L'OFFICIEL Malaysia Magazine - September 2023

In this issue

While being a champion is sometimes associated with sports and competitive settings, we at L’Officiel feel that the actual essence of a champion stretches well beyond the fields and courts. It resides within each of us, waiting to be discovered and celebrated.

In these pages, we explore the notion that everyone — and everything — has the potential to be a champion in their own rights. Fashion has long been a powerful instrument for self-expression and empowerment, allowing people to show off their inner champions through their distinctive style and choices. 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.
