Harper's Bazaar USA - April 2022

THE REINVENTION ISSUE 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: how we live and interact; our ambitions and concerns; the way we understand our place in the world. We tend to notice transformation most when it’s immediate and undeniable—the quick, big, profound. But everything is always in motion. This issue is about reinvention as that kind of process, as one that happens to us, for us, and around us—and one that we embark upon each day as we strive to live fully in the moment. We explore reinvention as a personal project we undertake as individuals, in our private and professional lives, and as parents, children, siblings, partners, and friends. We examine reinvention in the context of the cultural institutions that surround us and what we choose to value and celebrate or rethink and interrogate. And we look at how reinvention is shaping our sense of mission, tradition, and even memory at a time when so much is changing and so much more still needs to change.

EDITOR’S LETTER Reframing REINVENTION 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. ZELLWEGER: MEL BLES; FASHION EDITOR: SAMIRA NASR; HAIR: BOB RECINE; MAKEUP: KINDRA MANN FOR DIOR FOREVER; Alexander McQueen dress, $6,900; alexandermcqueen.com. Our cover subject, Renée Zellweger, photographed by Mel Bles, MANICURE: DIEM TRUONG FOR MORGAN TAYLOR; NASR: JODY ROGAC. SEE THE DIRECTORY FOR SHOPPING DETAILS. Van Cleef & Arpels rings; 877-VAN-CLEEF. 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 pop-culture ether. Next, she portrays small-town murderer Pam Hupp for NBC’s true-crime miniseries The Thing About Pam. Zellweger chooses these roles carefully, often taking long breaks in between projects to allow herself the time to figure out what’s next. “You get quiet and you get creative,” she tells Mickey Rapkin of her process. “Busyness is the enemy of creativity.” Fashion is tasked with reinventing itself every six months. With couture, that challenge is particularly fraught, as designers and their ateliers must adhere to rigorous standards of craftsmanship while breathing newness into their creations. We spotlight the best of spring couture on the streets and quays around Paris’s Canal Saint-Martin in a shoot styled by Camille Bidault-Waddington and photographed by Camille Vivier. We also speak to Nadège Vanhée- Cybulski, who, as the artistic director for women’s ready-to-wear at Hermès, must reinterpret the runway for a 185-year-old leather-goods company known for its unwavering dedication to craft. “What is this oxymoron? I’m doing fashion at Hermès,” she tells our executive editor, Leah Chernikoff, likening using elements from the house’s rich legacy to constructing something out of Legos. Eight years into the job, Vanhée-Cybulski has proved herself to be a master builder. Reinvention can also be about challenging a set of beliefs or traditions. In our Voices section, Juilliard dance director Alicia Graf Mack speaks with one of the conservatory’s most famous recent alums, Oscar-winning musician, composer, and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert bandleader Jon Batiste, about reinventing creative spaces and institutions in the arts. Graf Mack is radically shifting the school’s approach to the rigid and classically oriented world of ballet, doing away with gendered classes and expanding the canon of work that is taught to include more works by women and composers of color. Says Batiste, who this month is up for a leading 11 Grammys, “The institutional elements of marginalization that have been built into certain tracks and fields—that’s not the truth.” As we were shipping this issue to the printer, Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, an unprovoked act of war. In the few days since the Russian siege began, we’ve witnessed the extraordinary spirit of the Ukrainian people, who have met the attacks with courage and resistance. I, along with so many around the world, have been deeply moved by their sacrifice—and can only pray that it will help us value the privilege of our freedom. 04/22 04/22 21
