In this issue

Iconic women across all realms and new faces on and off the runway show us how it’s done this month. Cate Blanchett opens the issue, setting the bar high with her thoughts on feminism, motherhood, and #MeToo. The conversation continues with Harper’s BAZAAR’s signature campaign, the Pink Project, as we once again bring love, breast cancer awareness, and empowerment to the fore this October with 15 Malaysian designers. In that similar vein of strength, dare to wear Autumn/Winter ’18 standouts. Whether it’s seemingly mismatched colour combos or oversized propotions that know no bounds, make them you. And while you’re aspiring to be bold, why not dream of great escapes around the world? From a Samui sojurn in Thailand to a lake-house escape in Switzerland, transport to universes that will leave you feeling like the best beautiful version of yourself.
