What is Harpers Bazaar?
Harper’s Bazaar is an iconic American fashion magazine which is published in 18 countries in addition to the United States. The magazine has become famous for featuring cutting edge fashion, design, and photography, making it a must-have for “the well-dressed woman and the well-dressed mind.” Many magazine stands stock Harper’s Bazaar, and subscriptions to the monthly publication are also available from a number of sources. In addition to being an icon in the American fashion industry, Harper’s Bazaar also bears the distinction of being the oldest American fashion magazine. It was founded in 1867 by Harper and Brothers, the same force behind Harper’s Magazine and HarperCollins Publishing Group. Initially, Harper’s Bazar, as it was then known, was a weekly publication; in 1901, the publishers switched to a monthly format.
