FALL CAMPAIGN STARS Sarah Paulson spoke with Saks about moving forward with a fresh perspective, her personal style and how she transforms into a character. Paulson plays civil servant Linda Tripp in Ryan Murphy'sImpeachment: American Crime Story, which premiered this week. Paulson, styled for the shoot by Karla Welch, stars on the cover of the Saks women's Fall Book wearing a poncho from Gabriela Hearst's debut collection for Chloé, and can also be seen wearing fashion from Alexander McQueen, Valentino and Michael Kors.
"I've been rewarded in my life for choosing things that frighten me," Paulson tells Saks. "As a kid I was nervous and shy, but still dreamt about being an actress. I marvel that I'm now living my dream. I didn't say 'no' even when I wanted to. Personally, I have my own work to do to feel comfortably powerful within myself and to look at things I've achieved as accomplishments—not happenstance."
Kumail Nanjiani spoke to Saks about the past year, his fall style choices and his upcoming starring role alongside Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie in the tentpole Marvel movie, Eternals. Nanjiani wears an Isaia look on the cover of the Saks men's Fall Book, and can also be seen in menswear by Valentino, Fendi and Ermenegildo Zegna.
"What we've realized is the world is the world, we're all connected, and what happens across the globe, happens to us," Nanjiani tells Saks. When asked about Eternals, he commented: "It seems fitting that we have this global superhero movie coming. Hopefully, it leads to a less myopic vision of the world. It certainly has a very global view of humanity."
