History
[edit]Harper's Bazaar entered Italy in October 1966 when the horse-racing magazine Derby was rebranded to Derby Harper's Bazaar.[4][5] Following the December 1968 issue Derby and Harper's Bazaar were split into separate publications.[5][6] Derby (founded in 1946) would merge with Esquire in 1974, ceasing publication in 1987.[7][8]
Bob Krieger served as Art Director from 1970 to 1975.[9] In 1977, Lizzette Kattan was appointed to the role of fashion director.[10] During Kattan's tenure the magazine would launch the career of supermodel Gia Carangi following the production of back-to-back shoots for the magazine with photographer Chris von Wangenheim.[10]
In December 1997, Hearst revoked the license for the magazine held by Giuseppe della Schiava reporting that royalties had not been paid for several years.[11]
Harper's Bazaar returned to the Italian market in February 2020 with a digital-only presence, based around 'BAZAAR TV' a content-based platform that featured videos on fashion and lifestyle. The platform was modelled after a range of TV formats and genres and distributed on third-party networks such as the Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata, Di Lei magazine, and on Huawei Video.[12]
Alan Prada served as the editor-in-chief (formerly of Elle Italia, L'Uomo Vogue, and Vogue Italia) of the publication and the magazine was set to enter print in the second half of 2020.[1] However, the print debut never eventuated and Prada exited his position in 2021.[13]
In September 2022 Daria Veledeeva (formerly editor-in-chief of Russian Harper's Bazaar from 2009 to 2022) was appointed editor-in-chief of the magazine, Marc Ascoli (formerly of AnOther and Yohji Yamamoto) was appointed as executive creative director, and Sissy Vian (formerly of Vogue Italia and Vogue Japan) was appointed to the role of creative fashion director.[2] Harper's Bazaar Italia returned to print in December 2022, six print issues were published in 2023 and ten print issues a year from 2024.[14]
Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding were appointed to the position of executive creative directors in 2024, replacing Marc Ascoli.[3][15] Stefano Tonchi (formerly of W and L'Officiel) was then appointed to the role of editorial director in May 2024.[15] Followed by the resignation of Veledeeva in July, she was replaced by Massimo Russo, Veledeeva moved into the role of editor-at-large.[3]
M/M Paris (Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak) were appointed executive creative directors in April 2025, the first issue under their direction was September 2025.[16]
