of around 762,000. Hinting that she may wish to expand the title's focus, she said she hoped to"reimagine what a fashion magazine can be in today's world."
"I believe that Harper's Bazaar can deliver the best in fashion, all while being a place where community can come together to celebrate art, music, pop culture and also learn about the important issues that we as women are facing today," she said,"such as the fight for human rights, our reproductive rights and the hurdles that we face as we fight for equity in the workplace.
Nasr also offered a message of solidarity to the protesters and activists who have taken to the streets across America following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. "I see you, I thank you and I hope we can join forces to amplify the message of equality because cause black lives matter," she said.
