Highlights of Harper’s Bazaar India October - 2021, issue:
Harper's Bazaar India presents The Awareness Issue, a dedication to conscious living, slow fashion, and a more mindful approach to life.
In a candid conversation, covergirl Sara Ali Khan speaks about her childhood, her ambitions, and her family, like never before. And with it, she reveals what she has learnt about herself and relationships, be that from her parent's separation or the time she has spent introspecting over the past few years.
In a first-ever, Bazaar India presents The Doll Project, where we invited India's leading fashion designers to create dolls from the waste materials in their studios. And each doll will be auctioned to raise funds for underprivileged children. Take delight in these special dolls, created in their signature style, to create a kinder world and spread awareness.
Of course, awareness and sustainability begin at home, and actor Dia Mirza welcomes Bazaar India to her apartment in Mumbai to inspire readers. From repurposing wood to investing in materials that are kind to the environment, Dia shows the way to living with a conscience and principles.
The Fashion Section is also a dedication to slower consumption, as Bazaar India presents a very special shoot in vintage and thrifted pieces styled on actors Rytasha Rathore and Zoya Hussain, screenwriter Gazal Dhaliwal, and more. Meanwhile, India's leading designers make a case for kindness and ethics at the workspace, from Rahul Mishra to Ritu kumar, how each has turned the spotlight on the karigars who, ultimately, make the brand. What about the future of fashion? From leather made out of fungi to rewear, repair, and recycling, insider experts share the advancements that will shape our lives.
Awareness extends to the self as well, as our Bazaar contributors share in personal essays on how they take care of themselves and reconnect with their inner peace. And as Life Coach Jay Shetty shares, the secret to happiness is to do things you love, you can learn from, and to challenge yourself to create something new. But what do you do when life throws a curveball at you? Four Bazaar contributors share their experiences on how they embraced major changes in their life—turn to the words of actor Lisa Ray, beauty entrepreneur Deeepica Mutyala, and travel blogger Savi from Bruised Passports for inspiration.
For those on the lookout for brands that have a lesser carbon footprint and are kind to animals, our special feature on the most ethical handbags to carry will delight you. And if you are looking to turn your own company into a more sustainable venture, three entrepreneurs share their journey towards this important goal.
This is also the ideal time to truly understand the conscious beauty terms in the products we use, as well as to be more mindful of what our bodies are trying to tell us in the form of symptoms, acne, and through our hair.
Pore over the Bazaar India Awareness Issue.
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.
