UK Harper's Bazaar July 2013 : Stella Tennant

[Iconolast]

Adventurous but dated looking, IMO.

I love Gary Hume's wallpaper-esque cover. The colours are beautiful and matched with a white masthead and font.. ugh, just wonderful to look at. Stella's limited edition cover for the V&A make her look as if she's floating. The newsstand cover is the best one outta' the six. You also have to applaud Justine Picardie for allowing such an artistic cover to be produced for the stands. Most magazine editors nowadays are playing it safe with compelling cover lines and attractive colours. The cover for subscribers is a little on the boring side, though. It does feel collectable and exclusive but has nothing else interesting about it. I don't know how many more Cathleen Naundorf shoots we're going to have to endure. Yeah, her photographs are beautiful, very different to what other publications are doing. Although there's zero variation.. and now she's shooting covers, ugh. Naundorf's fantastic for couture shoots, I guess.

I still want to echo my sentiments from the June issue's thread, where I mentioned Justine has clearly diverted away from Lucy Yeomans' Bazaar. As I looked through the issue before, I couldn't help but think the magazine is aimed at farmers who love fashion. There's so much photography and features about the British outdoors, outdoor living and the stately homes which occupy the landscape. The Fashion Pack feature is about.. wait for it.. dogs. Yes, they've selected British women (most of who I've never heard of, aside from Jacquetta Wheeler and Leith Clark) and encouraged them to showcase their canines. Apparently dogs are massive this upcoming season.

Maybe the new Harper's Bazaar won't be the magazine I pick up for hardcore fashion content. The accessories pages continue to be very desirable. They're like a breath of fresh air in this particular issue.

The first cover is the newsstand it does look like, saw it in London today. So the 3rd one must be the V&A one?

I couldn't help but think the magazine is aimed at farmers who love fashion.

Or fashionistas who can afford farms as yet another lifestyle accessory.

Then it's reprinted sadly as it's in the issue.

Visually the new look is beautiful. I imagine they feel they can take more risks with the covers as they have started bagging issues with free gifts.

I do feel the content is very alienating.

Have Hearst purposefully rebranded Elle and Harpers to make them total opposites?

^This is truly wonderful! I love that they didn't go for the obvious choice of casting a model who looks very traditionally northern. With Ros, the result is stunningly beautiful and modern!

^This is from the US edition.

'Get that Golden Glow' by David Slijper was commissioned by and shot for Bazaar UK and directed by Bazaar UK's Beauty Director Sophie Forte.

David Slijper doesn't shoot for Bazaar US so if his work does appear in it it is because they've bought it in from the UK edition.

 

[Nepenthes]

^My bad, then. I saw on models.com that it was for the US edition. So I guess they were wrong.

 

[VogueGirl8910]

Both editorials are stunning.

The past three issues have blurred into one for me to be honest. I feel like I've seen it all before, however even more annoyingly I feel like I've seen it last month.
