WELCOME TO THE ISSUE

7 was very flattered that Jennifer chose to do this photo tribute to me. I can't wait to see it."
—Barbra Streisand
BARBRA STREISAND FAMOUSLY SANG, "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world." In die case of our September cover story, there are many people to thank.
It started with Jennifer Aniston and her longtime hairstylist and friend, Chris McMillan, who had the brilliant idea to pay homage to Barbra. The two mentioned it to photographer Mark Seliger, who then told me. I thought it was too good to be true—until I ran into Jennifer at the La Mamounia hotel opening in Morocco last Thanksgiving.
After that, we started our collaboration in earnest. Jennifer personally chose die pictures of Barbra she wanted to emulate, storyboarding the shoot like a director. On set, she hit all the right notes, channeling her muse all the way to Barbras legendary fingernails.
This fall is set to be a Streisand moment in more ways than one. Barbra is releasing her long-anticipated book of interiors, My Passion for Design. My good friend Wendy Goldberg made an introduction, and the next thing I knew, it was "Barbra Streisand on line 1."
As it always does, die conversation turned to fashion. Barbra laughed and said she wore her famous newsboy cap from What's Up, Doc? recently and was followed by the paparazzi. (Never underestimate the power of a great accessoiy.) "I was very flattered that Jennifer chose to do this photo tribute to me," Barbra says. "I can't wait to see it."
So, while people need people, it's thanks to Jennifer's passion and Barbras continued inspiration that this story truly sings.
