Storied Fashion Magazine ‘Harper’s BAZAAR’ Launches Philippine Edition November 2027

Hearst Magazines International and AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC) will be launching fashion magazine Harper’s BAZAAR in the Philippines in November 2027. Touted as the world’s oldest continuously published fashion magazine since 1867, its Philippine edition will spotlight haute couture, craftsmanship, and luxury, celebrating fashion at its highest level of creativity and expression across print, digital, social media, video, and live experiences.

Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines officially joins Hearst’s over 30 global editions across countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Arabia, and Japan, to name a few.

Chairman and CEO of AGC PHC Archie G. Carrasco is looking forward to strengthening the publishing group’s ability to serve distinct audiences across fashion and lifestyle as Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines will complement its existing portfolio of media brands.

“Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines is an important addition to our growing portfolio because it brings a distinct voice and perspective to the fashion market we serve,” Carrasco says. “It will complement our existing titles while establishing its own space at the upper echelon of fashion, where haute couture, art, craftsmanship, culture, and luxury converge.”

The upcoming launch marks a brand-new chapter for Hearst Magazines as it taps into the Philippine media landscape in hopes of capturing the forces and voices shaping Filipino culture today.

“For nearly 160 years, Harper’s BAZAAR has remained truly fashionable by immersing its global audience in the culture and ideas of the moment,” Bodden says. “It’s exciting to have Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines expand BAZAAR’s heritage, showcasing the work of emerging designers, photographers and storytellers.”

Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines is expected to announce its editorial leadership, platforms, inaugural issue, and launch activities leading up to its official launch in November 2027.
