Harper's Bazaar September 2009
Harper's Bazaar is sinking lower and lower. Someone decided to put this girl on the cover because why? She wears clothing that was picked out for her and pretends to be a bitch on a High School TV show? What an extraordinary woman this Leighton is. I hope one day I can be a spoiled bitch with a fat face like her too. I don't understand the fascination behind that show, there is nothing interesting about teenagers who think they're cool because they have sex and act like total bitches for no reason. Whatever happened to poise and grace? What ever happened to fashion? This is the worst cover I have seen in a long time... Well, actually, the worst cover I have seen since last month.
Harper's Bazaar used to be about elegance, innovation and taste. Liz Tilberis is one of my biggest inspirations, and to see her magazine stoop this low is just so saddening. Harper's Bazaar was fashion, and reinvention. Liz Tilberis would never publish an issue covered in meaningless text with the most boring headline ever: "fall fashions", she would certainly not publish a cover so plain, commercial and unoriginal; and she would certainly not put a TV star who's claim to fame is encouraging young girls to think that it's cool to be nasty to one another and start idiotic teenage gossip instead of striving to be the best that they can be; being independent and smart.
Liz Tilberis made Harper's Bazaar bigger than Vogue in the nineties with her take on fashion. She provided the magazine with trendy and timeless, and worked with the best models and best photographers to provide the world with real elegance and beauty. She did all of this while battling an extremely severe case of Ovarian Cancer. The tole this took on her physically was incredibly harsh, yet she continued to revive the magazine with innovation and grace until she passed in the late nineties. She was an absolutely extraordinary woman. Now, Harper's Bazaar is level with US Weekly. It's simply a few pieces of glossy paper published for the sake of making money.
Liz Tilberis actually cared about the magazine, and her work was beyond amazing.
I'm afraid Liz Tilberis will never be able to publish another magazine, but I will devote my life to what Liz stood for, and I won't stop until I'm able to open people's minds and give beauty and elegance back to the world.
Although, the media portrayed Tilberis and Wintour as enemies considering they were each other's main competition, they were able to bond and build up a friendly relationship.
Tilberis had the best articles, covers, and editorials.
Law Suit, 1995
It's The Fashion Factory, 1995
Rest in Peace Liz Tilberis, and Harper's Bazaar.
