Harper’s Bazaar Italia has undergone some major restructuring over recent months. Massimo Russo was named editor-in-chief (succeeding Daria Veledeeva). Stefano Tonchi became editorial director. Paul Sinclaire was appointed fashion editor at large last month. Creative director Marc Ascoli was replaced by Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding. The first issue under the new team last month gave us a whole plethora of covers lensed by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Taking to the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Italia for November 2024 is Libby Bennett. The British model poses for photographer Alasdair McLellan across a duo of covers, centered around the theme of youth. Styled by Alice Goddard, Bennett wears looks from Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton in the two vibrant cover photographs.

“Please bring back Marc Ascoli. These Suburbia guys are just not it,” critiqued GivenchyAddict of the magazine’s new creative director duo.
“BringBackAscoli,” pleaded ellarchivist.
“The change of editor-in-chief immediately resulted in a downgrade in covers,” noted TashaRose.
Srdjan confessed: “Not a fan of the covers this month!”
“Alasdair is so BORING!” DK92 declared.
“After last month’s Inez & Vinoodh offering, this feels like a setback. Nevertheless, I do like how vibrant and fresh these covers are. There’s zero denying the images are perfect for an issue centered around the theme of youth. Very vibrant and youthful,” voiced vogue28.
