Bringing a fresh start to 2020, model Manami Kinoshita dances her way into our hearts, dressed in Saint Laurent and shot in Tokyo, Japan.

L&rsquo;Officiel Malaysia returns with its first issue of the year. The February 2020 issue sets the mood for the month of love, this time uncovering the more extreme and feistier side of romance &ndash; hence the theme &quot;Hardcore Romance&quot;.

And to front this feisty issue, we have Japanese model Manami Kinoshita shows her talents in modelling through the art of dance&nbsp;(which we credit her mother, who is a dancer) as she showcase the beauty of the latest Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello collection for Spring/Summer 2020.

Within the issue, we take a look at the Spring/Summer 2020 runways, where we observed how fashion is underscored by provocation, perversity and innuendoes in Erogenous Zones.

Over in One Night In Shanghai, we have exclusive stills of the SELF 05 campaign starring <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion/supermodel-ju-xiao-wen-goes-bald-for-our-4th-anniversary-issue">Ju Xiao Wen</a>, where it is&nbsp;curated by Wong Kar Wai and directed by his long term collaborator Wing Shya.

In Radical Romance, we highlight a cast of&nbsp;young and emerging designers that have refined their conceptual, fantasy-fuelled collections into a beautiful art form that transcends time and trends including the likes of Noir Kei Ninomiya, Molly Goddard and more.

While this season&rsquo;s fashion jewellery exudes a whole of lot of quirk and kinks as seen in Tough Love, our watch feature,&nbsp;Agents Provocateurs, unveils fine watchmaking&rsquo;s hidden secret embodied by erotic horology.

In Art Of Decorating, makeup artists backstage go kitschy with sparkly and pretty adornments, beyond just makeup products. Behind closed doors in Sex In The City, we met the hustlers of Kuala Lumpur after dark as they give us a raw, unadulterated insight into their controversial jobs in the flesh trade.
