Highlights of Harper’s Bazaar India April-May 2024, issue:
The cover of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar India features Alia Bhatt, who transcends boundaries, excelling not only as an actor, but also as a devoted mother, entrepreneur, and global ambassador for the iconic luxury brand, Gucci. In the issue, we celebrate beauty, and probe its influence in the present times, and what it truly represents. From traditional practices evolving into modern-day rituals, the nuanced concept of borrowed beauty, to injectable moisturisers, gourmand perfumes, and K-beauty trends—we have got you covered. In fashion, we pay tribute to Roberto Cavalli. Read about the socio-cultural history behind the trending ‘mob wife’ aesthetic. Designer-duo, Falguni and Shane Peacock take us through their glorious journey of completing two decades in the industry. In the pages ahead, we take you through the choicest trends of the season, from fashion to beauty.
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.
