Tiffany & Co

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.

The holidays are upon us soon enough, so there’s no better time to start planning your vacay looks than now. This month, we delve into the Cruise collections with looks inspired by vibrant locales and aquatic folklore. Then from olfactory experts to a literary firebrand, we take you through conversations on authentic expressions, identity and personal style. Céline Roux of Jo Malone and master perfumer Anne Flipo clue us in on their new scent of serenity, while writer Dina Zaman readies herself for a sense of scrutiny with the release of her latest memoir, Malayland. Malaysian designers Ana Abu and Shalma Ainaa get together to discuss authenticity while we sit down with designer Phillip Lim as he celebrates the 20th anniversary of his label. In our cover story, dancer, model and content creator Athina Kamarudin opens up about maintaining relevance in an industry always on the lookout for new talents. Elsewhere, driver Zhou Guanyu shares his fashion formula to becoming one of  the most stylish figures in the F1 paddock.

Fashion artistry is especially high this month. Our couture collections report takes you to the apex of fashion creation, where Dior finds inspiration in the Olympic Games to celebrate movement while Chanel presents a haute couture collection minus the presence of a designated creative director. Bridging art and exquisite expression, fine jewellery collections add new twists to heritage motifs. Make-up trends from the A/W ’24 runways see a return to deeper hues and grungier looks while we analyse menswear’s kinky takes on neoclassicism this season. Elsewhere, designer Tory Burch reflects on her two-decade fashion flex while Malaysian wunderkinds Dickson Lim and Alice Jane of A-Jane  pick each other’s brains out as they discuss tailoring and finding identity through their designs.

From the polished and demure, to the abstract and obscure, it’s proving to be one very eclectic season in fashion. Our report on the Autumn/Winter ’24 runway collections unfolds this month, with fashion editorials dedicated to spellbinding sirens and sumptuous coats, and a report on the return of the skirt. In Beauty, Celine makes its historic debut into cosmetics while we dive into scents that free your curiosity and inner goddess . Elsewhere, in Watches, we get reacquainted with the beauty of lab-grown diamonds and bejewelled jungle creatures while Chanel breaks barriers with a Première watch that is at once a timepiece, a necklace and…headphones?  Then, in our ongoing designer interview series, masters of modern elegance, Khoon Hooi and Brian Khoo engage in a discussion on client relationships, signature styles and the importance of fashion education.

We begin this month with our report on the stand-out collections for pre-fall , weaving our way through Chanel’s vibrant tribute to the city of Manchester and Balenciaga’s take on LA celeb culture, to Saint Laurent’s boudoir impressions and Louis Vuitton’s whimsical expressions. Hats make a welcome return (less beach-ready, more city-savvy) as we prepare for autumn, while elegance gets creative with looks that propose sexy chic , edgy allure and edgier flair by way of strong shapes intermingling with sumptuous prints and textures. But summer isn’t over just yet: denim remains a favourite staple for casual wear and we celebrate our top picks of the fanciest hair clips, scrunchies and headbands to beat the scorching heat. Speaking of scorching heat: Jackson Wang is on our cover—in no less than a 16-page editorial that highlights sides of the Korean supernova we’ve not seen before. He talks openly to BAZAAR, sharing thoughts on fame, loneliness, his new approach to music and a renewed ambition to explore creative possibilities beyond music and fashion.

BAZAAR turns 21 and we begin the celebrations not with one but with three different covers this month: models Gwen Lu and Suganya share insights into their personal journeys within the modelling circuit while South Korean star, Mark Tuan, takes us through his solo adventure. Elsewhere, actor and advocate, Jessica Chastain, talks about her fight for gender equality in the film industry whereas in Beauty, we go on a wellness odyssey while hairdresser Gabriel Llano shares insights on getting good hair. A key highlight this month, our NEO MALAYSIA portfolio pays tribute to Malaysian fashion and creatives with candid designer interviews and breath-taking fashion and beauty editorials produced by some of the country’s most respected imagemakers and style gurus.
