YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S vintage watch
or your mother’s beloved bridal sets—heirloom pieces
passed down at weddings are traditions in themselves. These little
touches, whether new or old, are ones that form the basis of BAZAAR
BRIDE’s September issue. Curating an extensive (over 500) database of envy-
inducing baubles and timepieces, we guide brides towards building their own trousseau
treasures. A comprehensive take on the world of precious metal and gemstones, the special
takes you on a vibrant journey from new high jewellery launches to taking care of your
heritage pieces (pg 56). This year’s watch report breaks down the code for scintillating pieces that
delight with their technical details and innovations (pg 119). Paying an ode to India with an issue
that’s rich in indigenous craftsmanship, heritage weaves, and artisanal décor, the interior special is a
treat for newlyweds (pg 139). As Ali Fazal gears up for the launch of his epic British biographical,
Victoria and Abdul, we ask him to experiment with timeless Indian silhouettes and embroideries
(pg 160). Go green and get gorgeous is our mantra this fall as we explore beauty brands and
products that get you that natural glow while being conscious of the environment (pg 150).
Enhancing Sabyasachi’s heritage couture is his new jewellery line that recalls the beauty
of gems from a bygone era. BAZAAR BRIDE gets an exclusive preview as the
fierce and fabulous Kangana Ranaut dons the finest on our September
cover (pg 179). Looking resplendent like an erstwhile queen, the
Simran star talks about her many moods, style quirks, and
her journey as a reluctant feminist. ■
