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?

Is Kate Moss sliding from the graces of fashion? British Harper's Bazaar seems to think so.

The magazine, which releases its best dressed women in Britain 2007 list tomorrow, placed Moss in 10th place this year, even though she topped the list in 2004, came second in 2005, and was third in 2006.

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?!

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.

Freaky or Fabulous: Georgina Chapman Poses With Exotic Animals

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:00:08 -0800

We can't help but be amused by the oxymoron between the ethereal gowns Georgina Chapman creates for Marchesa and the dark nature of her photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar, shot by by Peter Lindbergh. Channeling the energy of the brand's muse - European socialite Marchesa Lusia Casati - Chapman dressed up to look like Casati with fluffy hair and a moody makeup palette. But what really catches our attention are the writhing snakes and cheetahs pictured with Chapman. It's definitely a side of Marchesa we're not used to seeing; do you think it's freaky or fabulous?

Fab Face: Constance Jablonski

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It was good to be Constance Jablonski during the Spring '10 shows. The French stunner booked more shows - 72! - than any other model this season. Trailing behind her were Kasia Struss at 61 and Hanne Gaby Odiele at 56. So if Constance walked at least twice in each show, then that means she showed off about 144 looks. Whoa.

The 19-year-old is clearly a rising star; she has a tall, svelte bod, gorgeous blue eyes, just-right lips, and a perfect jaw. In the three years she's been in the industry, she's worked for Givenchy, Teen Vogue, Topshop, Donna Karan, La Perla, Moschino, Harper's Bazaar . . . the list goes on and on. Constance is a constant, so keep your eyes peeled.

Get to know Constance better.
