Harper’s Bazaar‘s latest cover story features songstress Katy Perry and is captured by the lens of visionary photographer Jean-Paul Goude. Katy channels a retro screen siren on the September 2015 cover and poses in two traditional images as well as a third that pays homage to Andy Warhol's iconic print of Elizabeth Taylor.
Styling for this editorial is courtesy of CR Fashion Book editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld and is an homage to Old Hollywood gowns and retro Pop Art imagery. Hair styling for the shoot by Jean-Paul Goude is the work of Olivier Schawalder while its beauty looks are created by Tom Pecheux.
This visually striking cover shoot draws inspiration from vintage references and makes them relevant for a younger generation of fashion fans.
