44 THE LEGEND OF ROY ORBISON Q’s legendary contributor Liz Smith (a.k.a. “The Grand Dame of Dish”) analyzes the story behind the utterly unique and unmistakable sound of Roy Orbison. With his midnight black hair, impenetrable sunglasses (due to stage fright, not blindness, as some assumed), and awkward, vulnerable stage presence, Orbison was, as Liz makes poignantly clear, the wounded soul of country.

56 IN THE SPIRIT OF GSTAAD Just in time for the coldweather season that’s upon us, Elizabeth Meigher takes us on a journey through the winter-themed pages of Mandolyna Theodoracopulos’ In The Spirit of Gstaad (Assouline), which features a foreward by her father—and longtime Quest and Q columnist—Taki Theodoracopulos.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Every year at the end of December, as we move from one year into the next, I am reminded of the greatest last sentence in all of American literature, the immortal closer of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

It’s not a fairy-tale ending, but, after all, life is not a fairy tale. At the end of The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby is dead; Myrtle and George Wilson are dead; Tom and Daisy have fled back West; and Nick is left standing on Gatsby’s beach, “brooding on the old unknown world,” thinking that we all chase after our dream, believing that one day we’ll achieve it—“boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly” into our past.

With time and experience, I have grown to appreciate that in Fitzgerald’s epic ending is truth: while life is not a fairy tale, hope does arise from the struggle. For many of us, life is about maintaining optimism in the face of great challenges. The mere fact that we continue to move forward as much as we can is, in itself, how the battle is ultimately won.

Fitzgerald alluded to this point in a 1940 letter to his daughter, Scottie, stating, “Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.” Struggle is tied closely to the human condition, a seething battle of conflicting forces. It lurks amid the anguish of opportunity and seizes upon us in moments of anxiety and vulnerability. Fitzgerald suggests that with careful consideration, we learn that fulfillment in life is not found despite the struggle—it is the struggle. Those who have faced defeat, experienced loss, or known suffering but have emerged from the losses of those depths become the most inspiring and remarkable people we know.

Famed writer and Q contributor Liz Smith’s account of legendary singer-songwriter Roy Orbison in this issue is a perfect illustration of such truth. Orbison’s music was beautiful—his impassioned voice, crooning compositions, and emotional ballads—but his journey was fraught with pain. He divorced and remarried his first wife, Claudette, in 1964 and 1965, due to her infidelities. Orbison and Claudette shared a love for motorcycles but tragedy struck on June 6, 1966, when Orbison and Claudette were riding home from Bristol, Tennessee. She hit the door of a pickup truck that had pulled out in front of her and died instantly. Then, in 1968, while Orbison was on tour in England, he received news that his home in Tennessee had burned down and his two eldest sons had died in the fire. In spite of remarrying, this time to Barbara Jakobs, the next two decades were a struggle, both personally and professionally. And yet, like a phoenix, the dark and mysterious “Big O” rose from the ashes, and by 1987 revived his career with the formation of The Traveling Wilburys. He was inducted by Bruce Springsteen into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Orbison determinedly pursued his second chance at stardom, but he expressed amazement at his success: “It’s very nice to be wanted again, but I still can’t quite believe it.”

On a more colorful note, this issue offers a smattering of fab fashion with Alex Travers’ roundup from the Spring 2017 runways, as well as trends (à la “wanderlust,” “optic white,” or reinventing “pretty in pink”) that will keep Counterclockwise, from top right: The new book In The Spirit of Gstaad you feeling fierce and looking sharp this winter.

These days she’s been having fun with her website, featuring 20 famous women: WowOWow.com (aimed at one of the most important demographics on the web—women who weren’t born yesterday!). In her latest column for Q, Liz analyzes the legend behind the utterly unique and unmistakable sound of Roy Orbison. With his midnight black hair, impenetrable sunglasses (due to stage fright, not blindness, as some assumed), and awkward, vulnerable stage presence, Orbison was, as Liz makes poignantly clear, the wounded soul of country.

44 < Alex Travers is the associate fashion editor of Q and Quest. In this issue, he reviews the latest ready-to-wear shows, where fashion’s spectacle still shines. “Things are changing,” says Alex. “Some designers skipped their shows altogether and sold their fall collections online. I don’t blame them. Shows can cost a fortune. But there is something special about a great runway outing, so to see that style of presentation go away is a little sad. You just have to hope guys like Marc Jacobs and Raf Simons won’t stop. Their shows are a type of visual theater that always bubble over with the unexpected.”

84 < Patrick McMullan is a longtime Quest and Q contributor whose work appears regularly in New York, Interview, Paper, Hamptons, and Ocean Drive. A contributing editor at Vanity Fair, McMullan’s landmark book, Kiss Kiss, is a compilation of over 1,000 black-and-white and color images from his vast body of work, capturing the famous, the infamous, the beautiful, the talented—and everyone in between—puckering up. For this issue, he attended and photographed some of the hottest Cinema Society movie premieres here in New York City.

From pillbox hats to A-line shifts, Jackie single-handedly launched trends of the 1960s and remained an influential style icon through every decade of her life. Her jewelry, including some of her most famous strands of pearls, was later reproduced on a mass-market scale by Kenneth Jay Lane. Whether you’re in the market for a new strand—or a statement ring or few—follow Jackie’s lead, along with our selects featured here.

6 Jean Shrimpton had a face for the ages—especially so in 1963, when she modeled the outsize jewelry seen here. Paired off a simple black dress and Shrimpton’s classic look, these bold baubles took on epic proportions, especially against her fine features. Of course, there’s always a time and place for being delicate and restrained, but when it comes to jewelry, we think you can never go wrong by going bold yourself. So go ahead, indulge yourself this season with a sprawling sapphire fan bracelet from Verdura or a red carpet–worthy ring by Chopard. You deserve it.

Leave it to the French to master the look of the classic trench, as Hardy does here, in a big and somewhat billowy style.

Marianne Faithfull was discovered in 1964 by Andrew Loog Oldham while at a Rolling Stones party. The timing couldn’t have been better; not long after, she released the song “As Tears Go By” and quickly became one of the lead female artists of the British Invasion in the United States. Speaking of tears, should winter’s winds get you teary-eyed, we suggest reaching for one of these new pairs of shades.

Moderate Modesty Monica Vitti starred in the 1966 comedic spy-fi Modesty Blaise, directed by Joseph Losey and produced in the United Kingdom.

The Italian actress played the title character—a spy recruited by British Secret Service chief Sir Gerald Tarrant, played by Harry Andrews, to protect a shipment of diamonds to a Middle Eastern sheik. Among other memorable scenes, Modesty can be seen sporting a sexy holster, a bow-and-arrow set slung ’round her back, and ’60s-appropriate black leather boots.

In this 1962 photo, he captured the effortless cool of a New York City man hanging out on a Plymouth.

A Girl’s Garnishes Nova, published from 1965 to 1975, was a British women’s magazine that was politically radical, beautifully designed, and intellectual. It tackled topics like sex and the pill, and in time came to epitomize the sophistication of London, like in this photo from 1973. Having a bold point of view is nothing to shy away from, even when it comes to the smallest touches, which is why the accessories seen on this page caught our attention.

Queen Paola of Belgium was born in Forte dei Marmi, Tuscany, Italy, the seventh and youngest child of the World War I Italian flying ace Fulco, Prince Ruffo di Calabria.

She married the future King Albert II in 1959, and they reigned as King and Queen of the Belgians in 1993, until 2013. Queen Paola is fluent in Italian, French, German, and English, and slightly less so in Dutch, the mother tongue of many of her people. She also speaks the language of classic style, and the photo of her here reminds us that a timeless handbag speaks volumes.

Cinching It Sunny Harnett was photographed by Irving Penn for Vogue in September 1952 looking like the model of the impossibly thin waistline. Her striking face, perfect coiffe, and to-die-for accessories (note those gloves and jewels) helped make her look, which is anchored by a solid dark clutch. Never underestimate the power of the clutch: chosen wisely—and appropriately—it can be the perfect embellishment, or the simplest of added touches.

David Bowie has always known how to make an entrance—and an exit, for that matter. Here, he is seen leaving The Carlyle hotel in New York City on a brisk wintry day. Bowie, ever cool, didn’t go overboard on bundling up with bulky clothes, but instead relied on a staple of stylish layers (and textures) to stay warm. This winter, as the temperatures begin to drop, you might want to take a cue from Bowie and keep it classically cool—or add a little extra, like fur—which is why we were attracted to these dapper fits to satisfy all fashion senses.

“Roy Orbison’s voice sounded like an angel falling backwards through an open window.”

That was country singer Dwight Yoakam, commenting on the haunting, utterly unique, and unmistakable sound of Roy Orbison.

With his midnight black hair, impenetrable sunglasses— stage fright, not blindness, as some assumed—and awkward, vulnerable stage presence, Orbison was the wounded soul of country. Many country songs and singers relate tales of heartbreak, but Orbison’s aria-like compositions with a voice that tore the soul were something quite apart from the work of other artists. His songs lived in a clouded world of desperate regret and desperate hope. (Even his most optimistic hit,

M i r ro r p i x

The Legend Of Roy Orbison

D av i d Re df e r n / Re df e r n s/ Ge t ty

S T Y L E

“Oh, Pretty Woman” leaves the listener on edge. Is she really “walking back to me?” The ache in Orbison’s voice is not as confident as his lyric.)

Born in Texas, Orbison’s initial work was frenetic rockabilly fare—he began, as so many did, at Sun Records, the initial blast-off for Elvis Presley. But it was not until he moved on to Monument Records that Roy began to develop the sound— and the physical persona—that made him iconic. Although he continued to record up-tempo songs, it was the dramatic ballads—“Crying,” “Running Scared,” “In Dreams,” “Only The Lonely,” “It’s Over”—that established him as a star.

More than that—a male singer who was open to his own vulnerability; so piercing, so real. Little arias of exquisite agony.

The singer’s own life was itself material for any number of Nashville-themed heartbreak city songs. Success troubled his first marriage to Claudette Frady, but after a reconciliation she was killed in a motorcycle accident. Several years later, two of their sons would die in a house fire. (In 1969 he would marry

a young German girl, Barbara Jakobs. They would have two children and remained wed until Roy’s death in 1988.)

His career suffered inevitably as times changed, but of his fallow period he once remarked: “I kind of stood there like a tree where the winds blow and the seasons change, and you’re still there and you bloom again.”

And he did bloom again, although one aspect of his comeback initially irked him—director David Lynch’s use of Orbison’s haunting “In Dreams” in Lynch’s controversial 1986 movie, Blue Velvet. (Orbison flat-out refused to allow the song; Lynch ignored him.) But, in time, Roy came to see that audience exposure to the 1963 hit not only helped reintroduce him, but also gave the song—“performed” by a loony drug dealer in the movie—a different, even more striking resonance.

Orbison was in the full flower of his renaissance in 1987.

Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. He was omnipresent and adored as never before—concerts, documentaries, feature stories. His voice was once again analyzed and marveled over. His quiet manner, the hushed mystery of his presence, was the epitome of cool, just as it had been when he’d ruled the charts in the 1960s. He had come full circle, through the fire of personal tragedy and professional indifference, with all his ability intact, and honed even finer.

Roy Orbison died of a heart attack in Hendersonville, Tennessee, at the age of 52. He had perhaps worked too arduously on his comeback. His last album, the posthumously released “Mystery Girl,” was a hit.

Roy Orbison’s life and his art will be brought to the screen as a feature film next year. As of this writing, no star has been announced. It is not known if the actor chosen will lip-sync to Roy’s recordings or attempt to imitate his sound. I suggest the former.

I leave the final word on Orbison’s art to Bruce Springsteen: “He was the true master of the romantic apocalypse you knew was coming after the first night you whispered ‘I love you’ to your first girlfriend.” u

knows Gstaad better than Taki Theodoracopulos, who has spent every winter in Gstaad from the age of eight years old to nearly eighty! Many consider Taki to be one of the last great playboys, from a Camelot era of chivalry and manners.

Taki’s background brims with such intrigue and glamour that one might think it was written about a fictionalized James Bond character rather than a real person. The grandson of a former prime minister of Greece and the heir to a shipping fortune, Taki boasts a host of achievements: he’s been a member of the Greek Davis Cup team, a former captain of the Greek karate team, an Olympic tennis player, and the oldest life member of Gstaad’s exclusive Eagle Ski Club (which he joined in 1958). Taki is also an accomplished journalist, having written for National Review, London Spectator, the London Sunday Times, Esquire Magazine,

Taki is currently the publisher of British magazine Right Now! and writes for Taki’s Magazine, described as a libertarian webzine of “politics and culture.” It’s little wonder, then, that Taki’s daughter, Mandolyna, is also intimately familiar with Gstaad. She started her career as a writer for Hamptons magazine, has written for Gstaad Life, and is the Editor of Taki’s Magazine. She is also a full-time interior designer, decorating private homes for young executives in the film and music industries. Mandolyna recently wrote a stunning book, In the Spirit of Gstaad (Assouline), the photos of which accompany this article. She dedicated the book appropriately to her dear and daring father. u

Everlasting Winter Destinations by

Robert Frost who once said, “You can’t get too much winter in winter.”

Having spent a good part of my academic years with snow and ice underfoot, I still have a wistful affection for this unkindest of “character building” seasons. Of course, not all Quest readers agree, so in the following pages we offer up some legendary locations and lifestyles that have allowed generations of swellegant families and friends to endure and enjoy the winter solstice. We’ve included some “sunny places for shady people” and even a few alpine peaks for those more Nordically inclined. Collectively, they share a certain geographic beauty and longstanding social patina—a rich combination of athleticism, extravagance, and opulent entertainment that borders just on the edge of temporary hedonism.

There’s a place here for everyone, even the purists who seek the first tracks on Whiteface, or the last wave off Baja.

As Sinclair Lewis most defiantly said: “Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation.” Indeed! u

Vail is many things. It’s a seven-mile stretch of the Colorado Rockies hosting 193 alpine trails. It’s a Tyrolean-style village full of old-world charm and character, not to mention a tempting array of boutiques. It’s also a bustling concentration of après-ski haunts, which are perhaps just as enticing as the mountains above. From snowboarding to mountain biking, Vail is year-round adventure on a grand scale. But it’s the winter season that beckons us most. Here at Q, we’re always looking for the best that each season has to offer, and when it comes to winter, we’re always on the hunt for the world’s finest ski trails and cold-weather sports. This year, we touched down here in the Colorado Rockies to discover Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, a contemporary landmark luxury hotel graced with European flair.

Outside, your heart might skip a beat at the sight of the peaked roofs and wooden beams, which draw their inspiration from the Gore mountain range. The inside of this contemporary alpine lodge is bathed in natural light that illuminates the hickory wood and limestone everywhere. The indoors and outdoors are connected by large windows, balconies, terraces, and the stunning year-round outdoor pool with outdoor fireplace. (Is there a greater feeling on earth than letting the heated pool soothe your muscles after a day on the slopes, while looking up into the darkening winter sky?)

With fitness facilities, a 14,395-square-foot spa, and three eateries (including the red-hot Flame restaurant) on site, this 121room resort is large enough to suit your every need, yet of a scale manageable enough to make you feel like it’s your own private winter-community escape. Below, we’ve compiled a sampling of just some of the luxurious offerings on tap at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail that drew our attention to this haven away from home:

SKI CONCIERGE

For many visitors to Vail, maximizing one’s time on the slopes is a priority, and bothering with equipment, transportation, and other details is a necessary burden. Not so for guests of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, where every consideration has been anticipated. The effortless experience begins in the resort’s lobby, where boot fittings and ski rentals are arranged in advance. Then, just a short walk on a heated pathway through Vail Village (or a five-minute shuttle ride), Four Seasons Ski Concierge is a comprehensive facility near the base of Gondola One that features a lounge and private lockers, where guests’ boots and perfectly fitted skis await. Equipment is also available for rental or purchase, and a full-service team waxes and tunes based on the day’s conditions and skier preferences. Hot drinks and muffins are complimentary, and lessons can be arranged for all ages, from beginner to expert. At the end of the

Don’t ever go up the gondola hungry. Guests of the resort can order a Pocket Meal, a small-sized meal that fits perfectly into the pocket of ski jackets, to bring up on the slopes.

So much about fashion these days focuses on the fleeting image of beauty. Certainly, this transience is part of any catwalk’s charm, and each city managed to capture that splendor of beauty in its own way: There was practical glamour in New York, sex appeal in Milan, and bright narratives in Paris. This season was a standout, filled with new and exciting ideas that both embraced and challenged fashion’s archetypal attitude. Plus: an interesting game of designer musical chairs. We invite you to take a closer look at some of the runway shows in each city.

This page: Ondria Hardin backstage at Versace; outtakes from the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 runway shows, including Ralph Lauren (above) and Louis Vuitton (below). > Opposite page: Scenes from Valentino’s

Spring Show Spring Show Reviews Reviews Spring 2017 collection, which took place in Paris.

> Valentino Hieronymus Bosch and Valentino. Chaos meets classicism. Sure, it’s an strange paring. But for Spring 2017, designer Pierpaolo Piccioli takes the dive.

Piccioli, in his first Valentino collection without design-partner Maria Grazia Chiuri, doesn’t wallow in Bosch’s violent visuals, using them mostly to showcase his love of art created outside the traditional boundaries of beauty: Impaled hearts.

Exotic animals. Scenes of chaos. These appear on coats and gowns that float like gossamer, and you have to look closely to discover them. It’s the silhouettes, fancy and familiar, that immediately grab our attention—and have done a great job doing so ever since Piccioli and Chiuri took the reigns at Valentino.

Maybe that’s the point. If it ain’t broke…. But in conversations with the press, Piccioli gives a fairly rich sense of his new ideas, and his desire to forget the recent past, even given the success and vibrant vocabulary he and Chiuri have created.

The fate of Piccioli’s time at the house of Valentino will depend on what he does or doesn’t open up in you. Do his ideas— brutality, anarchy—translate into the clothes and accessories?

Or do these themes, which are original but appear almost haphazardly here, get lost in the familiar romance we already adore?

Q U I N T E S S E N T I A L

S T Y L E

> Carolina Herrera We all have a “personal” museum in New York; “favorite” is too timid a word. Mine is The Frick, one of the more intimate galleries in the city. For the third time now, Carolina Herrera presented her collection at the museum, where a group of models circled around the Garden Court in her latest offerings, mainly three-quarterlength dresses that shined in the museum’s baronial setting.

For daywear, a category Herrera is continually improving, the early denim looks and black blazer dress were the major standouts. For eveningwear, there was a white gauzy sheer dress, tied together with a neat black ribbon, that was handsdown the most gorgeous item in the collection. Modeled on the stunning Frederikke Sofie, it was a feast for the eyes.

Herrera has frequently voiced her interest in technology and her desire to make fashion for the future. She doesn’t want people to think her clothes are out of the past. She mainly achieves this with her fabric choices and embroideries. Still, we know these are clothes made for events with strict dress codes. But the reality is: her outfits hold your attention no matter when or where you see them. What makes Herrera great is the way she uses clothing to express her passion for dressing up. This time around, using a palette of mostly black and white, she has prepared the ultimate fix for anyone who enjoys fashion shows: a collection to get lost in. > Louis Vuitton Nicolas Ghesquière’s collections for Louis Vuitton are artful gifts of observation, expectably sophisticated and savvy. For Spring 2017, Ghesquière showed a modern, sparkling collection in Vuitton’s new space at the Place Vendôme. Right now, it’s in its final renovations, but you can already see that it will soon house a very ornate Louis Vuitton store. It’s almost odd to think that this collection will soon hang there. I imagine it will look like Takashi Murakami’s exhibit at the Château de Versailles: the classic housing the contemporary. It’s through these methods, however, that Ghesquière fuses his stylistic polish with that ever-so-popular athletic toughness to construct his version of today’s Louis Vuitton, keeping us attuned to the pleasures of the unexpected.

> Versace Seeing the name Donatella Versace means you’re in for a unique blend of color and architecture, with just the right amount of cerebral clarity at the core. Donatella—Versace’s chief designer and vice president of the Versace Group— rarely crafts collections according to trend. Sure, that may be a gamble. And sure, it can be hard to imagine these clothes on anyone else but the runway models who parade them. But during a Versace presentation, you can always feel Donatella searching for a way to elevate the meaning of a fashion show, working out how to transmute textures and fabrics and visual scenery, desperate to transcend a style of showmanship that may try to mute her bold vision. With Donatella, limits are always stretched, risks always taken. And no matter the immediate outcome or perception, she is at her very best when she shows her audience what it is to be a designer lifted free by the sense of possibility we have all glimpsed in fashion. By consistently soaring above the constraints of clothing, she becomes an expert at shaking us off balance, proving her innate ability to give vivid life to clothes.

> Ralph Lauren Ralph Laruen’s steady stream of fashion never fails to excite, especially when it feels personal. This season, Lauren’s women looked dashing, several dressed in body-hugging gowns accessorized with Western-style jewelry, which we know is dear to the designer’s heart. (Lauren usually takes his runway bow in cowboy boots.) His collection, a romantic one, makes you want to pack a bag and head out West.

That sense of spontaneous adventure is actually the setup for Lauren to showcase his clothes in different color categories that highlight his love for American destinations or characters from the books and films he adores. The looks hopscotch from day wear—plaid shirts and embroidered pants and capes—to elegant eveningwear. Basically, beautiful column dresses in striking purples and blues. Really, he doesn’t forget a thing.

For Lauren, who set aside a specific time period reference this seasons to show he can produce colors and shapes that feel entirely modern, the Western-themed collection feels natural.

Adapting with the fast-paced times, he even made the collection available for sale right after the show ended. u

In 1917 Anne Morgan, youngest daughter of Pierpont Morgan, returned to France, determined to bring aid to the wartorn civilian population. She was sent as close as possible to the battlefront in Picardy, to Blérancourt, a little village dominated by the ruins of a château, which Miss Morgan made her base for an extraordinary campaign of humanitarian aid. In 1985 Baroness Bernard d’Anglejan founded The American Friends of Blérancourt, which recently hosted a dinner at The New York Yacht Club honoring AFS Intercultural Programs as the receipient of The Franco-American Award of Blérancourt.

Sleek minimalism in solid colors is the name of the game when it comes to impeccable evening attire. No one can forget when Sigourney Weaver coolly quoted Coco Chanel to a wide-eyed Melanie Griffith in Working Girl: “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” Weaver’s character may have been wrong about many things in that film, but on this point she was spot on.

WINTER HOROSCOPES

Q112

Capricorn Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 Capricorns are considered to be among the most serious of the zodiac, which means that you are a force when it comes to your profession. But, what’s wrong with unbuttoning? It’s O.K. to party—and, well, when better to start than New Year’s Eve? > Dolly Parton: January 19, 1946

Cancer June 21 to July 22

Aquarius Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Leo July 23 to Aug. 23

You are known to vascilate between being an extrovert and being an introvert—such is the nature of being an Aquarius. It’s an exercise in balance. Schedule a weekend to “recharge your batteries,” especially after the excitement in December (wink, wink). > Clark Gable: February 1, 1901

The holidays are over and your sequins are hung up. You live to show off and the winter doldrums have you feeling buried. Remember who you are, Leo! The weather outside is frightful, but so is your roar. Falling temps and snow need not crush your spirit! > Mick Jagger: July 26, 1943

Pisces Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 It comes as second nature that you’re sensitive, dear Pisces. But you’ve been especially sensitive after a disappointment. Remember your artistic talents (e.g., composing music, creating art) to reestablish a sense of calm— and a sense of confidence. > Cindy Crawford: February 20, 1966

Virgo Aug. 24 to Sept. 22 It’s part of your being to feel “one” with nature, among the animals and connecting with the elements—from the water to the wind. And this is as true in winter as it is in summer, in spite of the snow. Grab a friend (or two) for activities in the outdoors: it will satisfy your soul. > Lauren Bacall: September 16, 1924

Aries Mar. 21 to Apr. 19 It can be difficult to be active in the cold months, which can be a bummer for Aries (a sign that is defined by its sportiness). What about a fitness class to address that extra energy? We hear you can earn your [Victoria’s Secret] wings in the boxing ring... > Ali MacGraw: April 1, 1939

Libra Sept. 23 to Oct. 22 There has been an altercation between your family or your friends and you, dear Libra, are being called on to mediate. This is an awkward situation, yes, but better to be in your position than that of those who are feuding. Be sure to be diplomatic and selfless. > Britt Ekland: October 6, 1942

Taurus Apr. 20 to May 20 Tauruses are considered the most devoted of the zodiac. This means that it’s possible for you to be in a situation where you’re more committed than your partner. Our advice to our bull-ish friends: be trusting but don’t be too trusting in these coming months. > Jack Nicholson: April 22, 1937

Scorpio Oct. 23 to Nov. 21 With the change in the year comes a significant change in your life. While you may fear the cold bite of winter, your future is as bright as the sun reflecting off the white blankets of snow outside your window. With the coming of spring, your success will be even closer. > Vivien Leigh: November 5, 1913

Gemini May 21 to June 20

Sagittarius Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The stars continue to watch the war between the two sides of this zodiac sign, wondering: “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?” You, dear Gemini, can be both. Because when you’re good, you’re very good, and when you’re bad, you’re horrid. > Marilyn Monroe: June 1, 1926

People count on you (and your charisma) to brighten up the room: they know that you’re the life of the party. That said, remember to share the attention with the host or, even, with the person you invited as your date. It’s best to be generous with the spotlight. > Frank Sinatra: December 12, 1915

/ WINTER 2017

It has been an emotional season for Cancer, who has either started—or finished—an important romance. This is the time for nurturing your needs (before the needs of others): be your own BFF to guarantee that you see success during the next chapter of your narrative. > Jerry Hall: July 2, 1956
