Cover by Richard Avedon
This July 1952 issue blends high fashion, cultural commentary, and literary depth. The fashion pages celebrate vivid reds, summer sands, bold checks, the classic mink wrapper, and the sculptural “beanstalk heel,” along with a focus on black as a timeless wardrobe element. Beauty features include skin-care packets and carefully curated grooming suggestions.
The fiction and features section includes works by celebrated writers such as James Agee, Helen Eustis, Virgil Thomson, and Harvey Breit, as well as poetry by W. S. Graham and William Abrahams. Articles explore Hollywood and Broadway at home, artistic retreats, memorable personalities, and summer reflections.
A standout Avedon cover and strong editorial content make this a valuable addition for collectors of 1950s fashion magazines, Harper’s Bazaar history, and classic Avedon photography.
