Also included in this stunning portfolio are Miranda Lambert, Courtney Love, Karlee Kloss, Natasha Poly, Joan Smalls, and more.

“From rock to hip hop, classic to country, and electric to soul, this unique group of ICONS is about diversity, that is what I love,” said Carine Roitfeld. “Celebrating a universal language of music and fashion is important to the world today.”

Harper’s BAZAAR editors from around the world will come together on Friday, September 8, 2017 to celebrate at the legendary Plaza Hotel. Partners for the event include Infor, returning for the fourth year, Laura Mercier and Stella Artois, returning for the second year, and new partners, Fujifilm and SWAROVSKI.

QUOTES-THE WEEKND:

On the disparity between The Weeknd’s lyrical and real-life personas: “Im not in a rush to let people know everything about me. Mystery is always great.”

On preserving his mystique as an A-lister: “Luckily, the only thing the world demands of me is music. I don’t have to give them anything else for the rest of my life.”

On if he’ll ever tinker with his public persona for his next album: “Kind of like pulling a Ziggy Stardust. Maybe I’ll retire from being the Weeknd. Or maybe I’ll just give him a break.”
