I know this is only the second one - so they're obviously still testing things out....but I hope above hope that they take a leaf out of US & UK Bazaar's book and use an outtake that isn't featured in the mag at all for the subs covers.
That's what truly makes them special and collectable.

The editorial is gorgeous. Love Miranda!

Yes I definitely agree! It looks so silly that the subscriber's cover is just a zoomed in version of the ordinary cover.

I wish they have carried on the theme of the editorial onto the cover. The cover is still nice though. And I wish the editorial was longer, I'm sure they had more decent pics than just that.

I prefer her cover to the editorial!
The cover is stunning , her editorial looks ok...

the behind the scenes shots would've made a much nicer editorials.

^ I agree. The behind the scenes shots look so dreamy.

I couldn't agree more! It would have been nice to see something different on the subscribers cover, a shot from the editorial would have been lovely.

I really liked the fairy tale theme of the editorial, and wished that we could have seen more shots.

i can't stand miranda usually (she's just too girl-next-door for my liking) but i fell in love with this editorial! australian publication recently have really stepped it up!

EMBARRASSING TO THE HISTORY OF WHAT HARPERS BAZZAR IS SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE . Look at UK, US , Singapore, Russia ..... All superior in editorial standards. This is a joke . I'm sorry but where is the high standard ?

and you guys really think Miranda looks good? Take the font and the word Bazaar away , insert Cleo, and I see no difference.

Stunning editorial.. this is what these UK, US, Singapore editions mentioned above should be doing.. that is the point of an editorial afterall, to be creative, inspire and still sell. I'm so happy both Bazaar and Vogue Australia are suddenly becoming a force on their own and projecting the free spirit of their land to perfection.
thanks, rox_yr_sox.

Is this editorial from this issue?

[Cicciolina]

Great ed - is Christine Centenera the stylist for that? Mark Vassallo's work never really appeals to me (and he's always getting the cover...)

Hmm ckgirlbr I don't think that's in HB Australia December but I will double check.

The few times I looked at Harper's Bazaar Singapore, I didn't realise they had great editorials but it's been some time since I lived there, maybe I should have another look.

[ponytrot]

^ OMG I agree so much - Mark Vassallo's work leaves me cold, did he at one point do alot of work for Follow? I hated that as well..

Love Alexandra's ed though - stunning styling and photography

[Cicciolina]

Yep Mark did used to be at Follow - I think he was the one who launched it or at least was heavily involved when it first started. I remember back then his look was all the same - highly glossy, highly photoshopped, highly stylised. I don't find his work very 'girl friendly' if you know what I mean, they're aggressive but not in a very 'edgy' way but in a very OTT way. But everyone else seems to love Mark and he's obviously been given all the plum editorials to style, so maybe they know something we don't!

[peachescream]

^ cicciolina - mark styled the where the wild things are editorial, i was shocked too because i usually find his work is brash and not to my taste. however he did a really good job with that editorial, and i have to give credit where credit is due. although it pains me to do so haha... i'm not his biggest fan. this issue is another harpers issue where mark styled all but 1 shoot. He style the cover, the prada by the sea editorial (typical mark) and this one. christine styled the other ed, 'white summer' or something like that.

[Cicciolina]

Thanks Peachescream, I'm pleasantly surprised them. Hopefully his other editorials move more into this direction as well. I stand corrected then, he did a really good job

There's a rumour going around that Claudia Navone has been let go...
