Found these amazing,vintage covers of Harper's Bazaar,which is the oldest fashion magazine in the world.Yes,it's not Vogue!!

Love the Victorian era covers of the 1800's and the 1950's and 60's of course,thanks to Andy Warhol.

these covers are such a welcome break from the usual model loaded covers we see these days..i wish they put more thought and creativity in covers these days rather than just making the model look pretty..

i swear!!it's so easy these days--compared to all these arty sketches.today its only about getting a big star and some great styling unlike yesteryears when magazine covers were pieces of art.imagine,andy warhol doing the cover for harper's bazaar--how cool is that!!!
