Great cover...i cannot help but wonder maybe the bigger editions of HB are under so much pressure than kill their creativity or criteria?...smaller edititions of HB are much better than the american...

 

[Horizontina]

Even though it is recycled material, a suboptimal option for an edition that should know better, this piece on Charlotte is an excellent fit for Harper's Bazaar España. Just as Vogue España used to stand out for producing insightful, above-paygrade art content, Spanish HB had quite a taste for literary topics, a taste that reached its finest when it came to contemporary poetry. For all the changes the magazine has undergone through the years, the spirit remains there, somewhere. This cover and interview feel organic to Harper's Bazaar España and true to that spirit.

Although this issue (as a whole) looks very solid, more than 80% (if not 90%!) of the fashion content is "recycled material" (@Horizontina, have I ever told you that I ADORE YOU?!! ), i.e. reprints from the other HB editions. Which is very sad, considering when it comes to HB España, we are used to very strong, and - even more significantly! - original content(s).

(If I find some spare time between dozens of my deadlines , later I'll try to upload some of them, which we - still - haven't seen here, on TFS...)

What a great profile shot!

It's a great photograph that is being overshadowed by questionable design elements.

At the moment, a lot of Bazaar covers have the feel of being editorial images upgraded to appearing on the front of the magazine, as opposed to images specially shot for the purposes of being a cover.

And yet they're still many times better than what we see on most editions of Vogue right now.

This is a close-cropped version of the opening image in the Charlotte Casiraghi Chanel editorial from Feb UK Bazaar, a feature which was well-received at the time, with @vogue28 even saying:

However, those photographs of Charlotte Casiraghi feel like a total breath of fresh air and would've quite liked to have seen that first image as the cover (unconventional but fresh for February).

Reprints: in the right hands, a second chance to do better.

I want to like it but her jaw and neckline look so badly shaved off.

good cover with simple and elegant style.

This is exactly the kind of cover that Vogue Paris should be doing. How does Harpers Bazaar Spain have a better creative direction and a more interesting vision than Vogue Paris at the moment? So sad!
