Jessica Stam covers the new Harper's Bazaar España
FashionGoneRogue

Another brilliant cover by the more than talented team at Harper's Bazaar España. You know how much of a sucker for a good cover layout I am and this really makes me happy! Jessica Stam, shot by Txema Yeste and styled in Prada, covers the March issue of the Spanish magazine.

I was all about this bejewelled swimsuit when I held it in my hand at the Prada SS12 press day and I was even more excited to see it make the cover of February's issue of Vogue Paris as worn by Daria Werbowy. But this is even better! Jessica Stam rocks this look. I love the fact that Melania Pan and Juan Cebrián went for a more voluptuous girl. And I also love the odd peroxide wig that makes Stam looks like a bit of a glamourous looney. The pearls are maybe not that necessary but I love the part they play in the composition with the table. The layout is absolutely spotless and very much in line of what we saw in the January issue. I will never tire of saying how amazing this magazine is becoming. And how quickly!

It's also exciting that the team can finally cover London Fashion Week properly as it no longer clashes with Madrid, so there's plenty of room for everyone!

Harper's Bazaar España has been doing great ever since they launched just over a year ago. I'm really into their style of covers, which is not very overworked and quite chic.

I especially liked their September 2010 cover shot by Txema Yeste. It's also him who's captured the cover picture for the June issue (styled by Juan Cebrián?). The first thing thing I thought was how ridiculously black that horse is, and how beautiful. Then I remembered that Demi/giraffe moment from the American version of HB back in April 2010. I loved that editorial but the idea of big animal/small person seems to work a lot better for the Spanish publication. It's very late 70's heroine and there's something about it that reminds me of this famous Spanish TV show called 'Verano Azul' but in a very chic way. It also feel a lot more natural than Demi's because she looks slightly awkward in the crazy-high McQueen shoes, while Anna de Rijk looks relaxed. I honestly can't wait to see the rest of the ed inside.
