Madonna For Harper’s Bazaar US Magazine February 2017 Photographed by Luigi & Iango

Madonna lands Harper’s Bazaar Us Magazine’s 150th anniversary special. On the Cover Madonna wears a Gucci gown; Madonna's own snake bracelet; Bulgari bracelet; Tiffany & Co. bracelet; Fallon ring; Loree Rodkin ring (on pinky finger); Lynn Ban ring (on index finger). She is photographed by Luigi & Iango.  She speaks to Roxane Gay about issues ranging from politics to what motivates her. Here is an excert from the Interview with the pop icon
Roxane Gay: As an artist, whether it's in film or music or writing, do you think your work is political?
Madonna: Completely.
Roxane Gay: How so?
Madonna: Because I'm political. I believe in freedom of expression, I don't believe in censorship. I believe in equal rights for all people. And I believe women should own their sexuality and sexual expression. I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be. All you have to do is look at my career—from my Sex book to the songs I've written, kissing a black saint in my "Like a Prayer" video, the themes I explored on my Erotica album. As I get older and I get better at writing and expressing myself, then you get into my American Life era, and I start talking about politics and government and how fucked our country's politics are, and the illusion of fame and Hollywood and the beautiful people.

Deddeh Howard a Black Model Re-Created Famous Campaigns to Push for More Diversity in Fashion

Deddeh Howard, a Liberia-born, L.A.-based model and blogger, was fed up with seeing fashion campaigns feature so few models of color. So, with the help of her photographer boyfriend Raffael Dickreuter, she re-created major campaigns from brands like Chanel and Gucci fronted by Gisele Bündchen, Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, and more. She took three months to put it together, making sure photos would look as close to identical as possible from the clothes and accessories to the poses and expressions on her face.
Howard, 27, titled the project Black Mirror and launched it on her blog Tuesday with a call for more inclusivity in the fashion industry. "In a time where Black people too often are in the media for being underrepresented at important events such as the Oscars or make headlines for being targeted by the police I felt it was time to do something positive and inspiring about my race," she writes. "I'm personally fighting for more diversity."
