Harper’s Bazaar Italia has undergone some major restructuring over recent months. Massimo Russo was named editor-in-chief (succeeding Daria Veledeeva). Stefano Tonchi became editorial director. Paul Sinclaire was appointed fashion editor at large last month. Creative director Marc Ascoli was replaced by Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding. The first issue under the new team last month gave us a whole plethora of covers lensed by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Taking to the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Italia for November 2024 is Libby Bennett. The British model poses for photographer Alasdair McLellan across a duo of covers, centered around the theme of youth. Styled by Alice Goddard, Bennett wears looks from Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton in the two vibrant cover photographs.

“Please bring back Marc Ascoli. These Suburbia guys are just not it,” critiqued GivenchyAddict of the magazine’s new creative director duo.

“BringBackAscoli,” pleaded ellarchivist.

“The change of editor-in-chief immediately resulted in a downgrade in covers,” noted TashaRose.

Srdjan confessed: “Not a fan of the covers this month!”

“Alasdair is so BORING!” DK92 declared.

“After last month’s Inez & Vinoodh offering, this feels like a setback. Nevertheless, I do like how vibrant and fresh these covers are. There’s zero denying the images are perfect for an issue centered around the theme of youth. Very vibrant and youthful,” voiced vogue28.

Change is in the air at Harper’s Bazaar Italia. Massimo Russo was named editor-in-chief in July (succeeding Daria Veledeeva). Stefano Tonchi is the editorial director, and Paul Sinclaire was appointed fashion editor at large last month. The first issue under the new team is here for October 2024.

To kick-start Bazaar‘s Italia’s latest chapter and to officially usher in the changing of the guard, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin were commissioned as cover shoot photographers. The Dutch creative duo produces four collectible black and white covers for the occasion, featuring four models of the moment. Cover one sees Nigina Sharipova strike a pose in Alaïa. On the second cover, Libby Bennett takes to the streets of Paris in monochromatic Balenciaga. Ella Mccutcheon gazes down I&V’s lens wearing Chanel on the third cover offering. The fourth and final cover sees Vivienne Rohner take a walk along The Seine (also sporting Chanel).

“Nigina Sharipova? Didn’t see that one coming,” shared myran the moment

“Exciting to see I&V shooting for Harper’s Bazaar Italia,” exclaimed mikel.

Sharing the same enthusiasm was vogue28. “The new team appears to be putting Harper’s Bazaar Italia on the map, and I’m here for it. The magazine undoubtedly needed a refresh, with each cover/issue starting to feel the same. The first cover with Nigina Sharipova is the best, it’s giving me Veruschka by Richard Avedon and I love the purple with the black and white,” he applauded.

“Love everything about the cover with Sharipova,” MModa echoed.

Seán McGirr was appointed creative director of Alexander McQueen back in October 2023. The Irish designer, who held the position of head of ready-to-wear at JW Anderson prior to this appointment at McQueen, unveiled his highly-anticipated debut collection for the London-based luxury fashion house during the Fall 2024 season of Paris Fashion Week – to widespread criticism. McGirr’s debut advertising campaign as the creative force behind McQueen has dropped, with the designer relying on Glen Luchford to further display his vision for the brand. The campaign imagery is set against a backdrop of East London and “captures the renegade glamour of the city’s youth”. McGirr’s cast of models (including Bebe Parnell, Canlan Wang, Libby Bennett, Nyajuok Gatdet and Sara Caballero) pose around various different locations within the British capital, captured both in color and in black and white – complete with styling from Marie Chaix.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Not good. The change is indeed valid, but Glen Luchford couldn’t do his magic at McQueen more than he did at Gucci!” voiced DK92.

“Bring Sarah Burton back please. Way too generic,” critiqued Mrs.T.

“McGirr had nowhere to go but up and still managed no better than sideways,” disapproved zoom.

Nevertheless, not everyone was left so unsatisfied. “I’m slightly sold on it,” tourbillions confessed.

“I’m afraid McGirr delivered… something. I don’t hate it. It feels very 2016 in a way,” defended aracic.

“Well McGirr delivered on the campaign. I think these are great, has unsettling energy that has been missing at McQueen,” shared forum member TianCouture.
