Harper's Bazaar promoted itself on the front of its initial issue in 1867 as "a reservoir of beauty, pleasure, and education." Bazar (without one letter 'a') was formed by Harper & Brothers. It was a New York publishing firm owned by brothers John, James, Joseph Wesley, along with Fletcher Harper. The Harpers had already established themselves as prominent book publishers at the time. They'd also dabbled on periodicals with Harper's New Monthly and Harper's Weekly, which were illustrated magazines dedicated to current literature and commentary on the arts, sciences, and politics.

Harper's Bazaar is produced by Hearst and advertises itself as the "style bible" for "women who are willing to purchase the best items, from casual to couture." Bazaar’s goal is to attract readers who are "discerning females." Since its inception as America's first fashion magazine in 1867, its pages have featured lots of talents such as founding editor, novelist, and interpreter Mary Louise Booth, as well as a slew of fashion editors, photographers, artists, and writers. Glenda Bailey serves as editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar's United States edition.
