Harper's Bazaar Malaysia - May 2025

في هذه القضية

The Spring/Summer’25 collections have gone out of its way to have some kooky Fun, and this month, that exuberant spirit weaves its way throughout this issue. We go mad for maximalism, then pay homage to fashion renegades who break the rules of fashion to come into their own personal style. Our cover star, model/actor Rita Nadira steps into the light as she navigates her career betwen the runway and the TV set. Also having a moment this season is lip gloss, and we go through some of our favourites, followed by a comprehensive dive into our top picks of fragrances to explore, all in our Beauty section. In Jewellery & Watches, striking creations pay homage to nature's poetry as Audemars Piguet opens the doors to a new AP House in Singapore. Not to be outdone, Rolex takes everyone by surprise with the exciting release of a completely new watch. Elsewhere, we celebrate the fun side of design as key fashion maisons take over Milan Design Week with the wittiest if not most elegant furniture and homeware pieces designed to not only elevate your interiors, but to also bring out the joy in everyday home life (those Loewe tea cosies are just too cute!).
