Here is Ruth Ansel's story about this issue:

One day in 1963 Marvin had a huge fight with the magazine’s editor in chief Nancy White over a Dick Avedon cover. Diana Vreeland was the fashion editor of Bazaar at the time, and I think that Dick was very angry that the job had gone to Nancy – who was a white-gloved Catholic lady and the niece of [one-time Bazaar editor in chief] Carmel Snow, instead of Vreeland. Because Marvin and Dick were naughty boys, they shot this cover with a model called Danielle Weil, who looked suspiciously like Diana Vreeland – nothing like your typical pretty and glamorous model. To make matters worse, Nancy thought it was a man in drag, so she wanted to kill the cover. Marvin went ballistic and told Nancy to go f*ck herself and she fired him. Suddenly Bea and I found ourselves the art directors. It was a strategic move by the powers that be, who were biding time until they could find a suitable – male – replacement. I would’ve liked to know what was said and by whom to eventually convince Nancy White and Diana Vreeland to wait and see how we got on instead of firing us. My guess is it had to be Dick [Avedon]. He was a powerful influence at the magazine, and everyone listened to him. Don’t forget, this was a photographer who had already had much financial success as well as name recognition – the Hollywood movie Funny Face was about Avedon, with Fred Astaire as the photographer ‘Dick Avery’ – so I think his radical suggestion intrigued everyone. Looking back, I give the Bazaar folks lots of credit for taking a chance on two untested young girls. It was never once discussed with Dick, and I regret that I never properly thanked him then or later on.

I have this issue. The cover was supposedly a "Homage" to Diana Vreeland

Hey Guys,
I created a thread about Harper's Bazaar during Nancy White's editorship. Feel free to share the editorials etc. from her tenure at Bazaar.
