OMG this is just sad. The cover is horrific and I don't like a single photo from the editorial. Gwen always made great covers, she knows how to pose, but this is the opposite.

 

[jermaineho]

it is lovely and cute indeed.

The text overload is kind of insane, but otherwise I love it! Great to see Gwen on a major cover and, for my money, she has aged better than anyone I can think of. A fun and sensible editorial from Terry? Quelle surprise!

I hate that Mabille flower. so cheap that I can really use some fire to burn it down.

 

[Srdjan]

That man is the worst fashion photographer ever.

 

[LabelWhore4]

There is way too much type on the cover but the image itself is quite nice. Beautiful styling!

Terry always fails to deliver for this magazine. And this is definitely no exception. It looks awful. it's just sad cause you got Gwen on your cover and yet this is the result that you've come out with?

Glenda should be replaced like seriously.

This is Amazing!

Don't care for the ed but I love the cover.

Gwen is beautiful and is able to shoot like a model, yet Bazaar insists on sticking her and other celebrities with a misogynistic photographer who isn't talented in the craft. Bazaar ought to take a page from Vogue who ditched Terry a few years ago. Terry can take Bazaar's astrology pages with him too, they're well matched in their level of bull****.

Decent yet a bit try hard. THINK PINK?

The cover and editorial are awful. Gwen looks amazing because she IS amazing, but the photography and styling are beyond boring and basic. They could have done SO much better with her. HB is hopeless.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

this is tragic... she is so beautiful but they absolutely not embrace it

 

[Melancholybaby]

I was secretly praying for some other photographer to shoot her but I gess it didn't happen and it's a shame because she can photgraph so well. At least there'll be eds that will warrant a purchase.

Why is the FASHION text as big as the title? Why does Gwen's face only take up about 10% of the cover when it's a close up? And why should we "Think Pink!" for a Fall fashion issue? I feel like this cover is about everything but Gwen, all the text and the headpiece combined is just way too much, it takes the focus away from her and makes this look like a table of content page more than a cover. It's also just a really unexciting shot anyway. The editorial is really bad, too. Gwen deserves better than that lazy styling. The 3rd and the 7th shot are ok but they look like they were meant to be cover shots and not part of an editorial. Gah, this is so bad, I'm losing my last bit of hope for Harper's Bazaar. Apart from the choice of cover subjects having been decent for the last few issues I really don't feel like anything has changed for the better since the revamp, the layout and the art direction are just mediocre at best.

Glenda should leave indeed. There is so much untapped talent out there.

Decent yet a bit try hard. THINK PINK?

Yes, think pink! A reference to the classic movie 'Funny Face' inspired by Richard Avedon and Harper's Bazaar from the the 50's

 

[Rigida]

it's a pretty good cover actually
just banish, burn and bury the overload text

Gwen I do actually like the cover, she looks radiant.
