Book Description

September 1, 2011

Harper’s Bazaar is America’s longest-running fashion magazine, revered for its style-setting contributions to fashion, photography, and graphic design. Under the direction of Glenda Bailey in this decade, the magazine has maintained its position as a prominent cultural icon. Bailey is known for commissioning dazzling visual features that frame fashion in the context of contemporary pop culture and aesthetics. Shot by well-known photographers and featuring supermodels and supercelebrities, Bazaar’s fashion photography is always beautiful—and entertaining. Harper’s Bazaar: Greatest Hits is a collection of more than 300 photographs that chronicle the best fashion of our time. A celebration of fashion, a romp through a riotous and eventful decade, and a banquet of contemporary imagery, Harper’s Bazaar: Greatest Hits is also a glamorous object in itself.

Praise for Harper's Bazaar

“So if you love pop culture and you love fashion, you'll want to pick up a copy of Harper’s Bazaar: Greatest Hits, a new book that’s packed with both.”
—Cosmopolitan.com

“The images, taken by some of the world’s greatest photographers, are awe-inspiring.”
—ARTINFO

“It’s been 10 years since editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey took the reins at Harper’s Bazaar, and the magazine is celebrating the milestone with a splashy coffee table book. Harper’s Bazaar: Greatest Hits (Abrams) illustrates Bailey and creative director Stephen Gan’s tenure through more than 300 colorful images, organized chronologically. The mag’s memorable moments also include essays from luminaries like Patti Smith and our own Arianna Huffington, who wrote about the politics of fashion prior to the 2008 presidential election.”
—Stylelist.com

“This book is a fashion lover’s dream.” 
—WhoWhatWear.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK TO DREAM ON September 5, 2011
Format:Hardcover
If you missed seeing the Bergdorf Goodman windows that held a parade of shots from Glenda Bailey's book, not to worry - enjoy this luxe volume rich with over 300 images that editor in chief Bailey considers the magazine's "epic moments." Epic they are - imaginative, unforgettable, irreplaceable such as Marc Jacobs posing in painted Louis Vuitton logos, Naomi Campbell racing with a cheetah, the vaunted 2010 cover that Demi Moore shares with a giraffe, and so much more.

Displayed in a generous 320 page 10" by 13" volume these iconic images seem to leap from the pages. A great deal of the pleasure for this reader was being able to return again and again to a picture and each time catching details that had been missed before. One is struck by the skills of photographers such as Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, David Sims, and Mario Sorrenti, and admittedly covetous of the gorgeous designs by Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Miuccia Prada, and more.

Harper's Bazaar: Greatest Hits is also a chronology of celebrities (my favorite being Julianne Moore), and outstanding writers who have contributed to the magazine, such as Candace Bushnell and Carrie Fisher. It is, of course, an elegant art book and perhaps most importantly for most of us it's a book to dream on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anything goes with style October 1, 2011
Format:Hardcover
This is a big heavy coffee table book that is more than the stunning pictures of style and celebrities that it presents. There are articles from celebrities, such as; Ali MacGraw -"I was Diana Vreeland's assistant" and Karl Lagerfeld's chats with Coco Chanel.

Through these pages you see high fashion and thoughts from 2001 to 2011; although the first few years get a shorter coverage. 2001 is only 6 pages long, while2011 covers 48 pages. The photographs are mostly in colour and full page and described with who is in them, the photographer and designer responsible. The pictures run the gamut from high style, cutting edge, leaping, clothes flowing to just elegant posing. There are interesting insights to style; even what was taking place in the world at the time. We learn that the sales of bright red lipstick and other bright colours increase during hard times.
There is an index containing the people covered within the pages of the book

This would be of interest to all who are devotees of fashion, high style, photography and of course of `Harper's Bazaar' itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing December 18, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Harper's Bazaar is known for its spectacular fashion photography and this beautiful book is the best testimony. It is a huge thick book full of amazing large full color covers and fashion shoots that graced the pages of Harper's throughout the last decade. The book also includes some articles written by celebrities. The book shows a wide range of stunning clothes designed by the world's top designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, and Marc Jacobs just to name a few. This book is a great addition to all fans of beautiful fashion photography. I only wish Harper's would consider releasing another volume chronicling their classical and early issues, but until then Diana Vreeland : The Eye Has to Travel , serves that end by providing a series of beautiful archival covers and fashion editorials. Both books are highly recommended.
