This issue is a favorite. It would most likely end up in my top five list if I had one. As the 2009 March issues hit the newsstands, lets look back to 1997....

This kind of edit really epitomizes the genius of Harper's Bazaar in those days. Stunning doesn't have to be show offy.
ReplyDeletestella is in the air these days.
ReplyDeleteshe's such a strong image.
amazing.
ReplyDeletei love 1997
looooove this, everything about it. breathtaking.
ReplyDeletethese images should be hanging on a wall. every line, every gesture, every shadow, every frame comes together so impeccably for maximum impact. back then even the cropping techniques and what they left out was just as meaningful and riveting as the image itself.
ReplyDeletehave you seen the latest HB cover?
it's not looking good..
the 4th picture inspired the colors i am using for the blog right now. i couldn't resist....i just love how the clothes balance perfectly with the backgrounds.
ReplyDeletei agree, the currant hb is if-y. they are going thru such an identity crisis. i wish they would take a deep breath and go thru the liz tilberis archives. how i miss her.
I remember this issue. Great editorial by Stella.
