seventy years
ago, Harper’s Bazaar launched
Junior Bazaar—and for almost that long
I’ve wanted to bring it back. this month we unveil
the up-to-date version, harper by Harper’s Bazaar, a con-
temporary supplement for young women presented by Bazaar
and with thanks to nordstrom. as an editor, I’ve found that the
most important quality is the “editor’s eye”—following your gut instinct
while prizing innovation and ideas. the job requires that you look to
the past and the future while keeping your feet frmly planted in the pres-
ent. alexa Chung has this quality. as a model, journalist, and television
presenter, alexa is the very embodiment of an editor, making her the perfect
choice to guest-edit harper. In the next several pages, you’ll see alexa’s vision,
from her Best-Dressed List, which includes Caroline de Maigret and
solange Knowles, to her How Bazaar ode to her idol Charlotte rampling.
and being the groovy girl that she is, she sports a brand-new very
blonde look (her “childhood career ambition”) in the cover story.
alexa, like our harper reader, has amazing style and personality.
Whether wearing her signature navy sweater and jeans or
the mod styles in her cover story, she exemplifes the
power of great taste. she’s as smart and cool
as she dresses. enjoy harper.It’s all in the eye: Alexa Chung
