Harper’s Bazaar editor picks title’s ‘epic moments’ for book

AS editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, Glenda Bailey has seen some pretty fantastic things — “epic moments,” she calls them.

In her 10 years at the helm of the magazine, she has overseen fancy photo shoots with A-list stars, insider moments with top designers and the times the magazine hits the zeitgeist just right. Bailey highlights many of them in a new book about her decade in charge, Harper’s Bazaar: Greatest Hits, and in an interview with The Associated Press, she listed her favourites:

- Demi Moore’s 2010 cover, where she shared the coveted front-page real estate with a giraffe. Moore wore a dress and the 10-inch Armadillo heels from Alexander McQueen’s last collection on a staircase to nowhere. The image was shot a few weeks before McQueen’s suicide, but Bailey said she could think of no better tribute to him.
