CUBAN AMERICAN MODEL DEVYN GARCIA on when she feels MOST COMFORTABLE in her OWN SKIN: when there's NOTHING ON IT
The most beautiful person I know is my mom. She loves using natural oils; she rolls them on and layers them. I don't know if it's her pheromones, but they smell so good on her. Any woody or beachy scent reminds me of my dad. When I was growing up in Miami, he always wore one of the Tom Ford colognes with wood, and he smelled salty from when he went surfing.
I'm half Cuban and have a really small family. We celebrate Nochebuena; we do the whole cake with the baby Jesus inside, and whoever gets the little Jesus has good luck. I love cooking with my grandma. We make malanga frituras. She was an aesthetician and has so many beauty things she swears by. Iodine on little pimples coming up-she always gives me that.
In Miami Beach, you're surrounded by beautiful people, and the idea is you put the makeup on, pick the nice outfit, and get pretty to go out. And that's amazing, but you at home after you just took a shower is already so beautiful. I've done shoots where they did pretty much no makeup, and those are my favorites, when it's just you, raw-the person rather than the mannequin.

On PERFORMANCE
I met Cynthia Erivo over 10 years ago, when she first moved from London to New York and ended up becoming my neighbor. I always knew she would go on to do amazing things, and I can think of no one more fitting to celebrate on the cover of our Performance issue, as audiences gear up to take her in as Elphaba once more in Wicked: For Good. I have always been struck by the way Erivo can come off as both delicate and larger than life—or, as Jazmine Hughes writes in her cover story, “able to put both her strength and her softness on display.” This manifests in the photos too, shot by Cass Bird and styled by Yashua Simmons, portraying a performer at the peak of her powers, glamorous and self-assured and vulnerable all at once.

DWANA SMALLWOOD, NOVEMBER 2000
“A GREAT DANCER uses movement as a poet uses words. The grandest and slightest gestures—a head thrown back, a leg held high—illuminate the spirit and the heart.” That was how writer Elizabeth Kaye described the art of dance in an essay that accompanied a portfolio titled “Fast Company” in the November 2000 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, the story showcased six performers who were making their mark on the dance world at the turn of the 21st century—among them, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater principal Dwana Smallwood.
