Mini Story or Hook

A fabulous snapshot of Australian fashion and culture at the end of the 1990s, this May 1998 issue of Harper’s Bazaar & Mode features New Zealand supermodel Kylie Bax on the cover wearing Valentino.

Inside is a particularly strong mix of late-1990s fashion, beauty and culture, including “Secrets of Best-Dressed Women”, Australian street and city style, vintage clothing, classic fragrances and contemporary designer fashion.

The contents also feature pieces relating to Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel, actor Gary Oldman, Sandra McGrath’s memories of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, Damien Hirst, Melbourne shopping and fashion, and the style and culture of the period.

An increasingly nostalgic piece of Australian fashion publishing from the pre-digital magazine era, with plenty of period advertising and editorial imagery.
