As America's longest-running fashion magazine, Harper's Bazaar has
long been revered for its contributions to fashion, photography,
and graphic design and has remained a prominent cultural icon since
1867 showcasing the visions of legendary editors, photographers,
and stylists - as well as works by notable literary writers and
serious journalists. Timed to coincide with an exhibition at the
Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this volume traces the story of
this celebrated publication from visionary founding editor, Mary
Louise Booth, to Glenda Bailey, who has helmed the magazine for the
last two decades and is known for commissioning dazzling visual
features that frame fashion in the context of contemporary pop
culture and aesthetics. Featuring groundbreaking work by all of the
greats of fashion photography and designs by fashion luminaries
from Madeleine Vionnet and Cristobal Balenciaga to Yves Saint
Laurent and Christian Dior and up to the present with Karl
Lagerfeld, Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, and Marc Jacobs just to
name a few, this book is a must have for anyone interested in
fashion. The book goes on to profile a roster of eminent
contributors who were instrumental in maintaining Bazaar's ongoing
relevance and influence over the decades including Erte, Edward
Steichen, Leon Bakst, Diana Vreeland, Jean Cocteau, Dali, Man Ray,
Avedon, e.e. cumming, Marianne Moore, Truman Capote, Carson
McCullers, and many other photographers, artists, and writers.
Organized chronologically, the selections showcase the breadth of
creativity and artistry that has been published in the pages of the
magazine for more than a century and prove that Harper's Bazaar is
more than just a fashion magazine.
