Harper's Bazaar UK

Mar 2026

For the March 2026 issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, the editorial team has curated a striking travel-themed narrative that effortlessly bridges the gap between high-fashion sophistication and the raw allure of coastal escapism. The cover feature centers on a masterfully composed image of model Mila Bergsma, who anchors the frame while perched on a white paddleboard amidst the serene, light-blue shallows of a tropical coastline. Photographer Jesse Laitinen expertly leans into a clean, minimalist aesthetic, leveraging crisp natural light to emphasize the vibrant contrast of a belted orange swimsuit against the crystalline waters and clear sky. The visual language of the shoot is defined by its intentional editorial clarity, where every element—from the subject’s sleek, pulled-back hair styled by Konstantinos Sakkas to the luminous, balanced makeup by Ninni Nummela—contributes to a polished yet approachable vacation narrative. Under the guidance of sittings editor Grace Clarke, the project successfully elevates the magazine genre, blending traditional print layouts with a contemporary sense of ease. The result is a vibrant, aspirational portrait that encapsulates the essence of luxury travel, ensuring the publication remains at the vanguard of the magazines, media, and entertainment landscape while offering readers a refreshing, sun-drenched perspective for the upcoming spring season.
