A sneak peek of our Nov '17 issue
Taking a step back from the technology-ridden world is what L'Officiel Malaysia November ’17 issue is all about, which pays tribute to all things traditional and natural.
Managing editor Monica Mong says, "Producing a print magazine in the digital age is a bumpy journey. It is like how people choose fast fashion items, while a handful of artisans continue working on their masterpieces in hidden ateliers."
And for this "Artisanal" issue's cover, we feature not one but two emerging models on the cover – Céline Delaugère (@celinedeldel) and Hannah Bennett (@hannahbennett7).
Both dressed in sleek fur and coats from the Fendi Fall/Winter 2017 collection, the two borrows menswear codes and stun perfectly in tough tailoring – a key trend of the season.
From handcrafted products to all-natural goods, get to know the brands that are keeping it old-schooled and practicing time-honoured methods while preserving the environment.

"Consequently, L'Officiel Malaysia would become much like a crafted book crafted for inspirational purposes..."
– Monica
Whether you are interested in investing in a personalised Bottega Veneta bag in A Little More Personal, admiring hand-engraved timepieces in State Of The Art, introducing artisanal beauty products into your skincare routine in The Bare Neccessities or exploring locally made accessories in #madeinmalaysia, skilled craftsmanship has never been more prominent.
On the final note, Monica says, "Looking back 10 years ago when I first started in this industry, the approach to journalism was different. Today, we are required to spend much more time and effort in putting together every single
page."
L'Officiel Malaysia November 2017 "Artisanal" issue is now available at all major newsstands and bookstores nationwide.
