When Harper’s Bazaar began publication, it was a weekly magazine catering to women in the middle and upper classes. They showcased fashion from Germany and Paris in a newspaper-design format. It was not 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. Hearst purchased the magazine in 1912.
Harper & Brothers
founded the magazine. This company also gave birth to Harper’s Magazine
and HarperCollins Publishing

It’s interesting to note that, during this late Victorian period, as the women’s suffrage movement was gaining momentum (American women did not all win the right to vote until 1920 with the passing of the 19th Amendment
), the introduction of more tailored dresses and jackets coincided with women’s new sense of feminism. Bazaar also began profiling prominent socialites, such as the Astors
and the Griscoms.
to a windswept beach to shoot a swimwear spread. As the model ran toward the camera, Munkacsi took the picture that made fashion-magazine history. Until that moment, nearly all fashion was carefully staged on mannequin-like models in a studio. Snow’s buoyant spirit (she rarely slept or ate, although she had a lifelong love affair with the three-martini lunch) and wicked sense of adventure brought life to the pages of Bazaar. Snow’s genius came from cultivating the “best” people. Her first big find was art director Alexey Brodovitch, who innovated Bazaar’s iconic Didot logo. Brodovitch is perhaps best known for his work with Richard Avedon, who, as a young photographer, was so determined to work at Bazaar that he endured the humiliation of 14 canceled interviews before finally being hired. Snow also unleashed the force of nature known as Diana Vreeland
, whom she brought on as fashion editor in 1936. The collaboration of these four visionaries resulted in some of the germane fashion shoots of the 20th century and ended only with Snow’s retirement, at the age of 70, in 1957.
and immediately offered Brodovitch a job as Bazaar’s art director. Throughout his career at the magazine, Brodovitch, a Russian émigré (by way of Paris), revolutionized magazine design. With his directive “Astonish me,” he inspired some of the greatest visual artists of the 20th century (including protégés Irving Penn
, Hiro
, and, of course, Richard Avedon). Brodovitch’s signature use of white space, his innovation of Bazaar’s iconic Didot logo, and the cinematic quality that his obsessive cropping brought to layouts (not even the work of Man Ray and Henri Cartier-Bresson
was safe from his busy scissors) compelled Truman Capote
to write, "What Dom Pérignon
was to champagne ... so [Brodovitch] has been to ... photographic design and editorial layout." Sadly, Brodovitch's personal life was less triumphant. Plagued by alcoholism, he left Bazaar in 1958 and eventually moved to the south of France, where he died in 1971.

dress and a bolero with roses in her hair one evening in 1936, she knew she'd found Bazaar’s newest staffer. Diana, who is said to have invented the word "pizzazz", first came to the attention of readers with her “Why Don't You ... ?” column. (A typical suggestion: "Why don't you ... wear, like the Duchess of Kent
, three enormous diamond stars arranged in your hair in front?") Before long, she became fashion editor, collaborating with photographers Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Richard Avedon and, later, art director Henry Wolf. Her eccentricity, perception and wit, as well as her sharp wit and sweeping pronouncements (“I adore that pink! It’s the navy blue of India,” “Elegance is refusal!”), were memorialized in the movie Funny Face, making her, for many, the prototypical fashion-magazine editor.
began creating fashion portfolios for Harper’s Bazaar at the age of 22. His distinctive photographs showed both chic insouciance and boundless vitality. Avedon’s women lept off curbs, roller-skated on the Place de la Concorde
, and were seen in nightclubs, enjoying the freedom and fashions of the postwar era.
He was immortalized in the 1957 film Funny Face
by the character Dick Avery (played by Fred Astaire
), who asked, “What’s wrong with bringing out a girl who has character, spirit, and intelligence?”

The New York Times
noticed the changes she made at Harper’s Bazaar, highlighting how the magazine had been “looking a little dowdy,” but that Moore had “noticeably sharpened the magazine’s fashion point of view” by showing “brighter, younger and more stylish,” complimenting her use of “young and exciting fashion photographers,” such as Oliviero Toscani
.
The magazine has won several awards, including Consumer Magazine of the Year. The editor Lucy Yeomans won the BSME Editor’s Editor award in 2007. The Fashion Director of Harper’s Bazaar UK is Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou, founder of 10 and 10 Men magazines, who replaced Alison Edmond for the February 2010 issue.

Harper’s Bazaar UK
In November 1970, the Hearst Corporation’s Harper’s Bazaar UK (founded in 1929) and Queen magazine (which dated from 1862) amalgamated to form Harpers & Queen. The magazine focused on British “high society” and the lives of socialites and the British aristocracy. Over the last 5 years it has repositioned itself as Harper’s Bazaar, bringing it in line with its international sister titles. The magazine no longer concerns itself with the narrow interests of the society world and is very meritocratic in terms of whom it will feature. Recent interviews have included subjects as diverse as the actor/director George Clooney, artist Richard Prince and British singer Leona Lewis.The magazine has won several awards, including Consumer Magazine of the Year. The editor Lucy Yeomans won the BSME Editor’s Editor award in 2007. The Fashion Director of Harper’s Bazaar UK is Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou, founder of 10 and 10 Men magazines, who replaced Alison Edmond for the February 2010 issue.
