I actually kind of like this. Then again I'm so bored with most covers now that anything different appeals, and I like that she's not looking at the camera, trying to seduce the viewer into buying the magazine.
I've always been a Vogue Aus reader rather than Harper's Bazaar Aus, but lately I've actually been tempted to buy Harper's.
Basically at some point whilst procrastinating about uni work I'll go and actually read some recent back issues. I've generally preferred the quality of the written articles in Vogue - if Harpers is better AND the eds are better/more artistic and fashionable, I may be tempted to switch.
