Highlights of Harper’s Bazaar India - October 2026 issue:
Fashion takes center-stage in the October 2026 issue of Harper’s Bazaar India where we explore it as more than an aesthetic pursuit—as a reflection of heritage, culture, identity, and the voices that shape our times. Our cover star, Lisa Haydon, reflects on a life shaped by fashion, sharing her philosophy of moving with heart and allowing personal style to evolve with growth while remaining true to one’s core. Across the issue, we celebrate the icons and creative visionaries shaping fashion’s cultural narrative. Karishma Swali marks 40 years of Chanakya, celebrating Indian craftsmanship and bringing the extraordinary skills of its artisans to global recognition. Christian Louboutin reflects on his enduring love for India and its continued influence on his creative universe. We decode the psychology behind the curious comfort of ASMR, K-beauty’s advances in non-invasive aesthetics, and the science behind skincare claims through in-vitro and in-vivo testing.
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.
