheeks, but give it a runway update by adding just a bit more color than usual. As long as eyes and lips are subtle, rosy cheeks look super chic.…

When I arrive at Vanessa Panzella-Velez’s fifth-floor apartment in Brooklyn on a blue-sky morning in January, she’s already taken drugs: one third of a gram of magic mushrooms. A pouch of tan capsules sits on the table—like vitamins, except powdered psychedelics. Not that you’d know. There are none of the stereotypical signs: no trippy hallucinations or bodies writhing around like you’re looking in a fun-house mirror. Instead, there’s Vanessa, 38, a freelance social-media manager, welcoming me inside with the offer of a warm drink, cacao with almond milk in a bowl-size mug. She’s used maple syrup to sweeten it, not honey. “Is that okay?” It’s been a busy morning, between trying to fix the internet and schlepping her puppy, Cookie, to the dog park in near-zero temperatures. Later, she tells…

FEW ARTISTS HAVE EMBODIED the notion of reinvention as fully as David Bowie. He reinvented rock ’n’ roll with an experimental approach that drew from a wide variety of musical forms and genres. He reinvented what a pop star could do and be, with forays into film, art, theater, and fashion. And he continually reinvented himself: from British art-rock folkie to the meta-glam spectacle of Ziggy Stardust, from ’80s MTV fixture to paragon of the 21st-century avant-garde. For Bowie, though, reinvention wasn’t about being a changeling. It was a way to free himself up to be who he was at every stage of his own evolution, both creatively and personally. When Bowie spoke with Harper’s Bazaar in 2002, he was coming up on the end of a prolific decade-long run…
