In this issue

The future is now, and the decade upon us has never looked any brighter. This issue, BAZAAR embraces 2020 with fashion innovations that are weird, wonderful, and radical. With interspace travel becoming very much a reality, there’s no better time to channel this mood than with space-age silhouettes, stark-blue locks, and an LED screen bag. It certainly is a bold leap into the future, and in dressing the part, take style cues from our cover star, Samara Weaving, decked in Nicolas Ghesquière’s retro sci-fi looks for Louis Vuitton Cruise ’20. Speaking of which, be prepared to surmount life’s challenges in the Year of the Metal Rat by designing yourself a grand 2020 with Joey Yap’s special curation of the zodiac. Welcome to the new year and may the force, be with you.
