Inside L'Officiel Malaysia's "Joy" Issue
The month of February is always one that revolves around love (thanks to Valentine's Day) but for team L'Officiel, we decided to take a little turn off-course to talk to you about the idea of "joy" and what brings it to us.
Before we get on with it, we first present to you our cover that stars models Clara Porter and Jeske van der Pal in the best of Gucci Cruise 2019, as shot by photographer Xiangyu Liu in the Medieval Church Saint Honoratus of Arles, France (the city. where the Gucci Cruise 2019 show took place).
A joy that is shared is a joy made double. With that, L’Officiel Malaysia brings you back to a chirpier note as we delve into the very notion of Joy—just in time for Spring/Summer too.
Our managing editor Monica says, "“There are many ways to experience the joys of life. It can be as simple as trying a new restaurant or visiting places you like... What are your little joys in life? Go out and look for them, and be happy!"
In The Joy Of…, we see the S/S ’19 runways churning out a variety of clothes that serve to delight, comfort, transport and transform; while Spring Of Joy explores the potent combo of the bold and the artistic with a sprinkling on sparkles used in some of this season’s most delightful key beauty looks.
