    A Changing Landscape

    For the first three years of Bazaar's comeback, Hearst Magazines gave Liz Tilberis and her team carte blanche. But by 1995, the magazine world was getting leaner, and Liz was under pressure to cut costs and kick up newsstand sales. Her solution? Celebrity. And lots of it. Suddenly, actresses, rock stars, and royalty graced the cover almost as often as supermodels. Inside, you were as likely to see Pamela Anderson shot by Peter Lindbergh as Amber Valletta. But Liz's cleverest use of celebrity ...

    Civilized Warfare

    When Liz Tilberis relaunched Harper's Bazaar in 1992, the fact that she was Anna Wintour's former right-hand—and her polar opposite—fueled press stories about a feud between fashion's top two editors. Some of it was drummed up, and some of it wasn't. In this episode, cohosts Dennis Golonka and Cynthia True talk to friends and colleagues, including Grace Coddington, Paul Cavaco, Tonne Goodman, Susan Magrino, and Isaac Mizrahi, about the truth of Anna and Liz's complicated relationship and...

    On Edge

    Less than two years into Bazaar’s triumphant return, the magazine’s spare sculptural look was being imitated everywhere. Bazaar had, practically overnight, defined a new visual landscape. But as the competition scrambled to copy Fabien’s innovative use of typography and negative space, Liz and Fab kept moving, mixing supermodels and street photographers, grunge and glam, punk and posh. In this episode, we talk to Fabien Baron, Paul Cavaco, Linda Evangelista, Tonne Goodman, Elissa Santisi, Dav...

    The Angel in Chanel

    Liz Tilberis was nice. Legendarily nice. People claimed that when she fired an editor, they left feeling they’d won something. (They usually left with a chic little gift, too.) In this episode, we explore the way that Liz’s natural warmth and ability to charm assistants and royalty alike made her not only something of a unicorn in fashion but fueled her ascent from Sixties London art student to editor of British Vogue and contributed to the unlikely success of her Harper’s Bazaar. With L...

    Enter Elegance

    In 1992, Vogue was, as it is today, the global fashion authority, and Anna Wintour was its already-famous leader. But an upset—to this day, the only one of Wintour’s reign— was in the offing. Just a few days into the New Year, Hearst announced they were reviving the long-comatose Harper’s Bazaar, which was once Vogue’s greatest rival. And they were bringing in Liz Tilberis, the warm white-haired size-twelve editor of British Vogue—and Anna Wintour’s former second in command—to lead the charge...
