The “ugly chic” era is upon us and L’Officiel Malaysia’s May ’18 issue is here to explore that rule-breaking paradox and turn it into a pioneering thought. Ugliness has always had a place in fashion and Toe The Line shows how the boundaries between good taste and bad grow ever more blurry with fashion’s latest obsession with ugly cool shoes. The codes of horology are also being rewritten to make way for diversity in A Matter Of Taste. On top of that, The ‘90s Comeback explores the revival of once-cringeworthy ‘90s makeup signatures, taking the old and making them new again. Finally, do not miss out on Rebel With A Cause that shines the spotlight on five fearless makers shattering the conventional outlook on beauty and art.

“The wider world perceives fashion as frivolity that should be done away with. The point is that fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life. I don’t think you can do away with it. It would be like doing away with civilisation,” highly acclaimed fashion photographer Bill Cunningham once said, eloquently setting the premise for this issue. When it comes to L’Officiel, escapism comes in the form of beautiful fantasies — be it in the realm of fashion or luxury lifestyle. So, what little things have you been doing for yourself during tough times?

On the cover, we have models Janice Low and Aria Ma all dolled up in Chanel’s Californian-inspired Cruise 2024 collection. Their vibrant story can be found on p108 by our deputy editor Joan Kong, and photographer Lock Chee Wei. Aside from the transcendental fashion spreads, there are also plenty of intriguing watch and jewellery features from the world of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chopard and Patek Philippe, just to name a few. While you’re at it, flip to p134 and be prepared to get mesmerised by 11 enchanting new Objets by seven creative teams, showcased by Louis Vuitton during Milan Design Week 2023, p136 for our exclusive interview with famed Malaysian conceptual artist Nicholas Choong, as well as p140 for our specially curated festive gift guide whether you’re shopping for your folks, mates or yourself. 

In today’s fast-paced digital world, it is easy to assume that traditional modes of self-expression have become obsolete, overshadowed by the allure of social media and the like. Although it’s true that technology has improved our ability to communicate, it has, in the process, rekindled interest in conventional approaches that confer a sense of connection that taps into wisdom and experiences between generations. Moreover, they are also favourable since they instil the values of patience, discipline and craftsmanship. After all, the only way to truly comprehend something is to embrace its heritage.

One person who would know about self-expression well is none-other-than our cover star, Lisha Ho. “I see myself aligning with the ever-changing nature of fashion. Just as fashion transforms over time, I too embrace a constant process of exploration, learning and pushing my boundaries. This approach allows me to let the passage of time craft the remarkable milestones of my journey,” she told us during the interview. Turn to p132 for the full interview.

Moreover, as you flip through the pages, you will find plenty of riveting feature stories, such as Artistic Licence (154), which profiles six gifted Malaysian artists who are crafting their very own visual languages; Ride the Wave (p28), which examines the Hallyu movement in the realm of luxury fashion; and our exclusive interview with Volcán De Mi Tierra’s CEO, Santiago Cortina Gallardo (p166), just to list a few.

Enjoy!

“Instead of delving too deep into how rap music is changing, I’d like to say that the musical landscape for all artists has expanded. From my perspective, various rappers are using rap as a musical tool or device, blending it with a wide range of elements to transform their music… If I had to pick a struggle [I’ve so far encountered in my young career], I think the fact that I had to participate in a survival show before I could truly develop my self-identity as an artist, leaving some room to be desired in terms of how I was telling my story, since I was getting constant feedback and being judged,” said South Korean rapper and the L’Officiel cover girl Lee Youngji during our interview. 

In the creative realm, originality necessitates a desire to venture into uncharted territory, challenge the status quo, and push the edge. It’s a personal commitment to be innovative that allows her voice to be heard loud and clear, commanding attention and evoking astonishment. And Lee is one of those people. The Coach newest global ambassador further added, “I think the slogan “Courage To Be Real” is the reason why I’m collaborating with Coach. It reflects the brand’s desire for a confident and self-assured ambassador who is unafraid to express themselves. And since I’m someone who is not afraid to reveal myself, Coach probably saw me in that light. In a society where individuality is highly valued, having the courage to be yourself is more important than anything else, and I resonate with that slogan.” Flip over to p118 for the full interview. 

Within these pages, you will also find myriad of fashion stories on brands like Hermès, Burberry, Tory Burch and MCM which reimagine the very fabric of style as well as thought-provoking reads like Fashioning the future (p32), Charm Revival (p50) and Rising Stars (p66).

We honour the designers who advocate diversity and sustainability, pushing limits and paving the road for a more inclusive and mindful industry.

Model and entrepreneur Ameera Khan graces our cover donned in head-to-toe Miu Miu. “If it wasn’t for [Neelofa], I wouldn’t have achieved this insane amount of successes. I feel like she was the first person to see the potential in me, and she keeps pushing me to do better. She’s always there for me,” she said during the interview, and added, “Thankfully, people soon started to realise that I may be related to Neelofa, but I’m a completely different individual [from her] with a different personality and a different path.” Find her full story on p128.

Elsewhere, you will find riveting reads from our exclusive interview with Han Chong of Self-Portrait (p24) and Quiet Luxury that discusses the staying power of quiet luxury (p138) to a myriad of features where we delved into the latest updates from brands such as Max Mara, Tom Ford and Longchamp, as well as Van Cleef & Arpels, Hermès, Cartier, Rado and Longines in our Style and Bijoux section. 

Inspiring change and challenging the status quo are hallmarks of a champion, so use this issue as inspiration to become the best version of yourself in every way.

This is the Malaysian edition of one of the world's longest running women's fashion magazine. First published in France, L'OFFICIEL is the world's leading authority across fashion, jewellery, beauty and lifestyle. Catering to the stylish sophisticate, the cultured and the well-heeled, each issue of L'OFFICIEL Malaysia features sharp reportage and witty commentary on the latest trends in the world today.

L’Officiel Malaysia turns its gaze towards the future for the October issue.

Retrofuturism directs the conversation in Endless Curiosity to dissect the fashion industry’s stance in the current zeitgeist.

This September, L’Officiel Malaysia celebrates its 7th anniversary with a “Shapeshifter” theme, starring Thai actress Davika Hoorne on the cover stunningly attired in Gucci. From fashion’s very own “seven deadly sins” to all the standout ensembles and accessories that herald the power of shapes and silhouettes, the issue is packed with plenty of style. The wonderful forms that imbue watches and jewellery pave the way for the sparkling showcase of bijoux creations in support of this month’s theme. Beauty ideas abound with the curation of the most inspirational scents, and sensational makeup tips and tricks. Finally, we introduce you to the bunch of young and talented emerging artists driving Malaysia’s contemporary art scene as well as Japanese pop artist Rina Sawayama on how they are reshaping and influencing the world with their unabashed creativity.

A significant month in national history, L’Officiel Malaysia pays tribute to “Malaysia Pride” in the August 2022 issue. Gwen Lu, a Penang native and bona fide international supermodel makes a smashing return to front her second cover for the magazine, donning sleek Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. Modern Heritage shines the spotlight on a quartet of fashion designers who are reinventing the country’s traditional attire in their own way. In the world of homegrown fine jewellers, Habib is the pride of a nation and we trace its steps from 1958 in Gold Standard. The curated showcase in Homecoming of three fine dining establishments at the vanguard of locavorism invites you to the best seat on the chef’s table. Last but not least, the editorial team compiles a Greatest Hits list of what makes them proud to be Malaysian.

Art and design is a theme embraced by L’Officiel Malaysia since its very inception. This year’s June/July 2022 line-up is no less exciting, being a brand-centric one that explores the emblems and signatures of luxury maisons in all their forms and functions. The cover story features Singaporean beauty entrepreneur, Kim Lim, who is pretty much a force to be reckoned with not only in the way she has designed and built her business ventures, but also for her personal style and pursuits. From a discourse on how brands powerfully utilise hues to differentiate and augment their DNAs in Are Colour The New Logos to how non-logo symbols speak out loud and clear about brand identification in Non-Logo Logo, we are led deeper into many design journeys. Bijoux houses are equally adept at reinterpreting their brand “coat of arms” into haute creations with creative aplomb in Mind Over Matter, while The Design of Scent spotlights the art of integrating the creation and crafting of perfume and flacon in high perfumery. In Haven On Earth, we showcase the global tribe of interior designers whose work approach is to be applauded for enhancing the human experience with functionality, innovation, productivity and peace of mind.

For May 2022, L’Officiel Malaysia hits the stride with “The Pop Issue”. MINA, the second TWICE member to grace our cover, goes natural as she channels modern femininity in pretty Kate Spade New York ensembles. Shining the spotlight on the close connection between fashion and pop culture—fuelled by the most influential fashion personalities now hailing from cinema, music, TV and social media—Ready To Wear (Again) highlights the revival of ’90s and aughts fashion, made popular once again by the street style of Gen Z celebs and influencers. Elsewhere, Hollywood glam and ‘80s sophistication rise to a high in Sunset Boulevard and New Radical respectively. The dominant hip-hop culture and its love for the extravagant sparkle of iced out wristwatches and jewellery is showcased to perfection in The Bling Ring. Meanwhile, Squad Game identifies the main pop girls who are making celebrity endorsement great again in the world of luxury jewellery. From celebrity to art, Factory Girl takes on a stunningly graphic Pop Art sensibility that would make Andy Warhol proud. Don’t Look Back rounds things up with a lesson in pop culture through the revealing and enlightening tales behind the scenes in the music, fashion and art worlds.

For the April 2022 issue, L’Officiel Malaysia goes with the flow with a “Human Nature” theme to highlight the inseparable co-existence between humans and nature. Sarawakian musician and artist Alena Murang, who integrates her ancestral heritage and the natural world into her artistry, is a bold and beautiful choice to showcase the iconic Panthère de Cartier jewellery collection. Coming to the rescue of the planet is The Future Of Fabric with a shortlist of the fashion industry’s recent use of innovative materials for a more sustainable way forward. Nature’s exquisite creatures, big and small, gleam in precious gold and traverse an eternal Sahara in To The World’s End. The world of precious watchmaking is synonymous with mesmerising menagerie and beautiful blooms as perennial sources of inspiration in Guardians of Nature. Indulging the creativity of our inner child, Pretty Natural challenges conventional ideas of beauty with the imperfect use of colour and cosmetic paints. Finally, Hometown Glory shines the spotlight on the nation’s most breathtaking ecotourism locales that have the rest of the world green with envy.

The month of March truly augurs well as we celebrate the International Women’s Day, where tributes pour in to mark the many endeavours and exploits of women all around the world. L’Officiel Malaysia also pays a fitting homage to women in fashion for the March 2022 issue with a cover story inspired by women behind the scenes. It features Malaysian model Janice Low, dressed in Dior, starring as a vision of both feminine strength and beauty. By Women, For Women features four iconic women designers who changed the way women dress today, alongside Women Of The Influence, showcasing the trailblazers who opened up the windows of possibility in lifting the limit on what women can achieve in the world of jewellery design. Reinforcing the empowerment narrative is Strong With Spirit, a curation of modern classic timepieces, anchored by high-precision calibres, and enduring design and materials. In The Sound Of Scent, hear from Parfums Henry Jacques CEO, Anne-Lise Cremona, on how the brand’s new creation uniquely enhances a women’s identity. Rounding up the highlights is an incisive interview, On The Basis Of Sex, where four local women advocates take a bold stand to level the gender playing field by challenging the status quo in debunking myths on female autonomy.

In the prelude to Spring, L’Officiel Malaysia celebrates all the pleasurable things in life, both simple or indulgent, for the February 2022 issue. Evoking the mood of the season is Korean actress E Jiah, whose fresh, modern beauty is the perfect match for the sleek and chic Tiffany Knot jewellery collection by Tiffany & Co.. Joy Dressing heralds the top fashion trends of Spring/Summer 2022, showing how a no-holds-barred philosophy will inject more than a pep in your style quotient. Feast your eyes on the luscious bejewelled creations in Café Society, as well as the decadent Métiers d’Art decorative techniques embellishing the dials of Chinese zodiac-inspired haute horlogerie in Eye of the Tiger. To cap off the issue, a revisit of tried-and-true comfort food the likes featured in Fast Life is guaranteed to soothe the (culinary) soul, now and forever. 

L’Officiel Malaysia concludes 2021 with a rejuvenating “Hope & Rebirth” theme to carry us triumphantly into 2022. Fronting the last cover of the year and evoking a natural vision of new beginnings is local supermodel Tuti Noor, dressed in Bottega Veneta and Van Cleef & Arpels. Bright Young Things kicks things off with six new-gen Asian design talents blazing a trail towards the future of fashion. Just in time for the year end is our curation of fashionable gifts listed in Holiday Cheer. Shining the light in jewellery design is Where Do We Go Now? where a new wave of exciting hires is generating buzz everywhere. To signify the trending theme of green-hued watches is Born For Glory, conceived against a backdrop of new life and abundance. Solar Eclipse is a beauty story that inspires us to venture into the light, bathed in the sultry shimmer of golden flecks and bronze washes. Finally, to herald a new era of travel, Easy Does It highlights the art of self-care with a shortlist of curative, soul-nourishing programmes we should all be signing up for in 2022.

The L’Officiel Malaysia November 2021 issue revives the “Indie Spirit” to give a much-needed boost to our current state of mind and energy. Japanese ingénue Natsumi Sekine is the perfect protagonist to front the cover, emanating a powerful vision in the gentlest designs paired with Cartier’s iconic jewellery. Independent practitioners are thriving and in Indie Darlings, we bring you on a round-the-world shopping trip to the coolest independent fashion stores. Closer to home, National Treasure introduces the young and vibrant generation who is shaking things up and spearheading the demi-fine movement in the jewellery industry. Concurrently, luxury watchmaking’s Free To Be Happy mantra infuses liberation as it explores visual concepts and colours that appeal to the free-spirited. Creativity knows no bounds in Come As You Are with a rare brand of avant-garde and fantastical beauty. Meet Gen Z-er Zamaera, who inspires in taking the male-dominated local rap scene by storm and navigating the music industry as an indie artist. Wrapping up the issue is Calling The Shots, a celebration of the rise of independent filmmakers in Malaysian cinema who are making waves in the field. 

L’Officiel Malaysia wakes up to the October 2021 issue with lovely K-pop chanteuse Tzuyu of Twice on the cover, dressed in Coach’s eclectic Fall/Winter 2021 collection—just as the country is reawakening and opening up after months of lockdown. To mark the comeback of many things and a much fuller “in real life”, we are celebrating all notions of reemergence, recovery, rebirth and revival by paying homage to the most memorable designs and creations of the past decades that have endured and are now staging a comeback. In Roaring 2020s, taking cues from the cyclical nature of fashion, we look to the past to predict the comeback trends that will define the next decade of style. This season’s bijoux runway trends highlighted in In With The Old are looking pretty cinematic, throwing back to the fashionable decades from the ’70s to the ’00s. Find out which fine watchmaking brands are renewing timepiece models from the mid-20th century era and earlier in Classics Redux. Closing the issue with a bang is Hipsters Don’t Lie where unforgettable electronics from the past are singled out for the zoomers who value authenticity and the intrigue of life in the simpler times.

L’Officiel Malaysia’s sixth anniversary issue—a milestone that coincides with the highly anticipated L’Officiel centennial—pays homage to the generations of creativity and innovation from the past, present and future. Our cover model, Charlotte Carey Tampubolon, wears a Fall/Winter 2021 by Gucci, a brand that is also celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, backed by a powerful legacy juxtaposing traditional know-how with cool relevance. In the cover story, Fashion Takes Flight, a showcase of fashion’s headline acts and rising stars presents the flyest looks for the season. L’Officiel’s international editions collaborate in Next In Fashion to celebrate up-and-coming local fashion talents from a plethora of countries around the world. From bijoux to fine watchmaking as seen in Midnight Special and Chic Lines, luxury brands are unstoppable with their parade of new collections from high jewellery to iconic timepieces—boasting a renaissance of fresh interpretations to woo both long-time loyalists and brand-new enthusiasts alike. In beauty, Eternal Flame, is an ode to memorable looks made famous by fashion icons of generations past that still deliver pretty modern inspirations today. To round off the momentous issue, an enlightening feature, Family Affair, highlights four mother-daughter duos whose lives and careers are intertwined into inspiring and uplifting composites—a real-life and practical masterclass on how to bridge the generational gap with empathy, respect and openness.

Casting a last glance at the long hot summer, the August 2021 issue embraces the “Influence” theme which strikes a resounding chord in contemporary times. Our cover celebrity, the multitalented Willow Smith not only shines bright in her creative pursuits but as Onitsuka Tiger global ambassador in the Age of Influence as she gets transparent and personal about her triumphs as well as struggles. We transport you to the season ahead with Sign of The Times and Come And Go, our Fall/Winter 2021 style and beauty trend reports, showcasing all the key influences you need to know from on and off the runway. The bijoux world boldly enlists a new generation of Ladies Who Lead from diverse fields to engage and elevate their latest brand campaigns. In the fine watchmaking universe, a Celestial Influence storyline emerges with a myriad of groundbreaking and stellar lunar-centric creations and complications. Finally, Queenmakers uncovers the work of power publicists in the local entertainment arena for a behind-the-scenes look at how a star is born.

Our favourite and perennial “Art & Design” theme makes its annual appearance for the June/July 2021 issue. This year’s reprise is particularly meaningful as it celebrates the L’Officiel centenary filled with not just 100 years of trailblazing and avant-garde fashion but editorial content that has courted, indulged and enjoyed a full and fruitful liaison with the art world as chronicled by Fashion Imitates Art. The Pre-Fall collections are rolling in and our encapsulation in Safe And Sound highlights the most bankable of them offering practical and essential choices for the transition of seasons. What’s In Store gives a glimpse of the lushest spaces around the world offering a unique retail experience in creating a lasting impression and, ultimately, brand loyalty for luxury bijoux. This year’s bounty of contemporary artist and designer collaborations in fine watchmaking as illustrated in The Canvas Of Time reveal covetworthy creations for horology and art fiends in equal measure. In the world of high perfumery, Henry Jacques surpasses all standards with its art of haute parfumerie, and the bespoke design of the perfume and its chrysalis. Lastly, cushion the impact of escalating global property prices with Big Little Lairs, a modern exercise in interior architecture and design showing us how to live large in the tiny spaces of today’s micro apartments.

Our May 2021 “Rule-breaker” issue brings much excitement and provocation with a myriad of stories, textual and visual, that express the many visions and attitudes that break with convention in and out of the world of luxury. This month’s cover starring model Charlotte Tomas looking nonchalant in Louis Vuitton is accompanied by a sweeping and striking sartorial story evoking women’s liberation. Headlining fashion’s rule-breakers is Gucci under the creative helm of Alessandro Michele and we showcase his latest in vintage prints to the GG Multicolour capsule and the Aria experiment with Balenciaga in Born Again, Colour Me Bad and The Melody Of Aria respectively. Jewellery designers have been rocking the boat for more than a century as we spotlight three unforgettable mavericks across the decades in On A Rouge Trip. Meanwhile, high watchmaking shows its penchant for the avant-garde in The Curious Case Of Time with a slew of nonconformist watch cases. Inspiring us with subversive Sixties beauty and glamour is Siren Call with extreme liner and ultra-glitter for the eyes. Wrapping up the issue of rebels and renegades is How Do You Like Me Now with a courageous trio who are paving their own paths as queens of drag to break every rule in the book in their fight for the freedom to be their authentic selves.

Climate change is not an imaginary issue, as Donald Trump once suggested, but a most pressing matter of the times that has led to the rise of the sustainability movement. The L’Officiel Malaysia April 2021 issue dives deep into the thick of things with diverse stories of the “who, what, where and how” around the world that are helping to save the planet. A timeless designer wardrobe with longevity is the best example of circular fashion—our cover girl and Japanese actress Ayami Nakajo in classic Chanel Spring/Summer 2021 is the picture and proof of that. In Can You Hear The Eco?, we take a sweeping look
at how luxury designers and brands, from Chanel’s new climate mission to new-gen designer Marine Serre’s novel take on upcycling, are fashioning a sustainable future. Prestigious jewellery brands trade gemstones for gems of the jungle In Where The Wild Things Are to conserve nature and the planet’s biodiversity. Meanwhile, luxury watch brands are rolling out impactful initiatives in Closing The Loop by funding research, supporting conservation, and integrating responsibility and circularity into their business models. Clean, sustainable beauty is an emerging force with these cosmetic brands that champion non-toxic ingredients, being cruelty-free, and eco-consciousness in Beauty On Duty. Lastly, not missing out on all the green action are boutique retailers that are spearheading the local zero waste movement in Little Big Spenders.
