I suppose Angelina didnt want another VF fiasco on her hands....

The issue marks Angelina Jolie’s first Harper’s Bazaar US cover in eight years. The actress/humanitarian was photographed at a wildlife sanctuary that she has supported for years in Namibia, surrounded by cheetahs. She styled herself and wrote the accompanying article herself, too. “She is someone who walks her talk and she has been so instrumental in highlighting women's issues and conservation issues,” says Bailey.

The anniversary issue also marks a significant redesign for Harper’s Bazaar. In order to further emphasise the magazine’s premium value to readers, Bailey and design director Elizabeth Hummer evolved the magazine’s layout to more closely resemble that of an actual coffee table book. The issue — which retains some of the signature design elements, such as the table of contents — is organized around five clean, distinct chapters: must-haves, ageless style, news, beauty and "dream" (cover stories and features). Each is anchored by a personal essay, including model Linda Evangelista on the “dress that changed my life,” and Salman Rushdie on powerful women, the latter of which is accompanied by exclusive work by the artist Kara Walker.

“How do we create a story that is memorable and distinctive and reflects what's going on in our society today?” asks Bailey, pointing to an editorial that features models including Hari Nef, Halima Aden and Winnie Harlow recreating historic works of art. (“Madame X,” “The Girl with the Pearl Earring,” and “Mona Lisa,” respectively.)

“[Celebrities] know when they are talking to Bazaar that they're going to have to do something extraordinary.” To be sure, Bailey's cover stories are traditionally not for the faint of heart. During her Marie Claire days, she sent Gwyneth Paltrow to survive alone on an island off the coast of Belize for three days for a 1998 cover, and Brooke Shields to Canada to build an igloo by hand in 2000.

“People want to see something they've never seen before,” Bailey says. “There's so much noise out there that there is such a need for integrity.” While Bailey may not be retiring yet, she already has nailed down the essence of her legacy. “I wanted to create a party that everybody's invited to,” she says of her body of work at Bazaar. “And that's what happened.”

Fabulous. I always like seeing the behind the scenes. Where are these types of stories now at Harper’s Bazaar?
I should have kept my mouth shut because as much as Glenda was borderline tacky, it was at least interesting and had some life to it. Now Bazaar just looks like a constant advertisement for depression and death.

What a wonderful behind-the-scenes video to explain the shoot!!! LOVED it, Alexi is an amazing photographer and he's absolutely great at communication. He oozes that good smart humain quality, I can't explain it, you want to trust him coz he has that ''thing'' that is calm, reassuring and good-hearted personality. It was a wonderful story and I love that covershoot thank you Hafyiez wafa.
