Overview: Both of these magazines are for the latest fashion. Both are global magazines, although Harper's Bizarre is read more in the U.S. And Homme is more common in France because of the language.

The Harper's Bizarre has a better mix of informative articles in addition to straight fashion news and is for middle-class and up. It is written for a more-rounded audience as far as age, ethnic background and interests.Most of Homme's articles are for upper-middle class men who have the money for expensive clothes, travel, costly entertainment.

Although much of the magazine consists of fashion advertisements, rather than article copy, Harper's Bizarre is just as much a news and feature magazine than one strictly for fashion. Homme may have articles in addition to fashion advertisements, but most are on style and fashion and few on more general topics.

Although Harper's Bizarre is known for fashion, the layout is quite modest and very little white space and modern design. Homme is much more trendy and modern looking. This could be because of the European flair.
