L'OFFICIEL Malaysia - December 2023 / January 2024

En este asunto

“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.
