BAZAAR Wins the Lucie Award for Best Fashion Layout of The Year

For the second year in a row, Harper’s BAZAAR won the Lucie Award for Fashion Layout of the year at the Annual International Photography gala. BAZAAR is known for taking risks and pushing the boundaries with fashion photography, and the winning September issue story, “Deep Freeze,” did just that.

Photographed by Txema Yeste on the Blackcomb Glacier near Whistler, Canada—a location reachable only by helicopter–our team risked their lives to capture high-drama outerwear in ice caves on a melting glacier. The end result featured Aya Jones in looks from Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Valentino, and more amongst the picturesque snowy landscape—but the shots didn’t come easily.

After ferrying the crew to the location, a helicopter air-dropped the gear and clothing in for the shoot. Beforehand, all the fashion had to be carefully weighed—and a few items left behind to balance the load. As the shoot progressed, the crew could hear the glacier begin to crack and fall. Due to the dangerous conditions, a local expert went ahead of the team, poking holes to determine where it was safe to walk along the icy landscape.

Despite the location’s challenging conditions, the crew—equipment and fashion included—all made it back on the helicopter out by dusk. And with an award-winning fashion editorial to show for.
