As the ever-enchanting world of numerology would have it, the number 14 signifies independence and personal freedom. And for L'Officiel Singapore's 14th ivory anniversary, these words couldn't ring more true. To mark the occasion, the bumper 207-page March issue celebrates the power of the present moment and an unwavering sense of self – both of which can seem fleeting in today's fast-paced world. Expect an issue jam-packed with Spring/Summer 2021's hottest trends – across fashion, beauty and bijoux – poised to bring out your best self. 

"How are we celebrating, you ask? In the most resolute and self-assured manner, yet without the superfluous flashiness – so here, we present Here & Now, our 14th Anniversary Issue," shares Editor-In-Chief, Ian Lee.  "Just as we toast to being perfectly who we are (with that bit of L’Officiel Singapore edge very much in tact), we hope you’ll celebrate the constant that is your sense of self too."

Opening the pages of STYLE are the sagacious words of Rupaul, "Fulfilment isn't found over the rainbow – it's found in the here and now." And a dose of fabulous fulfilment you will get, with – you guessed it – 14 of Spring/Summer 2021's top picks.  Some other highlights include a lesson on comfort par Layla Ong in Saint Laurent, a journey to the future with Bottega Veneta's much-hyped Salon 01 collection, Longchamp's latest delectable offerings as seen on Aimee Cheng-Bradshaw and a look for every personality in Shop Talk.

And who says makeup is all about concealing? Flip to the pages of BEAUTY for a fuss-free take on putting your best face forward. Coupled with the playful trinity of hair, makeup and nails that remind us all to "just be you" and a relaxing selection of candles for much-needed me-time, expect a beauty edit that's no-frills. In BIJOUX, a modern take on a well-loved classic with Tiffany & Co.'s Atlas X collection as well as a glimmering selection of luxurious timepieces – from Patek Philippe to Harry Winston.

And in the pages of MODE, a treasure trove of stories from eight different Singaporean women – each navigating the maze of identity and selfhood in these transient times. What follows is a love letter to the eclectic city of New Orleans, peppered in a selection of this season's most vibrant looks. Topped off with cover girl and South Korean supermodel Heejung Park in an array of key looks, the message is clear: everyone is already taken, so you might as well be yourself. 

Shares Olivier Burlot, CEO and Publisher of Heart Media: "Fourteen years on and L'Officiel Singapore continues to establish its standing as Asia’s most provocative luxury magazine. Featuring the industry's most coveted faces and names, hottest brands as well as exciting new changes, we are both proud of where we are and looking forward to what is to come."
