We hear it often enough, but what does it really mean to be an empowered female? Malaysian models Janice Low and Nicole Wong share their own paths to success and the life lessons that have made them stronger and more empowered today. Our Collections Report reveal the dawn of perhaps one of the most exciting fashion eras in recent times, with an enchanting 22-page portfolio of this season’s best and a 10-page report on the beauty trends that lit up the runways.

New year, new you? This month we encourage you to celebrate your fabulous self with all your eccentricities and uniqueness. Model and artist Sheena Liam leads the way as she opens up about all the things that make her feel good about herself, as our Fashion editorials propose game-changing skirts and sexy party looks that invite you to unleash your inner rebel and femme fatale. Also, we go pink and red throughout this issue to mark both the arrival of the Lunar New Year this January as well as Valentine’s Day come February. Watches celebrate the year of the Water Rabbit while Jewellery reminds you that no celebration of prosperity or love is complete without a bold statement necklace. 

‘Tis the season of celebration, and we are celebrating a group of exceptional artists in our inaugural BAZAAR Women Of The Year portfolio. Susan Lankester, Sofia Jane, Vanidah Imran, Scha Alyahya, Jasmine Suraya, Sangeeta Krishnasamy, Elise Shick, Nadiah Hamzah, Amelia Henderson and Eyka Farhana—actors, directors and producers—represent Malaysian women in film that we are honouring this year. Speaking of exceptional women, Tilda Swinton lets us into her artistic mind as she models sumptuous couture pieces from Chanel. For those still on the lookout for gift ideas, check out our special gift guides as well as our special showcases on gorgeous handbags to add to your collection. Our Beauty Editor Alisha Azuddin visits Paris to discover the story behind skincare brand Drunk Elephant while our travel correspondent Crystal Woo explores the Golden Triangle to get acquainted with actual elephants in the far north of Thailand. 


It’s our thickest issue yet! This month is all about couture: we present our Autumn/Winter ’22 couture report on some of the most dazzling and innovative couture showcases, and talk to Maria Grazia Chiuri as she takes us through the Dior couture collections, while Daniel Roseberry offers a special peek behind the curtains of the Schiaparelli atelier. In Beauty, we see the return of our annual BAZAAR Hair Awards, bringing you a comprehensive guide of the best salons and products to check out to keep your coiffure looking healthy and at its voluminous best. Then BAZAAR Man takes you through the trends redefining masculine fashion now as well as the new designers you should keep an eye out for, as we talk to the charming model and DJ Shawn Zod about music and the thrill of making people dance.

This month BAZAAR presents our next gen ICONS; influencers and trendsetters, actors and athletes, artists and activists—agents provocateurs all—whose respective talent and ambition are shaping our cultural landscape and conversation now, led by actor Florence Pugh, model Hailey Bieber, rapper Bad Bunny and poet Amanda Gorman. Taking a break from sweatpants, denim is ready to make a comeback for autumn. Check out our comprehensive trend report, as well as our guide to the return of smouldering make-up.

The summer season is coming to a close so we’re turning to some carefree-dressing to see you through the season, and for dressier occasions, we showcase new high jewellery collections to keep you looking your radiant best. We also pay tribute to the late Virgil Abloh, while model Tuti Noor reflects on her career as she heats up our cover spread and we take stock of our Malaysian fashion landscape as well as share some of our favourite local beauty finds. Here’s to the last days of summer!

Spring transitions into summer, bringing with it a sense of liberation and optimism. The Hot 100 BAZAAR Beauty Awards return this issue to guide you with your next beauty purchase. Life in lockdown has us yearning for beauty products that don’t just make us pretty, but carry greater value and a positive message too. But no make-up in the world can make up for lack of sleep, so our new sleep cheat sheet offers advice on effective slumber. This summer also embraces open fields and prairie chic as Keira Knightley wanders through Suffolk’s Wilderness Reserve in the latest from Chanel. Stay optimistic and let the sunshine in.

Bottega Cassette, Chanel 22, Ferragamo Cage, Gucci Blondie, LV Capucines…this month, we’re just going bonkers for bags! Be it tote, hobo, baguette, minaudiere, crossbody, or carryall, go forth and explore the many bags featured in this issue to find the one that best suits your personality, style and requirement. 
Speaking of what suits you best, our special beauty showcase pits opposing products against each other to better understand which is the right type of products for your skin. We also review the previous awards season to find out what’s trending in terms of red carpet jewellery (pgs. 78-81). And oh, did we mention that Jisoo of BLACKPINK is this month’s cover story? You’re welcome.

From inclusive silhouettes to celestial muses, this month we take you through the Spring/Summer ’22 Couture collections and some of the most intricate high jewellery selections of the season, as well as an in depth conversation with the maestro, Giorgio Armani. Discover how brands turn to new technology to chart new grounds in beauty, and look back on the legacies of fashion legends Andre Leon Talley and Manfred Thierry Mugler. 

Join us as we travel through the decades with a Spring/Summer ’22 showcase that takes us through some future nostalgia and euphoric hues. This season also sees the freeing of inhibitions as designers try to redefine “sexy” in 2022. In a BAZAAR exclusive, Malaysian designer Han Chong of Self-Portrait invites us into his London home and atelier while half-Malaysian, half-Sudanese model Iman Mohamed Osman opens up about her journey towards self-acceptance. 

A new year brings new hope. Alicia Amin, Malaysia’s most sought-after model, sees hope in humanity through her volunteerism—offering aid to last month’s flood victims—and remains even more hopeful for the future as she transitions into the next phase of her career: acting. Take time to pause and reflect in a luxurious nature sanctuary or a refreshing beauty treatment. Whether you’re ushering in the Year of the Tiger or celebrating the one you love this Valentine’s Day, step out in statement nails and statement jewellery, or find the perfect style and scent to make your celebration that extra special. Here’s to new beginnings.

The gifting season is here! Whether you're shopping for your loved ones or rewarding yourself with something special for getting through 2021 in one piece, we've compiled some of our favourite fashion hits and beauty treats for you to add to your wish list. Year-end festivities are never complete without the brightest bling and the sparkle this issue is just spectacular. This year’s Malaysia's Most Stylish Women—and Men!—turn it out in accessories from Tiffany & Co. while our cover star, Mexican actress Ester Exposito, dials up the glamour in high jewellery from Bvlgari. This month's fashion showcase unfolds like masterpiece theatre with garments that yearn for the spotlight while the beauty pages suggest looks to try out this festive season.

What makes you happy? From party shoes that shine to dresses that capture the divine, this issue we explore the joyful aspects of fashion, beginning with our report on the Autumn/Winter Couture collection.

Artistic souls in love, dancer Maddie Ziegler and Eddie Benjamin gets personal about their romance and journey towards finding their identity, while designer Alessandro Michele take stock of his journey with Gucci thus far as the label celebrates 100 years of luxury and fashion.

Content creator Bay Doucet and mental health advocate Veen Dee Tan open up about their personal experiences in coming to terms with not living up to unrealistic beauty standards. The world’s brightest supernova, Beyoncé, turns 40 this year.

Red carpet glamour returns with oodles of diamonds and gold, and BAZAAR Man catches up with three of Malaysia’s most exciting male models—Malek Mcrone, Silas Oo and Darien Aeldra—with a rundown on the trends dominating menswear this season.

We’re going on a fashion odyssey this month. From exotic desert dunes to sandy beaches, in a world of great uncertainty, fashion is asking us to make every moment count, to stand out in dramatic silhouettes and luxurious textures. We also look back on journeys past and their impact on our present: read about a 13-year-old Louis Vuitton’s voyage to success, the staying power of the Hermes Birkin bag, and the strength of the Bvlgari B.zero1. Our Beauty section analyses 10 of the biggest beauty moments of the past decade while four of the country’s most exciting designers—Alia Bastamam, Cassey Gan, Khoon Hooi and Motoguo—share their views on our fashion past, present and future. Don’t forget to check out some of the most enlightening high jewellery collections this season. Here’s to great adventures!

Though our perception of extravagance has evolved over the decades, some things still ring true: we can never resist a good luxury handbag. Our Fashion section explores flowy dresses and chic trouser looks that allow for ease and freedom of movement, while our special jewellery and luxury timepieces supplement bring the latest news and trends from the world of haute joaillerie and horology.

The world celebrates Earth Day this coming 22 April, and it’s important to note that the talk surrounding sustainability and environmental preservation is not just another trending topic or a mere marketing exercise. From capsule collections that upcycle old looks, and accessories from recycled materials to beauty products that promote eco-friendly causes, fashion houses have put it upon themselves to experiment with and conceptualise ideas that examine a more sustainable approach to fashion. Also, our very own Yuna takes time to share her thoughts on her personal style evolution, handling criticism and that ever elusive new album. And oh, BAZAAR Man is back!

As Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia returns to the industry, we celebrate the vibrancy and imagination that the Spring/Summer ’21 Fashion Weeks have to offer, from New York to London, onwards to Paris then Milan. Art and fantasy inform the creative mind this season, as we explore artistic jewellery designs, refreshed takes on beauty and imaginative runway shows in a world mid-pandemic. Keep the creative juices flowing!

Fashion is art living on a daily basis, whether it’s prêt-à-porter or haute couture. In this May issue, BAZAAR is motif-vated by figure-hugging silhouettes, geometric patterns, and OTT accessories. Adapting to the new normal hasn’t been a bed of roses, but going from bedroom to boardroom can still be done in style, even without stepping out of the house. Then, immerse in a fascinating world of intriguing art that effortlessly captures the sense of wonderment, from the works of Yayoi Kusama to Hamra Abbas. When all seems bleak, there’s all the more reason to look for the light. Set your sights on La Prairie’s latest breakthrough chapter for extraordinary radiant-looking eyes and wear the season’s trendiest nail art in cheery playful brights. As for the secret to being constantly inspired? It is to have a bigger purpose in things we choose to pursue—a value our cover star Gugu Mbatha-Raw has come to uphold in her acting career. And lastly, to all the hearts that long for an adventure, follow the magical trip of Ung Yiu Lin and Azlan Iskandar in mystical Morroco, and seek comfort in splendid star-chitect getaways around the world. Here’s to a May-vellous month!

BAZAAR goes on a journey around the world in this issue with looks that are “tie-dye” for—think ’60s Miami beach motel-inspired ensembles along with standout safari prints and cool cowboy hats. Making nostalgia relevant again is Louis Vuitton artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière who ventured back to the era of Belle Époque for his Spring/Summer ’20 collection. La Double J founder JJ Martin, who lives like a true Italian since moving from the United States, also has a major taste for vintage, evident in her antique-filled room and flea market discoveries. Elsewhere in the world, desert plains seem like the most remote and lonely place to be, but it was where Chanel beauty mastermind Lucia Pica found the inspiration to create her cult Desert Dream make-up collection. Meanwhile in Kuching, Shen-Tel Lee of Bowerhaus and Sereni & Shentel invites us into her new space, aptly named The Playground Borneo, where she cooks up ideas in the kitchen together with her team. The wanderlust does not stop here. Get prepared to embark on the ancient Spice Route while boarding the majestic phinisi in eastern Indonesia. Ready for an adventure? On your mark, jet set, GO! 

Fiery, passionate, and courageous. That’s how we do it in this issue of BAZAAR, as we welcome all things bold and daring in 50 shades of red. Indeed, walking a dauntless path isn’t easy, but the world’s hottest DJ, Peggy Gou, and Malaysia’s rising model, Rubini Sambanthan, proved how going against the grain might just be the recipe for success. While dreams fuel passion, love feeds the heart. Nourish your soul with Eddin Khoo’s personal note on what love means to him while being inspired by power couple Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson who keep sparks alive, even after a decade together. Also in this month’s special edit, BAZAAR rounds up the top list for Spa Awards 2020 with some of the most luxurious getaways in Asia, perfect just for you and your loved ones.

The future is now, and the decade upon us has never looked any brighter. This issue, BAZAAR embraces 2020 with fashion innovations that are weird, wonderful, and radical. With interspace travel becoming very much a reality, there’s no better time to channel this mood than with space-age silhouettes, stark-blue locks, and an LED screen bag. It certainly is a bold leap into the future, and in dressing the part, take style cues from our cover star, Samara Weaving, decked in Nicolas Ghesquière’s retro sci-fi looks for Louis Vuitton Cruise ’20. Speaking of which, be prepared to surmount life’s challenges in the Year of the Metal Rat by designing yourself a grand 2020 with Joey Yap’s special curation of the zodiac. Welcome to the new year and may the force, be with you. 

End the year with a bang as BAZAAR shows you the way to embrace vibrant prints and daytime glitz, further personified by this year’s ‘Most Stylish Women 2019’. Going full steam ahead into Cruise ’20, this December issue also zeroes into the major trends of the season, starting with Nicolas Ghesquière’s transatlantic vision at Louis Vuitton, Alessandro Michele’s modern “Rome”-ance, and Donatella Versace’s pioneer woman from the Wild Wild West. This sense of joy and adventure continues on through a phantasmagoria of colourful palate, and palettes—running the gamut from Yayoi Kusama’s artworks to artist Annie Morris’ colourful home.

Be inspired this October as a wave of optimism emerges with empowered dressing on the runways and boundless positivity in the air. The art of confidence-building power dressing is addressed in our guide to black-and-white ensembles, but the feminist force is strong with the list of 10 Things We Love, where broad-shouldered suits and jackets feature prominently, as Diane Keaton shares insight on her unapologetic masculine-styling looks. You’ll also find power jackets and statement coats peppered throughout the issue (it’s Autumn/Winter after all!), including Michelle Pfeiffer’s favourite things. If you need a pick-me-up, try dressing up head-to-toe in bright monotone blocking—see the impact it could make on ‘Bright Now’ for nothing screams confidence like a full turquoise get-up worn with nonchalant aplomb. Speaking of making an impact, 10 Malaysian designers share with us the inspiration behind their designs for this year’s BAZAAR Pink Project. The biggest coup: exclusive cover star Lucy Boynton, who Amy Yasmine styled at the mythical Monkey Island Estate in England, now rising into her prime time. Watch this star!
