Ever since the magazine relaunched back in March 2023, we have been living for Harper’s Bazaar France. Can you blame us? Complete with Olivier Lalanne as editor, covers with Rianne van Rompaey, Imaan Hammam, Eva Herzigova and Laetitia Casta have blown us away (not to mention last month’s sublime offering starring Catherine Deneuve) and with the October 2023 edition, the French fashion title soars to new heights.
As the French fashion glossy unveils its latest, the fashion industry’s affection for Amelia Gray only continues to grow. The American model’s portfolio currently boasts a blue-chip campaign for Miu Miu and magazine covers for V Magazine and Vogue Japan. Now a Harper’s Bazaar France cover girl, Amelia can be found posing before the lens of Karim Sadli and brings some serious retro glamour to not one but two sensational covers. In cover one (below), Amelia is captured in Sadli’s signature black and white, posing topless wearing a flower-embroidered Prada skirt and a hat from the archives designed by Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga. For the second alternative cover (after the jump), stylist Élodie David-Touboul dressed Amelia in a felt hat and plastic visor from Pierre Cardin, in addition to a nylon cape from Coperni.
Unsurprisingly, members of theFashionSpot forums were left in awe. “Looove this,” raved Ihhbl at once.
“This is good, Bazaar for the win,” heralded zoom.
“It is absolutely AMAZING to see a French fashion title rise to the occasion and leave Vogue France in the shade. Harper’s Bazaar France has undeniably risen to the occasion, and each and every cover they produce is just as gorgeous as the last. Very much into this, and how nicely it evokes the very early years of Harper’s Bazaar. Perrrrrfect,” enthused vogue28.
In the same frame of mind was NYLA22: “I love it. I never use this word, but this cover is so CHIC. It’s shocking to see beautiful covers amid all of the mediocrity coming from various Vogues around the world.”
“I really love what French Bazaar has been doing. The only fashion magazine I’m subscribed to at the moment. Love the layout, restraint, and the visual consistency throughout each issue,” applauded violetcai0802.
