Harper's Bazaar Italia

Sep 2026

For the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar Italia, the creative team has delivered a masterclass in gothic-inspired editorial photography, pushing the boundaries of traditional magazine covers. Featuring the striking presence of model Loli Bahia, the image channels a moody, sophisticated allure through the masterful lens of Inez and Vinoodh. The composition is anchored by a bold, central pose against a graphic blue and white backdrop, a stark contrast that allows the intricate black lace and sheer veil to command attention. Fashion director Sissy Vian elevates the look with a singular black rose and a doll accessory, blending high-fashion sensibilities with a haunting narrative depth. The technical execution relies on a refined use of natural light and beauty light to sharpen the features and highlight a vivid, signature red lip, expertly applied by makeup artist Dick Page. Under the strategic vision of editorial director Stefano Tonchi and creative directors Mathias Augustyniak and Michaël Amzalag, the project achieves an equilibrium between avant-garde storytelling and classic luxury appeal. By synthesizing delicate textures with powerful, structured styling, this edition of Harper’s Bazaar Italia stands as a defining example of contemporary fashion media, proving that even the most stylized visuals can remain grounded in human, tactile storytelling while defining the aesthetic pulse of the season.
