Highlights of Harper’s Bazaar India November 2016, issue: Our November issue is the big beauty special, featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on the cover. We also have our first-ever Best of Beauty Awards, in which we have awarded products based on 15 of the biggest trends in beauty. To select the winners, we reached out to 45 Bazaar editors from international editions, our readers (we received over 9000 reader votes in 21 days), and also put our homegrown brands to the test by sending out hampers to seven South East Asian Bazaar editors. Another highlight is a conversation with Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Christian Louboutin, where they talk about the evolving concept of home. In fashion features, we have interviews with Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna, Manish Malhotra, and artist Trouble Andrews, who collaborated with Gucci. We have fashion shoots on how to wear red, and the combination of embellishments and sportswear (shot in Paris). Our escape section looks at the best properties for beauty, peace, and wellbeing.
Highlights of Harper’s Bazaar India April 2016, issue: The April issue of Harper's Bazaar India is dedicated this issue to journeys of all kinds. Take our cover stars, for instance. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor have both traversed afar in their careers, and in Ki & Ka, explore unconventional roles: She’s a career woman and he’s a house husband. Then there’s Gossip lead singer Beth Ditto, who has become an icon of punk style. She has designed a fashion line for big girls that’s already making waves. You’ll also meet author Polly Vernon, whose new book, Hot Feminist, is being talked about everywhere, and should be on your holiday reading list. In beauty, there are expert tips on how to look glowing and fresh straight off a plane, and the best makeup crayons you need to pack. In features, there are the books that have made the journey from being social media successes to legit literature. Then there is the next big food revolution that’s taking over the culinary world: Cooking with trash. We’ve also got the definitive guide to the world’s best hotels, and some of the most mouth-watering food trails you could follow (thank us later). In fashion, we celebrate the power of film with Cinema Cinema, a photo feature dedicated to iconic movies set in destinations like Venice and Egypt. Chanel’s pre-Fall 2016 show that took place at Rome’s iconic Cinecittà (founded in ‘37 by Mussolini, no less) in December last year showed us how inspirational a culture can be. We also travel to Thailand where summer’s hottest hue, orange, blends in beautifully with the country’s russet-robed monks and crumbling brick temples. In the end, a journey is more in the mind than on the road, and we invite you to take this one with us, page by page.
