Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2017 i Harper's Bazaar India

Daniel Bauer is one of the most influential hair and makeup artists in India, with a career spanning 20 years and over 250 covers to his credit. He has shot for publications like the Indian editions of L’Officiel, Grazia, and Vogue. In this issue, he works his magic on cover star Lisa Haydon in ‘Star Turn’, pg 138. “I first started working with Lisa when she was a Kingfisher calendar girl. To be back with her post baby Zack was very special. She’s one yummy mummy.” Irina Usova Originally from Moscow, Delhi-based Usova sees herself as an Indian at heart. She found photography, or vice versa, in 2009 while working as a fashion designer. Since then, she has worked with leading Indian magazines like Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone, and Elle, and labels…

For her 2017 holiday collection, Kate Spade New York’s chief creative officer Deborah Lloyd stretched her imagination as far as the Siberian night sky for inspiration. “This season, our girl is a romantic beauty who loves to dream but lives in reality,” says Lloyd. So while there were plenty of fuss-free classics that are synonymous with the label—prim cocktail dresses, blouses adorned with bows, and classic knits—a wistful, whimsical vibe came through via prints and crochet details, and embroideries comprising shooting stars, silvery moons, delicate crystal embellishments. The sky dictated the palette used in the collection. Think midnight blues, sunset pink, or iridescent silver, which, in particular, was inspired by the shine of the Aurora Borealis. The brand’s signature accessories exemplified the perfect balance between kitsch and classic. Alongside cheeky…

Meditation is almost like a buzzword these days. Celebrities, entrepreneurs, athletes like Kobe Bryant, Google employees, even Hillary Clinton revealed that she uses breathing and mindfulness practices to anchor herself, particularly after her devastating loss in the US elections. And there’s abundant research on how meditation can reduce stress, enhance wellness, and increase focus. In my experience, as the daughter of Deepak Chopra, I have found that many in India scoffed at the fact that meditation has found such a vast audience abroad. After all, haven’t we been meditating here for centuries? India is the birthplace of these practices, and our rituals naturally incorporate deep spiritual connection. But while we do have a unique spiritual anchor, like many others worldwide, we are exhausted, over-stimulated, and stressed out. And we could…

BOOK “Beauty, as I see it, can teach us tolerance, honesty, and kindness, and our world needs these values more than ever.” If there’s so much beauty and diversity in one country, what about the rest of the world? I wondered. I realised that the wonderful women of our planet need much more attention, and that true beauty is more than what we so often see in the media. In that moment, I started to dream again, and found the strength to break from my comfort zone, quit my job, and go back to photography. I started to travel, take photos, and, little by little, I regained my self-confidence. When I say ‘beauty’, I mean more than the beauty that we often see today, which is usually about sexual attractiveness,…

FICTION Afternoons have always been underrated. Poets and writers are drawn to sunsets, saints and yogis choose the crack of dawn, but the afternoon, unfortunately, is nobody’s muse. No one goes looking for treasures on this bridge that holds the morning and the evening together. One afternoon in Pushkar, the blue-eyed child of the Aravallis, changed this for me. I met Rajuri Devi. My sole companion on this trip was a camera that had gone from being latest to outdated in six months flat. As I walked down streets that had existed for nearly 2,000 years, I couldn’t help but notice how charming Pushkar was despite the age. Wrinkled yes, but not jaded, or cynical, or fatigued. I had taken pictures, bargained for silver, bought but not finished the over-sweet…

PROFOUND BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHIES WEAVE A SPIRITUAL MOTIF through the fabric of daily life in Bhutan, making this remote Himalayan kingdom much more than an exotic destination to tick off a bucket list. Travelling to four of the fabled Amankora lodges, in the valleys of Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, and Paro, my husband Fahad and I took a voyage of discovery through this enchanted country, which is still shyly unveiling its mysteries to the world. The descent into Bhutan was spectacular. The sight of Everest and Kanchenjunga emerging, imperiously tall, through a dense carpet of cirrus, offered a breathtaking welcome. Banking through vertiginous peaks and narrow green valleys, we approached Paro international airport. Below the clouds, an arrow on the notoriously challenging runway signalled the path to the legendary Land of the…

TO MY EYES, THERE WAS NO ONE LOVELIER THAN MY MOTHER. Growing up, I would spend hours watching her get dressed. At other times, I would perch on her beautiful teak dressing table and imagine myself reflected as her. She passed away six years ago, but I still try to catch an Image of her when I look into the mirror. Our notion of beauty is defined by our mothers. It is shaped when we are born and it stays with us, ever evolving, but always true to its origin. I know this is why I still use the same brand of soap my mother used for me as a child. The promise was that it would make me as beautiful as her. I cannot shake off that connection. When…

Throughout history, art and culture have flourished largely thanks to the help of wealthy patrons. Royalty, political leaders, entrepreneurs, and even religious organisations have made art the beneficiary of their philanthropy. In our time, international fashion houses are now taking up the mantle of patronage. Fendi, despite its expansion across the world, has maintained strong cultural ties with its home base in Rome. The Italian house has taken it upon itself to restore some of the most iconic landmarks in the city, a project that has included the restoration of the iconic Trevi Fountain and numerous public art exhibitions. Reaffirming its commitment to the city’s artistic heritage, Fendi recently announced a three-year partnership with Rome-based museum Galleria Borghese. The Galleria is renowned for housing the most relevant and best-preserved collection…

WHEN IT CAME TO SHOWCASING ZOYA’S MUSÉE DU LUXE collection, Amanpreet Ahluwalia, the brand’s business head, thought of only one designer to collaborate with: Manish Arora. And it only seemed fitting that the collection, which is inspired by the art, architecture, and joie de vivre of Paris, should be shown at Paris Fashion Week this season with a designer who is known for his love of the city. What clinched the collaboration was a match in vision—a focus on craftsmanship, design, and quality. Arora’s pieces for the collection, from concept to delivery, took between four to nine months to produce. One look at the incredible detailing on some of the dresses and it’s clear why. Take, for instance, a fully sequinned, sleeveless midi dress in kaleidoscopic colours that is handmade…

BOOK “You know what?” she said to me. “It’s Sunday.” “I do know that,” I told her. “I live in the moment.” “I admire that about you. Smart. Caring. Easygoing to the point of sloth.” “You’ve gone from compliments to insults.” “Change sloth to languorousness,” she said, sipping wine. “Point is I like you.” “I like you, too.” I wondered if this conversation was going someplace. “Are you flirting with me?” “No,” Anna said. “I’m propositioning you. Totally different thing. Flirting is fishing. Maybe you hook up, maybe you don’t. Propositioning is the first step in closing a deal.” Anna and I have known each other since high school (St. Anthony Country Day! Go, Crusaders!). We didn’t date, but hung out in the same crowd, and liked each other. After…

At Koko, Mumbai’s favourite Asian gastro-pub, Bazaar celebrated the release of the new Grey Goose VX, Vodka Exceptionnelle. Founded by entrepreneurs Keenan and Ryan Tham, the slick, modern restaurant was the perfect setting for a star-studded evening. Film industry professionals such as Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Farah Khan, Diana Penty, and Huma Qureshi stopped by for an exclusive Taste By Appointment session with Dimi Lezinska, Koko’s director of beverages and an internationally acclaimed mixologist. A blend of vodka with rare, aged cognac, Grey Goose VX was the perfect base for multiple rounds of classic martinis served stirred (not shaken).…

WORKING IN THEIR STUDIO IN NOIDA, designers Hemant and Nandita Lalwani constantly think of the women who buy their clothes in cities like New York, Cairo, Switzerland, and Seoul. In the 13 years since they started their eponymous label, the couple have shaped and refined their own sensibilities to cater to a global audience, one that keeps expanding as they find new buyers. And what this clientele needs is a wardrobe that is versatile and wearable. In 2009, the Lalwanis decided to stop making Indianwear and limit their scope to ready-to-wear—this move allowed them to find the focus they needed to take on global retail. Creative head Nandita and the more entrepreneurial Hemant realised that only by harnessing the wealth of embroidery and craft skills available to them as an…

DÉCOR IRA STUDIO Locally-sourced materials, the handiwork of master craftsmen, and contemporary design sensibilities come together in the studio’s stunning collections. Our favourites include a dome light created with a single hand-beaten sheet of brass, reminiscent of old Indian architecture; Bidri trays with delicate silver inlay on dark zinc; and a brass and teak wood stool, which features a traditional Indian sheet metal technique and a hand-embossed brass plate. www.irastudio.net GOMAADS Concrete transforms everyday pieces—bowls, lamps, tumblers, ashtrays, candle stands, and planters among others—into sculptural works of art.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23-DECEMBER 21 You can no longer deny the need to bring a challenging project to an end. So gather up every ounce of energy and add the finishing touches because it will say a great deal about you. The end might also bring tears to your eyes. Don’t be afraid to let them show. Motto of the month Walk in another’s tracks and you have no footprints of your own. CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 20 Loved ones may struggle with a situation they have never encountered before.

Motto of the month To truly hear you must quiet the mind. AQUARIUS…

For one Friday afternoon, Delhi’s Perch Wine and Coffee Bar transformed into a veritable beauty destination. The wooden dining tables at the light, airy space served as beauty counters, as an intimate group of people gathered to try out the eighth generation Clarins Double Serum. Bazaar, along with the French beauty label, kickstarted the event by welcoming guests with a turmeric cocktail—a nod to the newest of the 20 potent plant extracts used in the serum’s formula. After filling out a questionnaire, and determining the age of their skin through a fun quiz, guests bared their face of makeup for the Clarins beauty routine, the star of which was the new launch. During the demonstration, Karen Kee, international trainer for the brand, explained how to use and apply the products…

Princess Diana embodied the ideal of royalty—she was stunningly beautiful, a fashion icon, and a humanitarian. As this year marks the 20th anniversary of her tragic demise, Bazaar looks back at one of her most recognisable photographs. Shot by the legendary Patrick Demarchelier, this December 1995 cover captures the Princess’s beauty effortlessly—in black and white with no added frills, not even jewellery. A personal friend of Liz Tilberis, the editor at the time, Diana agreed to this exclusive photoshoot while on a visit to the United States. And the rest, as they say, is history. Taken a year before her divorce from Prince Charles, the portrait is at once empowering and vulnerable. It shows a more mature Diana stripped of all distractions while also foreshadowing her isolation once severed from…
