For their upcoming September 2018 issue, Harper’s Bazaar US is becoming an ode to music families of all types and times. From Kanye West and Bruce Springsteen, to Christina Aguilera and Erykah Badu, the legends of pop, rock and rap come together with their adorable minis to celebrate the fact that legacies live on.
Every cover with every artist was accompanied by a sweet and heartfelt message signed by each one of them, making the editorial pictures so much more personal and intimate. Here are the “ICONS: The First Families of Music”.
Harper’s Bazaar creative director Carine Roitfeld said, “I’m a very family-oriented person, so I wanted to meet the families of some of my biggest music idols. It was amazing to see that some of the industry’s most ground breaking rockstars have a sense of tenderness with their loved ones, even if they are adults.”
