Australian Harper's Bazaar is published ten times a year in Australia. Alison Veness-McGourty is the current Editor in Chief and Eric Matthews is the Creative Director. The covers are often reprints of the American version of Harper's Bazaar. It began publishing in 1998 as Harper's Bazaar and Mode. The long title is the result of a merger between Harper's Bazaar Australia and Mode Australia with the March 1998 issue. Mode was removed from the title within seven issues and the magazine is currently titled Australian Harper's Bazaar. Australian Harper's Bazaar has been published since 1984.
