The headlines placement on this year’s covers from Harper’s Bazaar Australia are better than 2011 and 2010. It’s mostly one-sided, so it doesn’t quite covering the cover stars. Just like they shown on Taylor Swift‘s April (by Benny Horne) and Kate Moss‘ August issue (the image by Terry Richardson is a perfect example for the use of reprints, same as Gwyneth‘s May cover, also by Richardson). You can also noticed that they used sleeker fonts on the newsstands and very minimal texts (which is great) on the subscribers.
Naomi Watts was the first cover star to graced Bazaar Australia‘s front page in 2012. The British-Australian actress was photographed by Victor Demarchelier, the son of the well-known Patrick, who also snapped top models Jessica Stam for March and Constance Jablonski (she recently left Marilyn and moved to DNA for her New York representation) for September issue. Naomi Watts‘ pal, Nicole Kidman, graced the undoubtedly the best cover from Harper’s Bazaar Australia this year. The 45 year old Academy Award winner was snapped by Will Davidson, together with her lovely daughter, Faith Margaret for the beautiful June/July cover. The Australian born Davidson also photographed fellow Aussie Rose Byrne for the magazine’s October issue slot.
Harper’s Bazaar brighten up their last two issues of 2012 with bright yellow mastheads. The November and December covers featuring actress Emily Blunt, and model Georgia May Jagger, were photographed by Jason Bell and Jason Kibbler respectively. Emily Blunt‘s sultry look clearly outshines Georgia May‘s arched-too-far face, but both subscriber covers were great!
The magazine already released their first 2013 cover, featuring actress and style icon Kate Bosworth, and she looks amazing!

It seems like Elle UK‘s cover budget is decreasing this year because almost every single cover shot was taken at studio. But who knows, even if it’s taken at studio, perhaps it was located far away from Elle UK‘s HQ. And only God knows the total amount of money they’ve paid to book those major cover stars this year. The budget probably increased instead of decreased.
This year, the Lorraine Candy-edited monthly fashion magazine (Jenny Dickinson helmed the magazine for a brief moment while Mrs.Candy had her pregnancy leave) had two cover shots outdoor, featuring Kristen Stewart and David Beckham respectively. Beckham‘s covers easily triumphed the emotionless front pages of Kristen Stewart. The colors on K-Stew‘s covers were lovely, but she failed to give sparks on the eyes. FYI, David Beckham made history because he was the first solo male cover star for the magazine.
We loved it when Elle UK used colored backdrop, because the results weren’t boring like when they used white. Just look on how boring was the May issue with Emily Blunt (the subs was way better), September with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, October with Gwen Stefani and November issue with Jessie J (her subs also better than the newsstand version). Those gorgeous dresses can’t saved the images from being dull. There’s an exception though. The January covers with Lady Gaga was interesting because of the bright outfits and minimal text.
Young, talented and bright actors Dakota Fanning (our favourite cover star!) and Mila Kunis landed their very first Elle UK cover this year. The 18 year old was photographed by David Slijper, while the 29 year old former face of Miss Dior handbags was snapped by Doug Inglish. The rest of the cover stars are having better subscriber covers than the newsstands, in our opinion. We are loving those simple, minimalist and no-fuss images of Alexa Chung, Ashley Olsen and Cameron Diaz over their newsstands version.
Overall it’s a hit-and-miss year for Elle UK. But, we are looking forward for their next year’s line up already. Especially after they released their first 2013 cover star, Kylie Minogue (her 7th covers for the magazine!), and it looks promising.

Quoted via WWD:
After a long hibernation, Time Style & Design has returned. The fashion spin-off of Time magazine stopped publishing in September 2009, when advertising was hard to come by, but publisher Kim Kelleher said the title is ready for a comeback. “I wasn’t here when they published the first time but I know we’ve had such a positive reception in the short amount of time we had to sell this,” Kelleher claimed. She’s signed on new advertisers to the Time brand franchise, such as Harry Winston, Zappos, Maybelline and Bulgari. The issue closed with 25 ad pages.
There will be a page devoted to the issue on Time.com. Time Style & Design is planned to come out twice a year, with the next issue due in September.
Three years ago, the magazine’s rate base was 550,000 and it appeared on newsstands. This time, it will be received by 500,000 Time subscribers that, judging by the content, are quite affluent. The phrase “price upon request” is used several times in the fashion credits.
When Time Style & Design was edited by Kate Betts, the magazine focused on the business of fashion. Now, under Time managing editor Rick Stengel, it features a wider variety of stories, including a piece about artist Nick Cave, a profile of Christian Louboutin, a look at the contemporary arts scene in Turkey and a story about identical-twin opera directors Christopher and David Alden. “These are topics we would write about in the regular Time,” said Stengel. “This is not purely about fashion. It’s not a magazine that exists in order to mark trends and be trendy. It has to have a lasting value.”
A close-up shot of actress Emily Blunt, wearing a black hat and bright pink lipstick, appears on the magazine’s cover. Stengel said they had several good cover options but in the end, decided the first issue should feature a fashionable woman. “I thought she was great in ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ and you know, she’s not hard to look at.”
The cover was photographed by Peter Hapak.

Harper’s Bazaar UK gave three issues that have the same images for the subscriber and newsstands version. They are Gwyneth Paltrow‘s March cover lensed by Alexi Lubomirski, Eva Green‘s June cover by Camilla Akrans, and the 90′s supermodels–Yasmin Le Bon, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova– for December cover by Jonas Akerlund.
Here are the rest of the covers this year from Lucy Yeomans edited monthly magazine. Most of the subs covers are better than the newsstands (January, February, April, July and November):
The new face of YSL Opium, Emily Blunt graced the January cover in blue dress from Tom Ford as she photographed by Paola Kudacki; actress Rebecca Hall for February by Alexi Lubomirski; the then pregnant Eva Herzigova‘s first Bazaar UK cover in 2011 for April by Michaelangelo di Battista; supermodel Kate Moss for May issue by Sølve Sundsbø, the newsstands cover was a reenactment of her hologram appearance from the FW 2006 Alexander McQueen fashion show.
Another supermodel Claudia Schiffer summery cover for July issue by Horst Diekgerdes; Emma Watson for August by Alexi Lubomirski; Beyoncé for the coveted September issue cover slot lensed by Alexi Lubomirski; Alexa Chung for October issue by Ellen von Unwerth; and Academy Award winning actress, Kate Winslet for November cover snapped by Tom Munro.
