Sarah Jessica Parker is featured on the cover of the upcoming March 2009 Spring issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
Inside the issue, Parker pays homage to one of the most iconic fashion editors of all time, Diana Vreeland.
Working at Harper’s Bazaar for almost 30 years and at Vogue for 8 years, Vreeland was also the consultant to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
For the photo shoot, Sarah Jessica Parker was captured by famed photographer Peter Lindbergh.
In the interview, Parker shares what Carrie Bradshaw would do to handle the recession: “She would probably end up in a hospital... Perhaps she would go back to her ‘80s stuff and start bringing it back out.”
