Winner: Harper’s Bazaar
Month to month, Harper’s Bazaar consistently delivers covers with personality, design and editorial direction that simply pops off the newsstand. When fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker graces a cover, she is trotting .jpg) in high fashion across the Brooklyn Bridge, melding a celebrity with a narrative that rings true for the magazine’s target.
Harper’s Bazaar makes fashion fun again in these striking images. The Peter Lindbergh image of Kate Winslet hanging out into the New York skyline was dramatic, perfectly composed and unforgettable. With sparing use of headlines and a generous use of open space on the cover, HB draws you into the style and the situation but always communicates the magazine’s tone and sense of humor. The Scarlett Johansson Valentine’s Day cover was whimsical, visually complex and yet fully focused on the star’s radiant face and personality. Harper’s Bazaar gives us covers worth waiting for each month because it defies the usual fashion style of planting a celebrity face amid a sea of headlines. Every cover has a point, an editorial mission and a touch of the magazine’s perspective. Disinterested models with their lobotomized stares need not apply.
