Donatella Versace says she’s “daring.”
Dolce & Gabbana say she’s “never scared to take risks.”
“Even when she rebels against fashion, it becomes fashion,” says Jean-Paul Gaultier.
The fashion world embraces Madonna‘s cutting-edge style in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, which features a cover shot of the back-to-blond singer in a less-than-edgy look: Blue cords, white tank top and a cap.
The cover was shot in L.A. on June 24, the same day Madonna and Missy Elliott posed for their joint print and TV ads for the Gap.
Madonna, 44, is wearing a Gap sleeveless T and Gap low-rise cropped corduroy pants. In the ads, which start appearing next week, both divas sport the initial M engraved on the back pocket of their pants.
Even though Madonna’s recent movies (Swept Away, The Next Best Thing) have flopped and her new album, American Life, is a commercial disappointment, magazine editors are still celebrating her style after 20 years.
The moment the Material Girl broke on the scene in the ’80s, young wannabes copied her look with layered skirts, bangles, beads and head scarves.
She made fashion statements with conical bras and wore underwear as outerwear during 1990’s Blond Ambition tour. With 2001’s Drowned World tour came kilts, geisha-gear and cowboy chic.
Bazaar includes Madonna among style icons “who’ve changed the fashion landscape.” Those joining her include the late Katharine Hepburn, with her signature menswear look, and Audrey Hepburn, whose “European sophistication and American practicality” are back in vogue again.
