Skinny look ‘had if
NEW YORK. “People have no empathy with skinny models,” said James W. Brady, the new controversial publisher and editorial director of
“Harper’s Bazaar.” “Both ’Vogue’ and ‘Harper’s’ have used them for years, and that look has had it,” he said on a recent 'national television interview.
“One of the first things I !did on coming to ‘Harper’s’ in iAugust was to decide we would show clothes on real people—on interesting people. Like Raquel Welch,” !he said, smiling, “and people like Mrs Ethel Kennedy and Mrs Henry Ford. The ethnic look is out. The classic look is in—not necessarily always elegant—but a today look. “We’ll have one part of the magazine with real clothes on real people, and we’ll tell where to get the clothes, what the price is, and we'll show them in a logical setting. “Very few people can do ■ their own thing,” Mr Brady ! I said. “But my approach is of . the 1970’s and it’s a good ‘'look for women.”
