Harper's Bazaar Malaysia Magazine - September 2025

In this issue

Rebellion is this month’s key theme, in a way that subverts the idea of traditional elegance and classic silhouettes. In this season’s runway collections, we see a reinterpretation of the hour-glass silhouette, told through big shoulders, nipped waists and exaggerated hips, but in power suits, not evening wear. Maximalist styling encourages our personality to shine through, with eccentric layering of unexpected textures and garments. Everything unfolds in our Autumn/Winter ’25 Collections Report. We also welcome brighter colours for the colder months and a reimagining of the crisp white button-up in all its versatile style expressions. Speaking of versatility, style savant Heart Evangelista oozes edgy glamour in high jewellery selections from Tiffany & Co., as she finds creative freedom upon turning 40 this year. In Beauty, we turn to rave culture to inspire sleek party looks, then talk to Academy Award-winning actors Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman on how their roles as beauty ambassadors echo their approach to films. Elsewhere, in Escape, we board the new Orient Express to explore the romance of Rome and Venice while Longchamp trades Parisian pavements for Italian sands with the debut of its beach club.
