As editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar France, Olivier Lalanne has been extremely good to us in terms of the magazine’s cover stars. From the get-go, subjects have ranged from French icons like Catherine Deneuve and Vanessa Paradis to a whole plethora of top models like Rianne van Rompaey, Imaan Hammam, Kaia Gerber and the iconic Naomi Campbell. On the magazine’s recently-unveiled August 2024 cover is Zaho de Sagazan. Shot inside the photographic studio of Oliver Hadlee Pearch, the French singer-songwriter and musician bends over backwards (quite literally) as Bazaar France’s latest cover girl. Styled by Élodie David-Touboul, Zaho wears a black leather dress from Nicolas Ghesquière‘s 10-year Louis Vuitton collection for Fall 2024.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Messy. It looks like an art project,” critiqued crmsn.
“This might be their worst cover,” exclaimed forum member avonlea002.
“I’m with you,” replied vogue28. “I’ve come to admire Harper’s Bazaar France a great deal since its relaunch. However, I am simply unable to like and defend this. There’s genuinely not one redeeming quality…”
MModa wasn’t best impressed either, commenting: “Not in love with the cover photograph or the typography. The result is lackluster, especially after a double month issue.”
