The relaunch of Harper’s Bazaar Italia has proved to be nothing short of spectacular. Since the title’s reintroduction back into the world of print back December 2022, we have been enthralled by covers starring the likes of Vittoria Ceretti, Sara Grace Wallerstedt and Mila van Eeten. Issue #8 is here for the December 2023 (which is effectively Bazaar Italia’s second first anniversary), and editor Daria Veledeeva gifts us not one but two fantasy-inspired covers lensed by renowned fashion photographer Nick Knight. French model Apolline Rocco Fohrer appears on cover one (below), sporting glossy hair and an icy makeup look, wearing an embellished number from Giorgio Armani. In cover two (after the jump), Indian model Avanti Nagrath is dressed in an embroidered cape from Dolce & Gabbana. The two covers are complete with styling from the publication’s fashion director Sissy Vian.
Bazaar Italia’s latest ignited conversation amongst theFashionSpot forum members immediately. “There was everything that could go wrong, but somehow I like it…,” voiced DK92 upon seeing Apolline’s cover.
“Great theme for December,” instantly approved MModa.
“Makes me imagine Apolline as a mermaid,” forum member tigerrouge chimed in.
“The cover with Apolline Rocco Fohrer by Nick Knight is divine! It feels edgy yet festive, extremely fashion-forward and I instantly recognized that heavenly Giorgio Armani dress. The colors are gorgeous too, really love every aspect of that cover,” raved vogue28.
“There’s a lot going on but I still prefer this over Vogue,” stated kokobombon.
Aracic commented: “The lack of neck is very bothersome, but it’s a stunning image that hits the right festive buttons for me. I love just how shiny it all appears!”
