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.
