CHAPTER 1 Website:- www.lofficiel.in PRELUDE
Breakfast with... CONFESSIONS OF A CHILD OF THIS CENTURY Everybody loves Glenn Martens. Within just a few seasons he has brought forward an architectural aesthetic inspired from the ’90s, which intends to defy “good taste”. A rendezvous with the incredibly romantic creative director of Y/Project. L’Officiel
Breakfast with... Do you agree with the term ‘unisex’? Isn’t it a bit unfashionable? Glenn Martens: I’m not sure if that word is suitable. I make some clothes for men and the others for women and, in this large dressing room, 40 per cent of my creations are for both. When I start sketching it is a single, large collection. “Unisex” is just a simple way of classifying the clothing. But, in truth, more than a man, a woman or a social group, an individual wears the clothes, which gives him/her significance. My clothes exist to let personalities reveal themselves. L’Officiel
Breakfast with... It therefore has the function of clothing and aesthetic, also that of a dream? Yes, but it isn’t restricted by a social obligation. It is, nonetheless, protesting now! Yes, most certainly, and many designers do so very well. Personally, I love fashion for it allows me to be. Without being defined by one role. We are, you and me, several personalities. I could be a businessman, a lover, the worst of the clubbing youth, an uncle or a very loving godparent. I am all of these things during a week. And this opportunity, that is available to us, I like to Are you aware that your fashion resembles a puzzle constructed around several references, the ’90s, street wear, the Renaissance, Tupac, Napoleon—which gives it a radical expression, almost brutal, even if it comes across as extremely poetic? My fashion is diverse and complex but my goal is never to shock. I want to have a ball, amuse myself, celebrate this diversity that enriches our world. Moreover, my team is a reflection of who I am, We are 15 and there are, two French, a Turk, an American, a Canadian, Israelis, Belgians… many histories that intersect and different personalities. L’Officiel
Breakfast with... You know then, what it is to be extreme… I can be an ascetic staying shut up in my apartment for weeks and then I can be completely the opposite. I don’t believe in following a single path. Do you still feel this freedom in today’s violent world, with elected heads of state who do not propagate diversity and openness? I feel them both simultaneously, on the one hand a world which is becoming more closemindedand over conservative and then the people around me who have and enjoy this freedom. Who are not afraid. Judgement is perhaps less important, it is there but we don’t care. So much so that we are respectful, we can do what they’d like. One must, nevertheless, have roots, a culture, parents, people who give you a solid foundation, I can say that everyone born in western Europe this last 30 years have been lucky. Now it is a matter of what we do. I have a base and a clan but it was necessary for me to free myself and move way from the world of colonels and soldiers in which I grew up. I left for Paris to make chiffon. “My fashion is diverse and complex but my goal is never to shock. I want to have a ball, amuse myself, celebrate this diversity that enriches our world.” L’Officiel
GIRL IN THE WIND She is a model and a musician, born in London in 1992. Meeting StazLindes, the daughter of the guitarist of Dire Straits and the new muse for Yves Saint Laurent Beauté. Your beauty tips and everyday makeup? I start with a Caudalie cleansing foam, then a serum and a Caudalie day cream. As for make up, I prefer to remain natural, I don’t like to modify my complexion or put on any effects that are obvious. Just some SPF 50, lipstick and mascara. Who takes care of your hair? I am a fan of the David Mallett salon in Paris, one finds the best colourists there. I try not to wash my hair too often to prevent them from becoming too sensitive. I use Oribe products or vinegar for the shine and eco-friendly products by Earth Science. L’Officiel

And TALL She STANDS Private to a fault, lover of nature and nailpaints, she is cinema’s favourite muse. Actor Tabu tells us about her unconventional choices in life. L’Officiel
Cover Story The thing about Tabu is that you don’t exactly get what you come prepared for with the usual expectations. For one, she has small feet compared to what you’d imagine a girl that tall and she treads softly with little realisation of the star that’s she is. She is not waiting for an entourage to escort her to the hotel room, she just walks in quietly on time in a black kurta-pajama and is ready to try on the looks for the shoot. And no there are no hangers-on to give their wee-bit opinions on what looks good on her and why she should “totally wear that.” For More subscribe the magazine LOfficiel INDIA “A professional must understand that if you are in the hands of another professional, they will do what is best for you, because it’s a symbiotic relationship.”
Cover Story Her first movie as a lead opposite Sanjay Kapoor in Prem (1995 directed by SatishKaushik and produced by Boney Kapoor), which took eight years to complete, ended being the biggest flop of the year. So, Tabu’s first release as the “official” leading role was in PehlaPelhaPyaar in 1994 opposite RishiKapoor, which went down the drain before you could say flush. Even tough the films had flopped, the industry noticed Tabu, the only individual who dusted off the ashes of a debut flop to do Vijaypath, opposite Ajay Devgun, that eventually helped the audience and critics realise that here was a girl molded for bigger things.

RUNWAY ARTIFEX When art imitates life and fashion embraces art, a strange but sometimes magnificent fusion is born. We take a close look at our favourite times fashion became a blank canvas for artistic magic to unfold. L’Officiel
Art Probably the most re-posted look from the 2017 fashion week in Paris was at the MaisonMargiela Artisanal show, where an all white trench coat by John Galliano was adorned by a ghostly portrait made of tulle, by multi-disciplinary artist Benjamin Shine. The dark mesh material that continues to wrap the model’s silhouette, even beyond the limits of the garment, creates a sculpture that apparently took more than 300 hours to make. Priceless. Who can put a price on art, you might say, especially when it turns into an everyday piece you can actually live in. For more LOfficiel INDIA DalíMaisonMargiela Artisanal Collection.

Art Apparently having a knack for art, Marc Jacobs had already discovered how well art can work for fashion, even back in 2003, when he invited Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami to work on a, now-famous, range of handbags for Louis Vuitton which re-invented the company’s signature…..LOfficiel INDIA Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2013. 5.
