@Jacek I have to admit, it's very interesting to see the differences! Especially because Vogue's history is pretty standard, known, etc. if you're into "vintage" fashion at all. Harper's Bazaar? Not so much, unfortunately. I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of Mazzola's years when I first started looking at them, but they've grown on me.

Thanks for the posting @blueorchid. It’s definitely a solid education of the brand pre-Liz x Fabien Bazaar. Can’t say that Anthony lacked a distinct sensibility— but can’t say I like it either. It’s so of its period and that’s there’s no mistaking it for any era but the tacky 80s LOL Just too 80s musical theatre/Broadway/piano bar mums and their gay BFF in aesthetic for my preference… The cluttered layout alone is a turn-off— like the overstuffed closet of a musical theatre diva’s dressing room… You can smell the suffocating, heaviness of YSL’s Opium; feel the dry, crunchiness of the cans upon cans of aerosol hairspray used in these shoots; hear Duran Duran on the sound system in Scavullo’s studio; ...the massive amount of coke casually shared...

I remember someone once wrote that before Liz x Fabien swept in to revolutionize Bazaar (and the standards of fashion publications in general), it had become this dusty department store catalogue by the late-80s. That’s something interesting to look forward to LOL
 
@Phuel You'll have to keep waiting for the late-late 80s/early 90s stuff... for some reason those years were horribly preserved. I'm not going to bother after some point, but I can't remember the exact year the preservation became awful (I'll go back to the 70s after the 80s are done).

Personally, I think Bazaar outclassed Vogue US (yes, even Vreeland's years!) throughout much of the 1940s and 1960s. I'm at the point where I find the Liz x Fabien years totally overrated due to everyone constantly trying and (failing) to imitate them. Francine Crescent's Vogue Paris is THE fashion editor/ultimate magazine for me.

I had a lot of issues from '71 & '72 and they were just awful. The covers were really bad and the they were trying to hard to make the content relevant with the times regarding using fonts and graphics in their layouts.

Thank god, it lasted a short period of time. By 1973 they were right back on track with beautiful content. I'm sure with Mazzola stepping in that made the difference.

HB routinely used actresses in their issues from the early 70s. Long before it became the norm.
