France, September 26, 2022 — Hearst Magazines International has announced that Harper’s Bazaar France will launch in March 2023 under a multi-year licensing agreement between Hearst and Prisma Media. The inaugural year will see nine issues published increasing to 10 the following year.
Olivier Lalanne, previously editor-in-chief of GQ France and Vogue Hommes and deputy editor at Vogue Paris, has been named editor-in-chief of the new edition.
“Harper’s BAZAAR is a legend. Throughout its long history, the magazine has been able to reflect, question and enchant fashion to transcend it into a true cultural and artistic phenomenon. The views of the greatest photographers, artists, writers, stylists and talents of all kinds have crossed paths there. It is with great pleasure that I agreed to join the creation in France of this emblematic title. And it is with great enthusiasm that I aspire to register it, with audacity and creativity, in an era particularly rich in changes and mutations.” – Olivier Lalanne, editor-in-chief.
