"Harper's Bazaar" is a distinguished fashion magazine, revered for its contributions to fashion, photography, and graphic design in the twentieth century. Under the direction of Glenda Bailey, editor-in-chief, and Stephen Gan, creative director, in this century, the magazine has maintained its position as a cultural icon. Bailey is known for her elaborate visual productions: fashion features that use pop culture trends and the adventures of notorious public figures as the backdrop for elaborate narratives. The resulting images, shot by well-known photographers and featuring supermodels and super-celebrities, are both entertaining and beautiful. Their ultimate purpose is to bring the best and most inventive fashion to the widest possible audience. "Harper's Bazaar: 2001-2010" is a collection of more than 300 fashion photographs that chronicle the best high fashion of the twenty-first century. It features: Naomi Campbell races a cheetah in Africa in a photograph by Jean-Paul Goude; Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, Donatella Versace, and John Galliano choreograph fantasies about their own fashions; Agyness Deyn pays tribute to Michael Jackson, shot by Terry Richardson; Lagerfeld does Courtney Love doing penance for wearing fake Chanel; Tim Burton, David Lynch, and The Simpsons do high fashion; and, Sarah Jessica Parker models Diana Vreeland for Peter Lindburgh. A celebration of fashion, a romp through a riotous and eventful decade, and a banquet of contemporary imagery, "Harper's Bazaar: 2001-2011" is also a glamorous object in itself.

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.

I used this book as research for a fashion styling class I am taking in London, England. If you need inspiration or images that are on good quality paper, I found this very helpful myself. I bought it on Amazon for just over £20.00, comparable to £60.00 at the book store. It was a new copy and it arrived very fast. I would definitely recommend this book if you are interested in any field to do with fashion,or art. If you think about it, it is the price of 3-4 magazines at the local store. I found every add campaign inspiring and completely worth the purchase. I have only shopped on Amazon for a couple months now, but I have not been disappointed; and I always review the comments of other consumers.

A BOOK TO DREAM ON
5 Sep 2011
By Gail Cooke
- Published on Amazon.com
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.

Amazing

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.
