Hearst Magazines International and AGC Power Holdings Corp. Announce the Launch of Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines in November 2027

Manila, Philippines, October 01, 2026 — Hearst Magazines International and AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC) today announced the launch of Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines, set to debut in November 2027.

For nearly 160 years, Harper’s BAZAAR has chronicled fashion and the world around it, bringing together style, beauty, art, and culture with some of the most important creative voices of their time. The Philippine edition brings that legacy to a country with a strong creative identity and a growing generation of talent commanding international attention.

Filipino creativity today reaches well beyond the country’s borders, while Filipino audiences are more connected than ever to the ideas, movements, and creative forces shaping the world. Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines will bring these perspectives together: international in outlook and distinctly Filipino in point of view.

Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines will place particular emphasis on art, haute couture, craftsmanship, and luxury, celebrating fashion at its highest level of creativity and expression. It will spotlight the designers, artists, image-makers, cultural figures, and creative visionaries whose work contributes to the evolving dialogue between the Philippines, Asia, and the world.

Across print, digital, social media, video, and live experiences, Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines will offer a sophisticated and contemporary perspective on fashion and culture, featuring both established names and a new generation of talent shaping the conversation.

“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,” said Archie G. Carrasco, Chairman and CEO of AGC Power Holdings Corp. “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.”

For AGC Power Holdings Corp., Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines will complement its existing portfolio of media brands, strengthening the group’s ability to serve distinct audiences and segments across fashion, beauty, luxury, culture, music, business, and lifestyle. The launch represents another important step in the continued expansion of AGC PHC’s media ecosystem and its partnerships with leading international media publications.

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

Harper’s BAZAAR Philippines will launch in November 2027. Details on its editorial leadership, platforms, inaugural issue, and launch activities will be announced in the coming months. Visit harpersbazaar.ph for updates and follow @HarpersBazaarPH on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
