Another great post! Thank you @blueorchid !!

Yes. So interesting to see the stylistic differences (in every respect), between Harper's and Vogue.

 

[blueorchid]

@Jacek I have to admit, it's very interesting to see the differences! Especially because Vogue's history is pretty standard, known, etc. if you're into "vintage" fashion at all. Harper's Bazaar? Not so much, unfortunately. I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of Mazzola's years when I first started looking at them, but they've grown on me.

Wow thank you so much!! Been looking for some of them for ages

This story is so Denis Piel for US Vogue...love it!

American Harper’s Bazaar really liked energy and movement in their editorials. Those photo shoots could be exhausting. I remember them well, but they were very relatable to the reader. I’ve always said that you really can’t have a full understanding of fashion from Vogue alone. It’s only telling part of the story.

Great point! I remember my mother read both every monthly. As a kid, I remember leafing through them and thinking these two magazines are so completely different, and yet, they each fit my mother perfectly.

By people in the business, Harper's was generally, nearly always, considered to be the better and more prestigious to work for.
Until the end of the Mazzola era. And accountants became more important than artists.
