Harper’s Bazaar – Magazine of the Year

Harper’s Bazaar has bagged three major awards already this year, winning the “Magazine of the Year”, “Cover Concept” and “Design” categories at the European Publishing Awards.

The jury explained their decision: “A long-established fashion magazine, Harper’s Bazaar is one of the world’s most prestigious titles. Hubert Burda Media launched the brand in 2013, claiming a success in Germany’s highly competitive women’s magazine segment. The German edition has a classic design with a contemporary twist. High-class covers and extraordinary photography add to its superior feel, exuding an impression of elegance and the avant-garde.”

The award ceremony was postponed on account of the pandemic and will now form part of the European Publishing Congress in Vienna on 4 – 6 October 2020.

The latest figures from the German Audit Bureau of Circulation (IVW) bring more great news for Harper’s Bazaar, which has increased its numbers in all relevant categories. It sells 55,647 magazines overall and racks up 36,721 copies in hard currency, that is retail sales plus subscriptions (retail: 12,069, up 15.7%; subscriptions: 24,652, up 7.4%; source IVW l/20).

The brand is also developing well in the digital world. harpersbazaar.de is one of the most-visited luxury fashion portals and received 2.8 million visits in March – an increase of 65% on the previous year (IVW online 4/2020).

Harper’s Bazaar has been published since autumn 2013 in a joint venture between Hubert Burda Media and Hearst Magazines International under the management of BurdaStyle CEO Manuela Kampp-Wirtz and editor-in-chief Kerstin Schneider. Harper’s Bazaar is a barometer of the times we live in and a catalyst for social change. It speaks to women who live in unconventional luxury. It offers surprising perspectives on fashion and style as well as unusual finds in the beauty, lifestyle, art, design and travel sectors. With a history spanning over 150 years, Harper’s Bazaar is the world’s longest-running fashion magazine. Today, 29 editions are published in 50 countries around the world.
