Founded in 1867, Harper's Bazaar was one of the first of its kind.
A female fashion publication, the first issue launched on November 2, 1867 and was described on the cover as "A repository of fashion, pleasure and instruction".
Fast-forward 150 years, and the magazine - still a market leader in its field - is spending a Wednesday evening projecting some of its most iconic images onto the side of the Empire State Building.
Spanning the entire history of the magazine, the images included shoots with Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Rihanna and Kendall Jenner.
Since 1976 the Empire State Building has traditionally changed colour of its lights in celebration or commemoration of certain occasions, and the Harper's Bazaar celebration was no exception.
Projected over 42 floors, and spanning 500 feet tall and 186 feet wide, the magazine's editor Glenda Bailey told the New York Times that she wanted to give New Yorkers 'the greatest fashion show in the world'.
An occasion facilitated by Harper's Bazaar and Tiffany & Co., the magazine declined to admit how much it cost, simply admitting "It's wildly expensive but it wil be worth every penny."
