It's summer, and Harper's have done well to notice this by whacking a great pic of Claudia Schiffer in a sun hat and swim suit on the front cover, with the bold title 'The Hot Issue.' So far so good. But then you turn to the main interview and what do you find? A double-page spread of Ms. Schiffer, lying in beautiful white sands with the sun shining brightly, wearing a...thick cable-knit cardie?!
Am I missing something here? Are bulky jumpers in this summer? Does the fashion world really wish to fry everyone before summer 2011 has really begun? The next few images are of Schiffer looking remarkably comfortable in various chunky knits inspired by 70s roll neck jumpers, even though the weather looks unbearable. As glamorous as the photos are and although Schiffer pulls it off (sort of), I see them better suited to an autumn/winter edition than a summer one.
That aside, the next section is Schiffer doing a shoot for Harper's summer collection looking stunning in numerous garments. From brilliant patterned swimsuits to daring crochet dresses, dazzling whites to statement block colours, Schiffer can pull off anything.
Harper's Bazaar, you have redeemed yourself (if only just). But only because you have this fabulous lady who looks absolutely sensational in anything.
