A New Energy, A New World, A New Vision of L'OFFICIEL

For a full century, L'OFFICIEL has served as an official voice of fashion, beginning as the house organ of French Couture in Paris and evolving into a collection of international publications. The very first issue, in Fall 1921, was already in 3 languages—French, English, and Spanish, and today L'OFFICIEL exists in more than 20 countries. With a specific focus on the way we dress and on what fashion creates, L'OFFICIEL has survived multiple revolutions and one World War, never ceasing publication during global turmoil or crises. Deploying the technology of the moment—from illustration to photography, film to Instagram and video—its mission has always been to reflect on the culture of fashion with an eye to the past, and a vision for the future. In our fast-changing world, we want to bring back an honest, direct look at fashion, and to foster a constructive, respectful dialogue across cultures and continents, races and genders. L'OFFICIEL's first-ever Global September 2020 issue—which stars male model favorite Alton Mason and fresh face Shayna McNeil—celebrates fashion with decency and a lack of pretension, starting with questioning what French style stands for in a cosmopolitan culture. To focus not on what divides us, but rather on what unites us. Welcome to the new L'OFFICIEL.
