I think it’s a beautiful shot for sure, but I’m really bored of this recycling of content. In a digital age it’s even worse - they know that most people will have already seen the cover / imagery circulating on social media from its original source.

A nice surprise to see this in the mail so sudden after its release today but the Bazaar masthead and cover lines are far darker (almost black) in person which completely ruins the cover for me. The cover comes across very warm online but in reality is more dull and empty, which I find disappointing.

Always shot in forest.

‘Days of Heaven’ and ‘Born to Rewild’ are good editorials with nice shots that set the mood for the upcoming season.

the cover however, leaves me cold.

At least some edition appreciates Samira Nasr's creative direction

Yet another month when American reprints are forced upon them for finance/advertising reasons. More often than not, the reprinted material just doesn't fit with the readership of UK Bazaar.

I like the way Hailey Bieber gets a tiny mention on the cover. The women reading this magazine will have daughters going to university or starting good jobs, Hailey Bieber is going to look like a waste of space. There's not going to be any 'influencing'.

My print subscription copy has also just turned up in the post. There were some terrible design elements introduced in the previous issue, let's see if they're still going... yep, the jarring mishmash of traditional and modern fonts continues.

They've stuck the US Bazaar reprint in its own special section, enveloped in a Tiffany's promotional folded insert, like the editorial has been quarantined. If you don't want to see it, you can flick right past it in one move. Bad Bunny is nowhere to be seen.

I refuse to forgive them for the font thing. I'm sure some could ignore it, but for me, it's ruined the feel of the magazine, which I really used to enjoy. I've no interest in appreciating the editorials.

Saw a copy of this today sat on the shelves in WHSmith and immediately noticed the Harper's Bazaar masthead and fonts were much lighter, more brown than what I received as a subscriber. They must've printed two covers with different colorings, surely.

On your subscription copy @[B]tigerrouge[/B], is the Bazaar masthead and cover lines black as opposed to brown?

On my subscription copy, the coverlines are chestnut brown?

If I look on eBay, I can see some covers look black, no mistaking it, while another copy looks like it almost has dark gold writing - definitely much lighter.
