Hearst Magazines International and AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC) have announced the launch of Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines, set to debut in November 2027.

For over 160 years, the iconic American fashion magazine Harper’s BAZAAR has covered fashion and culture, bringing together style, beauty, art, and the leading creative voices of each era.

Now arriving in the Philippines, the latest edition of Harper’s BAZAAR introduces that heritage and legacy to a new generation of Filipino creatives and audiences — one deeply connected to the sounds, ideas, movements, and cultural forces shaping today’s world.

Putting the spotlight on designers, artists, image-makers, cultural figures, and creative visionaries, the platform amplifies their distinct sounds and visions to the ever-evolving dialogue between the Philippines, Asia, and the rest of the world.

“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,” Archie G. Carrasco, Chairman and CEO of AGC PHC, shares. “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.”

Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines joins the star-studded portfolio of media brands under AGC PHC, which continues to expand its partnerships with leading international publications and bring their distinct perspectives to Philippine shores.

Across print, digital, social media, video, and live experiences, it offers a space where fashion and culture share the same stage with established names and emerging creative forces joining in the conversation.

“For nearly 160 years, Harper’s BAZAAR has remained truly fashionable by immersing its global audience in the culture and ideas of the moment,” Kim St. Clair Bodden, Senior Vice President/Editorial & Brand Director, Hearst Magazines International, shares.

“It’s exciting to have Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines expand BAZAAR’s heritage, showcasing the work of emerging designers, photographers and storytellers, while capturing the forces and voices shaping Filipino culture today,” she adds.

With music as one of the most powerful creative expressions of culture, Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines arrives at the right moment when Filipino artistry continues to make waves across borders. From artists and musicians to designers, photographers, filmmakers, and cultural storytellers, the Philippine edition is set to turn its ear toward the sonic perspectives defining the future, while honoring the influences and traditions that came before.
