L’OFFICIEL (LO) How does it feel to be featured on the cover of L’Officiel Malaysia, wearing everything Chanel?
ESTELLE CHEN (EC) I feel very happy to be on the cover of L’Officiel Malaysia. I have never been to Malaysia and I hope to visit the country very soon. I heard that the Chinese culture there is quite similar to China, which I really love. It’s a dream come true to wear head-to-toe Chanel in this shoot. I remember how I used to go through my mum’s Chanel bags when I was a teenage girl and I’d always borrow the vintage ones too use.
PAN HAOWEN (PH) I feel like a princess!

LO Do you have a favourite photographer?
EC My favourite photographer is Juergen Teller. I’ve only worked with him once for the Louis Vuitton “Ladies at the Bath” lookbook. It was when I just started modelling. It was just me, no makeup, wet hair with a toothbrush. It felt very raw and pure. It was just one shot and we were done; it was fast and yet the picture turned our perfect. He is just one of those iconic photographers that everyone wants to work with.
PH Oliverjune, of course. He’s so talented and lively, and he knows how to make me relax and have fun during the shoot.
