HARPER'S BAZAAR
British Harper's Bazaar showcases new logo and achieves world exclusive by placing 200 Swarovski crystals onto each London newsstand copy



The September issue of British Harper's BAZAAR reveals a brand new look.



To celebrate the new look Harper's BAZAAR, each logo of the September issue on all 50,000 London newsstand copies will be studded with 200 Swarovski crystals. This is the first time a UK magazine cover has undertaken such an initiative. It is also a global first as consumers will be able to purchase this specially produced collectors item on the newsstand.

Publishing Director, Tess Macleod-Smith comments," The move to the international logo is the natural next step for the brand and we wanted the first issue with the new logo to look as beautiful as possible. Working with Swarovski, the world leaders in cut crystal, has made it possible to achieve a dramatic visual presence on the newsstand and provide consumers with the opportunity to purchase a unique edition of Harper's BAZAAR."

The move to the new logo brings Harper's BAZAAR in line with its sister titles around the world and consolidates our position as an iconic international fashion brand. Since becoming Harper's BAZAAR new life has been breathed into the title and Editor Lucy Yeomans produces the very best fashion, features and lifestyle coverage each month in order to stimulate and entertain her readers. Already the changes have reaped success with record ABC figures and the highly esteemed PPA Award for Consumer Magazine of the Year.

The move to the new BAZAAR logo is the next step in the magazine's evolution and the September issue at 400 pages, 200 of which are editorial, is the biggest and most beautiful issue to date.

Shedding New Light On Chandeliers, Geometrix by Schonbek

Schonbek has revolutionized high-tech lighting with Geometrix®.

With this collection Schonbek put forth the unorthodox idea that spare and simple could also be bold and brilliant. They brought together the purity of halogen or xenon light, and the fire of crystal, to change the way light interacts with designed space.



Geometrix® designs are expressed in spirals and slices, cylinders and rectangles, cubes and waves, triangles, slabs and spheres.



The basic building block of most Geometrix® designs is a lily-cut Strass® crystal octagon that is highly refractive and incomparably brilliant. Strass® is considered the finest crystal in the world.



This unique high-tech lighting collection offers chandeliers, pendants, sconces, bath bars, spotlights, track lights and crystal trim for recessed lighting.



Some Geometrix® designs are bold blocks of shimmering color:


Others are massive light sculptures in icy clear crystal:



Geometrix® colors include many composites unique to Schonbek, and range from subtle to off-the-color-charts. Every color has its complementary color or colors, making it easy for a designer to mix Geometrix® designs with harmonious results.





Geometrix® could only have arisen in the twenty-first century. At the same time, it represents an exploration of light spanning centuries. Schonbek dates back to 1870 in Bohemia.
