Fashion Magazines


Since its debut in 1867 as America's first fashion magazine, the pages of Harper's Bazaar, first called "Harper's Bazar", has been home to talent such as:

* fashion editors including Carmel Snow, Carrie Donovan, Diana Vreeland, Anna Wintour, Liz Tilberis, Alexey Brodovich,
* photography from Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Man Ray, Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Robert Frank, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Patrick Demarchelier,
* illustrations by Erté (Romain de Tirtoff) and Andy Warhol.
* writer Alice Meynell

When Harper’s Bazaar began publication it was a weekly magazine catering to women in the middle and upper class. They showcased fashion from Germany and Paris in a newspaper design format. It wasn’t until 1901 that Harper’s moved to a monthly issued magazine which it maintains today. Now Harper's Bazaar is owned and operated by the Hearst Corporation in the U.S. and The National Magazine Company in the U.K.



Harper & Brothers founded the magazine. This company also gave birth to Harper's Magazine and HarperCollins Publishing.

Glenda Bailey is the editor-in-chief of U.S. Harper's Bazaar.
