''Harper's Bazar'' began publication as a tabloid-size weekly newspaper catering to women in the middle and upper classes. It showcased fashion from Germany and Paris in a newspaper-design format. In fact, it was directly inspired by and modeled on a German fashion magazine '' Der Bazar'', and received content from the German magazine in its early years, often publishing it simultaneously. It was not until 1901 ''Harper's'' moved to a monthly issued magazine which it maintains today. Now ''Harper's Bazaar'' is owned and operated by Hearst in the United States and the National Magazine Company in the United Kingdom. Hearst purchased the magazine in 1913.

During the late Victorian period, as the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum (American women did not all win the right to vote until 1920 with the passing of the 19th Amendment), the introduction of more tailored dresses and jackets coincided with women's new sense of feminism.

to a windswept beach to shoot a swimwear spread. As the model ran toward the camera, Munkacsi took the picture that made fashion-magazine history. Until that moment, nearly all fashion was carefully staged on mannequin-like models in a studio. Snow's buoyant spirit (she rarely slept or ate, although she had a lifelong love affair with the three-martini lunch) and wicked sense of adventure brought life to the pages of ''Bazaar''. Snow's genius came from cultivating the "best" people. Her first big find was art director Alexey Brodovitch, who innovated ''Bazaar''s iconic Didot logo. Brodovitch is perhaps best known for his work with Richard Avedon, who, as a young photographer, was so determined to work at ''Bazaar'' that he endured the humiliation of 14 canceled interviews before finally being hired. Snow also unleashed the force of nature known as
