Unlicensed Fashion Week event faces legal action by Harper's Bazaar attorneys
In the bustling world of New York Fashion Week, an unexpected event caused a stir among the fashion-conscious crowd. On September 8, an invitation promising a performance by dance music legend Crystal Waters and billed as a 'Harper's Bazaar Cover Launch Party' found its way into many inboxes.
However, the event in question was not a Harper's Bazaar party, despite the invitation's claim. The 'cover' in question was not the cover of the same Harper's Bazaar that has been graced by celebrities like Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen, but rather the cover of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam.
The bash went on as planned, but without any signage or mention of Harper's Bazaar. Many guests were confused about the event they were attending, and a peeved publicist expressed displeasure about attending the event if they had known it was not a Harper's Bazaar party.
Despite the confusion, the event was a NYFW celebration for Crystal Waters, including her Harper's Vietnam cover. The logo of the 157-year-old publication was used on the invitation, but it was a local company, Sun Flower Media, that licensed the name from Hearst and has published in Southeast Asia since 2011.
The identity of the person who organized the event posing as a Harper's Bazaar party is not revealed in the provided search results. However, the party organizers took immediate action after receiving a cease and desist letter from Hearst Tower.
Interestingly, Crystal Waters herself was not aware of the fiasco surrounding her event. She enjoyed singing 'Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee)' and covers of her hits like '100% Pure Love' to an adoring crowd.
In contrast, a smaller, more exclusive event was thrown this year with Bvlgari at Wild Cherry, featuring Dua Lipa, Gabriela Hearst, and Linda Evangelista. This event, unlike the unauthorized Harper's Bazaar party, was a true reflection of the prestige and elegance associated with the Harper's Bazaar brand.
