Fashion, of course!!

But that is a lovely photo of Angelina.

Doutzen looks gorgeous! I prefer photo shoots to red carpet shots.

qtpie on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 6:14pm

I think the Angelina cover has more mass appeal. I mean, their goal is to sell magazines.

SweetFirefly on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 6:16pm

Doutzen of course!

sabrina27 on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 6:21pm

i like when fashion magazines stick to models and not celebrities. However, who isn't infatuated with the Jolie?

Doutzen is a pretty girl, but i think she looks like Denise Richards mixed with Kathy Ireland...i don't think that's a good thing.

clew001 on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 6:31pm

I really like Angelina and it's a beautiful pic, but I agree that fashion magazines should stick with models. Doutzen is gorgeous.

BellaEdward4ever on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 6:43pm

This is a no brainer question...

DOUTZEN for sure!

Look at Angelina's paparazzi picture, besides Dozen looks like an actress as well, much better than those Holywood tarts!

I never rally cared about having strictly models for fashion models. I read a lot of complains about it concerning Vogue.

Frankly, a celebrity will end up catching my eye more than a model. With a celebrity I know there will be an article about that person that I might read while the model is just here to pose.

In the end, models or celebrities, isn't an issue to me. I'll only complain about which celebrity they would use.

'The Next Great Supermodel Doutzen Kroes'

I'm lovin' it! Yay MissDK

Doutzen for sure!

ChristinaMUFE on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 8:32pm

Doutzen; I prefer the art aspect of fashion. I couldn't care less about the celebrity gossip.

Veraswami on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 8:51pm

DOUTZEN. she's gooooorg! i'm so over angelina. can the world PLEASE move on? she ruined a marriage. she chooses some good movies to act in. she does some humanitarian work (sometimes it doesn't seem sincere). and she has some big lips. GET OVER IT.

TANGY on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 8:54pm

Doutzen Kroes. Gorgeous cover and the perfect fit for Harper's. Angelina's cover just doesn't look appropriate; it has a very tabloid look. If I am buying a fashion based magazine, a tabloid-style is the last thing I would want to see.

leeluvfashion on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 9:33pm

FASHION

Michaelrcks on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 9:38pm

Hahaha #12! Love it! DOUTZEN!

shannydoots on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 9:49pm

I guess they are trying to compete with US and Co. - LAME. One of the reasons I pick up this mag is that it's actually filled with fashion.

superninja on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 9:51pm

i'm a subscriber and got the doutzen version last week. like it - she's one of my favorite models. i'm guessing they added the angelina cover to attract buyers in the news stands? i don't blame them since angelina's one of the biggest (and most powerful according to forbes) celebrities today.

nygurl on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 10:20pm

Oh wow.. it's really disappointing that it's come to this. I generally hate celebrity covers on fashion magazines, especially those like Vogue and Harpers.... and to use a stock image! It looks like a tabloid.

Anonymous on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 10:22pm

Wow Angelina Jolie's pic proves that any stick thin wrinkly lifeless mess can look good with the right makeup.

Anonymous on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 11:52pm

oh my god doutzen looks so unbelievably stunning at!

Nataliacosta on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 2:00am

Doutzen, for sure. I miss the days of the model being the cover girl. When I see a celeb on the cover, I instantly think "tabloid" whether it's Vogue or People.

Louie on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 3:09am

Whoa Doutzen is giving Angelina some competition there! DK looks like a moviestar... you go girl!

Anonymous on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 3:59am

the Doutzen one...she looks gorgeous and the other pic of Angie is an old one even though she looks good there....

kty on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 5:21am

I'm disappointed that I won't be able to buy the Doutzen cover at a store. I prefer models to actresses on the covers of fashion magazines, and I only buy Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W, etc. if they feature a model on the front.
I also don't like that they are using a stock photo of Angelina. It seems so cheap and tabloid-y.

estella241 on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 6:14am

Fashion by far! Doutzen exudes hotness on this cover

Marni7 on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 6:24am

post #12, I couldn't have said it better myself Smiling

kcmosinki on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 6:37am

bazaar was one of the last fashion magazines worth buying, now it's looking no better than tabloids.

rebecca21 on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 7:04am

Fashion! The celeb shot looks like a grocery store tabloid.

genesisrocks on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 7:09am

angelina's is too cluttered though i adore the written font at the bottom right hand corner.

LOVErickii on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 7:19am

i don't really care if a celeb is on the cover, but to not even do a photo shoot and just use some pic taken by the paparazzi at an event? blah.
DK cover for sure.

ninetwenteetoo on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 8:51am

Fashion. It's supposed to be a FASHION magazine, not some stupid tabloid. They even used a paparazzi shot for that cover. It's not even a picture from a photoshoot. Plus that cover has way too much text on it.

Francoisehardly on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 8:59am

the fashion cover for sure! i'm tired of seeing celebs on the cover of mags sometimes!

ilanac13 on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 9:30am

When the cover with Doutzen arrived in my mail yesterday I was SO excited to actually see a model! Then I saw the alternative cover and was like WTF? I completely understand that they have to sell magazines, but it also feels like they're cheating somehow.

fashion4ward on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 10:26am

I prefer fashion be fashion.

mommie on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 11:39am

Doutzen all the way! I second everybody that said that the Angelina cover looks like it belongs on a tabloid. And if they insist on having actresses instead of models, they could at least do a photoshoot...

sourcherry on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 2:01pm

To answer Clew001, I am NOT infatuated with Angelina. To be quite honest, I'm sick of all the Brad and Angelina coverage.

PrincessLtrain on Thu, 06/11/2009 - 11:18am

I am so glad I'm a subscriber, because if I have to see one more magazine with a stupid pic of Angelina covered in amateur graffiti-style writing, I will vomit in my mouth. and Doutzen looks incredible...

lizlee89 on Thu, 06/11/2009 - 9:11pm

It's not so much that it's a celeb, or that it's Jolie, it's just that whenever a respectable magazine uses a stock image for their COVER, it really turns me off.

KMattes on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 5:06pm

Ok. So I personally like Doutzen on the cover much better. All I have to say it stay in your lane - fashion is fashion and acting is acting....They both look great but Doutzen is more fitting.

Talldiva45 on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 7:52pm

Theres nothing more annoying than celebrities on the cover of fashion mags. Once in a while is okay but really? They have nothing to do with fashion. I love Ang but she has awful style and hasn't contributed to the industry at all.

Anonymous on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 7:57pm

fashion!

gonexdancing on Mon, 06/15/2009 - 12:16am

if i were to choose a magazine and both had the titles covered, i would choose angelina's. not because one is an actress and the other a model, but because that cover stands out more, tempts me by displaying what's inside and makes me want to read more about it. on the issue of model vs actress-who says an actress can't be a model? or vice versa? at least some of the actresses they put on the covers are more typical to the average woman. ex, eva longoria isn't 6ft, queen latifah isn't size 0. i like the variety.
i do however remember the jlo obsession and was so sick of seeing her on the cover as almost every magazine around 2001. so i guess i don't care who's pic is on the cover, as long as that person isn't overplayed.

oni1 on Mon, 06/15/2009 - 1:51am

I miss the days when ONLY models were on fashion magazines covers. This Angelina cover looks like Us Weekly or something. Hate it.

Daisy Duke on Tue, 06/16/2009 - 11:46am

Doutzen Kroes, Supermodels are making a come back on the covers. We love Angelina, but it's great to see the models back on the fashion magazine covers.

Harper's Bazaar invented its dual-cover concept in 2001, but it's especially important today since newsstand sales have become as pertinent as advertising revenue. For its July issue, the mag is giving subscribers a fierce fashion cover shot of model Doutzen Kroes, shot by Terry Richardson. But newsstand shoppers will see a completely different cover, one that features a Getty image of Angelina Jolie taken at the LA premiere of Curious Case of Benjamin Button in December 2008. This is the first time Bazaar is using a stock image and its success rate remains to be seen.

"Our readers told us they are completely fascinated by Angelina Jolie. For us, it's about giving readers what they want, when they want it . . . for our subscribers, who desire a more fashion-forward image, we've got the next great supermodel, Doutzen Kroes. Either way, the reader wins," said a spokesperson. So tell me, which cover do you prefer — fashion or celebrity?
