Amish Chic

I have a confession to make here.

Harpers magazine has recently been warning its readers about fraudulent a subscription service selling fake subscriptions to their magazine. I was a victim of this fraud. The result:

A 3-year subscription to Harpers Bazaar magazine. In case you’re unaware, HB is a fashion magazine aimed at 40-50 year old women. Every month it arrives in my mailbox, big, thick, glossy and smelling of perfume. Even with the shame and confusion I feel seeing my name stamped on the thing every month, I have a bizarre fascination with it. Because of this, I haven’t actually cancelled my subscription just yet. After all, who can cancel a magazine that comes with articles about pants written by Puff Daddy? (he referred to himself in the 3rd person 6 different times in 6 different names… in the first sentence.)

Which brings me to this month, where on the pages of HB I found the photo spread of a new ‘look’ among a certain segment of the population: Amish chic.

No this isn’t a misconceived SNL skit… it’s real and therefore actually funny. With no further commentary here’s the spread. (Photos by Peter Lindbergh… man that guy must have some stories)
