Karmen Pedaru • Harper’s Bazaar México October 2023

Longevity in fashion is rare. Newness has something of a monopoly on the collective imagination and yet there is novelty in the evergreen. Karmen Pedaru has been modeling at the highest levels for ages, however doesn’t seem to age in the slightest. Her latest cover—she’s had upwards of 60 in her career—is for the October 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar México. Photographed by JuanKr in Villa Cordellina Lombardi in Northern Italy, this credible editorial outing comes courtesy of Bulgari. Karmen transports this 18th century villa into the 21st century wearing a Dior dress and of course earrings, necklace, and ring from the Italian luxury house’s Mediterranea high jewelry collection (pictured). In the mood for fall? More like always in the mood for Karmen.
