Happy 140th Birthday, Bazaar!

Pick up the November issue of Harper's Bazaar and you'll soon realize that one of the greatest fashion magazines, started in 1867, is celebrating it's big 1-4-0! In a world so fickle, lasting that long in any industry is not easy. So let's put our hands together, clear our throats, and sing one of our favorite mags a happy birthday.

In celebration, this month's issue features quotes from the most influential designers today. They were asked former Bazaar columnist Diana Vreeland's famous question, "Why don't you?" and here's what some had to say...

"Why don't you have a different pair of fabulous heels for each day of the week? Especially on the weekends!" - Donatella Versace
"Why don't you break your limit of conventions and dress yourself over-the-top passionately? - Olivier Theyskens, Nina Ricci
"Why don't you wear a short dress to a black-tie gala?" - Alber Elbaz, Lanvin
"Why don't you belt your boyfriend's shirt and wear it as a dress?" - Ralph Lauren
"Why don't you step out in playful polka dots? - Oscar De La Renta

Which Harper's Bazaar July Cover Wins - Fashion or Celebrity?

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:22:31 -0700

Harper's Bazaar invented its dual-cover concept in 2001, but it's especially important today since newsstand sales have become as pertinent as advertising revenue. For its July issue, the mag is giving subscribers a fierce fashion cover shot of model Doutzen Kroes, shot by Terry Richardson. But newsstand shoppers will see a completely different cover, one that features a Getty image of Angelina Jolie taken at the LA premiere of Curious Case of Benjamin Button in December 2008. This is the first time Bazaar is using a stock image and its success rate remains to be seen.

"Our readers told us they are completely fascinated by Angelina Jolie. For us, it's about giving readers what they want, when they want it . . . for our subscribers, who desire a more fashion-forward image, we've got the next great supermodel, Doutzen Kroes. Either way, the reader wins," said a spokesperson. So tell me, which cover do you prefer - fashion or celebrity?

Double Take: Double the Vixen Covers, Double the Fun

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I love a dramatic cover. That's why I loved ultraleggy model Nadja Auermann's September 1994 cover of Bazaar. She pierced my soul with her platinum hair, panther eyes, and icy blue feathers. But wait, doesn't Kate Hudson's 2008 W cover look strikingly similar? I don't know if that was intentional, but it's uncanny. I'm a fan of both ladies, and they both pull off this extreme look, so it's double the fun for me.

Freaky or Fabulous? The Royal Ronsons

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:00:11 -0700

Get out! You may recall yours truly was the melancholy bobbed Margot Tenenbaum for Halloween. Not only is The Royal Tenenbaums Wes Anderson's finest, Bazaar has reinvented the dysfunctional fam with one of New York's crusty yet cool families: the Ronsons.

The twin sisters, Samantha, of Lindsay Lohan fame, and Charlotte, of fashion designer fame, and DJ brother, Mark, have dry wit down pat. From Samantha's fur and Hermes, Mark's Adidas track suit and Charlotte's tennis-esque garb, they nailed the wardrobe. But the Tenenbaum's had attitude, and I have to say, so do the Ronsons.
