EDITOR'S LETTER • On PERFORMANCE

PLAYLIST

WHY DON'T YOU...? • Here’s a THOUGHT: Don’t get DRESSED. Mount a PRODUCTION. Put on a SHOW. Go on TOUR. And if the reviews are lukewarm, don’t change the COSTUME; blame the CRITIC! For the PERFORMANCE issue, LYNETTE NYLANDER takes CUES from the stage’s most STYLISH to arm you with TIPS for STEPPING OUT.

THE BAZAAR

WARM Front

SUIT Yourself

High TIME • OMEGA's SPEEDMASTER gets a well-heeled upgrade with an ICE-BLUE DIAL and a dazzling DIAMOND BEZEL that elevates its SPORTINESS with some SHINE

SAND Lot • Swap out your dark DRESS WATCH for one in a SOFT, DUSTY HUE, with a tonal STRAP and a DIAL set in WHITE GOLD or PLATINUM, for an understated (and unexpected) touch of WARMTH

STROKE of Genius

JEWELRY NEWS • The season's most striking new JEWELS and OBJECTS are PLAYFUL, AUDACIOUS, SCULPTURAL, and SUBLIME

Double TAKE

RED Alert • The season’s STANDOUT SHADE works best as a RICH ACCENT that transforms a low-key look into a SHOWSTOPPER

Next STEPS • The defining BOOT for fall is HIGH-HEELED, comes in SUMPTUOUS leathers, and is endlessly VERSATILE. Wear it SLOUCHED with a skirt or TUCKED neatly under TROUSERS.

LYNN NOTTAGE, WHITNEY WHITE, and JOHN LEGEND are teaming up for a NEW MUSICAL that RECLAIMS an AMERICAN CLASSIC from a BLACK PERSPECTIVE • In 2020, against the dual backdrops of the isolating Covid-19 lockdown and the righteous fury of Black Lives Matter protests erupting across the country, John Legend and Lynn Nottage began exchanging messages. Though the EGOT-achieving musician and the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright couldn't meet in person, the pair quietly became collaborators on a long-gestating project, now finally reaching the stage: a musical adaptation of Imitation of Life.

Stage PRESENCE

The BLUEPRINT • For 75 YEARS, MAX MARA has pioneered the IDEA that a foundational WARDROBE—what we wear to MOVE through the WORLD—is far from BORING. In fact, it can offer ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.

FASHION AND CULTURE

¡Vamos ESPAÑA! • With SPAIN fresh off a WORLD CUP win, there’s no better time to visit MADRID and the cooler northern regions of ASTURIAS and GALICIA

Beauty BROKERS • SHOPPING around for an AESTHETIC DOCTOR in SÉOUL isn’t as simple as finding a SHEET MASK or TONER. That’s where CONCIERGES come in.

MODERN Classics

Character STUDY • NATALIE PORTMAN on ART (a new movie!), MOTHERHOOD (a new baby!), FAME (a new outlook!), and the FREEDOM that comes with CHOOSING JOY

LAST Dance • ISABELLA BOYLSTON and JAMES WHITESIDE will go down in HISTORY as one of BALLET'S great PARTNERSHIPS. Ahead of Whiteside's RETIREMENT, and following the BIRTH of Boylston's first CHILD, the duo prepare to dance their FINAL SEASON together.
