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.

Harper's Bazaar

A women's fashion magazine (originally Bazar) begun in 1867 by Fletcher Harper and brothers, featuring fashion news and feature articles. Of primary interest were its fashion plates, which came from Berlin's counterpart magazine, Der Bazaar, that featured the latest in European fashion reported to the readers of Harper's Bazaar. The magazine was purchased by William Hearst in 1913 and continues today.

The editor-in-chief of the US version is currently Glenda Bailey. The magazine is published in 18 other countries, including Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Chile and Russia.

To the left is actress Lauren Bacall on the cover of the magazine in March 1943.

A Stroke of Genius: The Simpsons in Bazaar

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:20:22 -0700

As you all know by now: I love a fashion surprise. Thank you Harper's Bazaar for conceiving something so brilliantly bizarre as this spread in the August issue with the all-American family soon to be on the silver screen, The Simpsons. Illustrated by The Simpsons layout artist, Julius Preite, these fun-filled pages feature the cast in collections and designers from the Fall RTW collections with a special cameo from my favorite all-time supermodel - guess who?!

My favorite bits include the ladies lounging in sultry Versace, Marge's hats, and the ever-bazaar Viktor & Rolf. What do you think? Brilliant? Bizarre? Or, brilliantly bizarre?

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?

Happy 140th Birthday, Bazaar!

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:00:22 -0800

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

Russian model Natalia Vodianova was named best-dressed woman of 2007, followed by British actress Thandie Newton and British model Agyness Deyn, who has been crowned "the new Kate Moss" by the British press.

Meanwhile, British actresses Sienna Miller (18th), Keira Knightley (21st), Rachel Weisz (22nd), Kate Winslet (23rd) and Emma Watson (24th) did not make the top ten. Do you think Natalia deserves the number one spot?!
