Harper's Bazaar is an American monthly women's fashion magazine. It was first published in New York City on November 2, 1867, as the weekly Harper's Bazar.[2] Harper's Bazaar is published by Hearst and considers itself to be the style resource for "women who are the first to buy the best, from casual to couture".[3] Since its debut in 1867, as the U.S.'s first fashion magazine,[citation needed] its pages have been home to talent such as the founding editor, author and translator Mary Louise Booth, as well as numerous fashion editors, photographers, illustrators and writers. Harper's Bazaar targets an audience of professional women ranging from their twenties to sixties, who are interested in culture, travel, and luxury experiences.[4]
The name change to Harper's Bazaar was filed on December 30, 1930.[2] However, the first magazine that showed the spelling "bazaar" on the cover came earlier with the November 1929 issue.
Harper's Bazaar's corporate offices are located in the Hearst Tower, 300 West 57th Street or 959 Eighth Avenue, near Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
The current editor-in-chief of the U.S. edition is Samira Nasr.[5]
