Harper’s Bazaar Italia has recently undergone significant transformations in its editorial team, signaling a new era for the publication. The appointment of Massimo Russo as editor-in-chief marks a pivotal change, following Daria Veledeeva’s departure. Alongside him, Stefano Tonchi has taken on the role of editorial director, while Paul Sinclaire joins as the fashion editor at large. The creative direction has shifted as well, with Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding stepping in to replace Marc Ascoli. The inaugural issue under this fresh leadership showcases an array of stunning covers photographed by the renowned duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. This November 2024 issue features British model Libby Bennett, who graces the cover with a focus on the theme of youth, styled elegantly by Alice Goddard in luxurious ensembles from Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton.
