The word ICON can evoke singularity, a distinct one-of-oneness grounded in who someone is, what that person represents, and the scale of that individual's accomplishments. But while achievements can be singular, people contain multitudes. They embody a vast array of ambitions and experiences. Take the people in our Icons portfolio.

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.
