''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: 2[zasłonięte]001-20'' 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;

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

riotous and eventful decade, and a banquet of
contemporary imagery, ''Harper's Bazaar: 2[zasłonięte]001-20'' is
also a glamorous object in itself. |
