Change is in the air at Harper’s Bazaar Italia. Massimo Russo was named editor-in-chief in July (succeeding Daria Veledeeva). Stefano Tonchi is the editorial director, and Paul Sinclaire was appointed fashion editor at large last month. The first issue under the new team is here for October 2024.
To kick-start Bazaar‘s Italia’s latest chapter and to officially usher in the changing of the guard, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin were commissioned as cover shoot photographers. The Dutch creative duo produces four collectible black and white covers for the occasion, featuring four models of the moment. Cover one sees Nigina Sharipova strike a pose in Alaïa. On the second cover, Libby Bennett takes to the streets of Paris in monochromatic Balenciaga. Ella Mccutcheon gazes down I&V’s lens wearing Chanel on the third cover offering. The fourth and final cover sees Vivienne Rohner take a walk along The Seine (also sporting Chanel).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Nigina Sharipova? Didn’t see that one coming,” shared myran the moment
“Exciting to see I&V shooting for Harper’s Bazaar Italia,” exclaimed mikel.
Sharing the same enthusiasm was vogue28. “The new team appears to be putting Harper’s Bazaar Italia on the map, and I’m here for it. The magazine undoubtedly needed a refresh, with each cover/issue starting to feel the same. The first cover with Nigina Sharipova is the best, it’s giving me Veruschka by Richard Avedon and I love the purple with the black and white,” he applauded.
“Love everything about the cover with Sharipova,” MModa echoed.
