Good buy is a new podcast from the user Harper’s Bazaar where editors Leah Chernikoff and Lynette Nylander invite celebrities, designers, models and tastemakers to discuss: what they buy, where they get it and why it matters. Come down the fashion rabbit hole and peek into the closets and shopping carts of the world’s most stylish people. Learn how they use style to tell their stories.
Another guest here Good buy is this month’s cover star Miley Cyrus. This is a pop star who really packs a lot in: she’s a free spirit and an old soul, a Disney Legend and a Grammy winner. Millions have watched her style evolve from Hannah Montana to the icon it is today, and one thing that has remained consistent is her unpredictability. And he’ll be the first to tell you that he hates consistency. No one loves vintage archives quite like Cyrus — she’s got plenty of archivists on speed dial — but she’s also getting comfort in her daily wear from minimal to California uniforms. Read the highlights and listen to the full show here or watch it above.
About personal style:
“My personal style is in this moment. I am committed, although I am also completely isolated. That’s who I am. It’s like being in a relationship with me, it’s my friend, it’s related to me. I’m always completely convinced until I’m not. And then I’m done with it. I’ve moved on.”
About being in a constant state of development:
“Consistency has never been too important to me, because I think inconsistency and constant change is consistency in itself. And that’s why every day is different. I can feel very committed to watching, but I also have one foot already out the door and on to the next one.”
About the style icons that inspire her:
“I love an artist who does the most and does the least, and you don’t really know the difference because everything feels like skin. So someone like my godmother, Dolly Parton, she definitely does the most, but it feels like it’s just a part of her and never feels like a part of me—a costume or a suit of armor that keeps you away from her. It actually brings you in. And I feel that way about Grace Jones or Diana Ross.”
Prada Galleria Struts leather mini bag
“My first purchase was an ostrich Prada bag. I know you’re not allowed to eat ostriches anymore. I was 12. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t know better. I went to Paris and the first thing I did when I landed was make my dad take me to Prada and I brought an ostrich bag. It called to me and is still in one of my many storage units. I’m emotionally detached from all my stuff, but I’m literally a hoarder.”
Row zipper boots
“I just bought three pairs of the same shoes at Row. But that’s because I already know I’m going to wear these until the soles fall off. They’re just super soft, minimal black boots. And they’re so soft, I can already tell, that they are forever boots.
Ann Demeulemeester Black Tall Danny Tall Boots
“I’m looking for a new motorcycle boot. Something that feels clean but a little worn and not western. I want to be able to dance anytime. I want to take my dog to the park anytime. I don’t want to think, Oh, I’m in these stiff boots right now. I want them to be able to be in every part of my life.”
Louis Vuitton Beaubourg ankle boots
“I bought a couple of pairs [of motorcycle boots]regretted it immediately, returned it. I did the Louis Vuitton round toe and since I have small feet, the mesh doesn’t work for me. It does where it gives but doesn’t give. It does too much, but not enough for me personally.”
Saint Laurent Oversize textured leather jacket
“I just bought a leather jacket from Saint Laurent, and I love it because it suits every version of me, and I’m especially into consumerism. If I’m going to make a big purchase, I want it to be something I could picture myself wearing, and I could see myself everywhere in this jacket. I could imagine doing all these things: going to a concert with my boyfriend, using it in one of my own concerts. And then I imagined that once a year me and my mother would go for a walk around this rose garden in Pasadena. And sometimes it’s cold. So I’ll bring my coat.
“This jacket will be included in the sweetest, most personal moments of my life. And it can also be part of the great moments of my life. I can use it on stage. I love leather jackets and dresses! I’m always looking for something that can be a bridge between my personal life and my professional persona. And that’s where I end up making those big wastes; it has to be something that feels like it fits both of my worlds.”
