Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia turns 20 this month! We look back at two decades of fashion—the movers and shakers, the highs and lows, the iconic runway moments and dresses that have shaped the previous 20 years to bring us to where we are today. Spring is in bloom and nature continues to inspire, with statement-making hues for the eyes, then a free-spirited fashion foray into the woods shot in Cornwall’s lush Cabilla retreat. And here’s a very special treat to all fans of K-pop: get to know singer-songwriter Lee Ji Eun—better known as her stage alter ego IU—in a heart to heart interview that takes us behind her process and into her personal thoughts. On the men’s side of things, barrier-pushing, multi-hyphenated talent Alvin Chong fronts our BAZAARMan section this month, as we take you through the trends that are taking menswear into a new dawn of expression.
