What's better than one of the world's biggest K-pop stars gracing our music issue cover? Having her on a trio of covers, of course. Hot off a 14th anniversary bumper March issue, L'Officiel Singapore's April issue sees megastar and electro-glam queen Sunmi serving face in an array of bold, colour-laden Gucci fits. And it's clear the ivory milestone's festivities aren't over just yet. "Continuing to celebrate the big XIV this month, we’ve lined up 15 distinct Asian musicians who are changing the face of the game, for our annual music-themed issue," shares Editor-In-Chief, Ian Lee.
