A little like the letters I write to Babka, this conversation and cover shoot began in one place and ended somewhere much more intimate. We came together to talk about The New Language of Impact and what began with power moved through friendship, paused at love, and settled on sincerity.
The space @hadise and @thebursin open for one another reminded me of something increasingly rare today: authenticity. The kind that does not need to announce itself, only to be felt. Because real impact no longer belongs to the loudest voice or the most visible presence. It lives somewhere quieter now; in energy, in character, in truth, and in the way someone stays with you.
Maybe that is still the most powerful form of impact. @harpersbazaarturkiye@dolcegabbana_beauty@dolcegabbana

@alexandramalenaleclerc is one of those women who knows what she carries and why. Not only how she looks, but how she holds herself. And those two are not the same; those who know, know.
In fact, this is exactly where the story of this issue begins: The New Language of Power. Once upon a time, power was a more exhausting thing. A little harsh, a little commanding, and perhaps a little too enamored with itself. It demanded attention the moment it entered a room, mistaking visibility for impact. Now, it speaks differently. It shows less, but makes you feel more. Smarter, calmer, more internal.
This is precisely where Alexandra Leclerc stands. She may not reveal herself entirely at first glance; but look a little longer, and she is already there. And the best part is, she doesn’t try to prove it to you.

Some women leave behind archives. Elsa Peretti left behind an atmosphere. A village, a feeling, a way of living with beauty that is wild, refined, and entirely her own. Still inspiring. Still whispering 🤍 @elsaperetti.official@tiffanyandco
