Additional Details

Snow famously described Harper's Bazaar as a magazine for "well-dressed women with well-dressed minds." She hired photojournalist Martin Munkacsi to shoot a swimwear story (his first foray into fashion) that marked the first instance of a model photographed outdoors in motion, as well as Diana Vreeland for a column called "Why Don't You...?" (she eventually became fashion editor), and Alexey Brodovitch as art director the very night she first encountered his work. Snow served as editor-in-chief from 1934 to 1958.
