Fashion today is very much defined by ingenuity. In this challenging era of economic decline and climate change, it appears that a profound shift is taking place. We are experiencing a different growth in consciousness&mdash;a fresh approach to creativity with meaning and conscientiousness.&nbsp;
We are living in this new age. That&rsquo;s why we profiled eight Filipino designers who possess a hustling spirit that yearns for authenticity in every way. This mindset has imbued them with wisdom that elevates their aesthetic codes&mdash;transforming their personal experiences into beautiful forms. Flip to The Unfolding to discover each designer&rsquo;s philosophy along with this season&rsquo;s runway trends where fashion has recouped its feel-good-factor through practical looks.
This issue also gives high regard to the painstakingly handcrafted jewelry and watches for this year. In our Bijoux section, the imagination and virtuosity of these outstanding pieces bring magic from houses like Gucci, Cartier, Bulgari, and Louis Vuitton. Take an insider journey to understand how centuries have shaped the present&rsquo;s savoir-faire as well as the incredible state-of-the-art precision in watch engineering.&nbsp;
Echoing the sustainability movement loud and clear, we also spoke with Aesop&rsquo;s Chief Customer Officer Suzzane Santos on the subject of brand philosophy and how Aesop stayed relevant yet steadfast over the years. This includes the idea of staying true to its value by not succumbing to industry trends. Instead, they seek sincere and authentic solutions that veer away from anything literal and obvious.

On cue, the biggest month for fashion also means a celebration of the groundbreaking talent of our cover stars Kathryn Bernardo and Dolly de Leon for our Power Issue. As the actresses promote their latest film A Very Good Girl, the two are more than ready to showcase their electrifying performances. The female-led film is set to serve as an economic and artistic boost for the local entertainment industry.&nbsp;
Somewhere in the issue, we have more recommendations on fashion and beauty trends, destination getaways, art discoveries, and much more. After all, the idea of a new era also aligns with L&rsquo;Officiel Philippines&rsquo; new business management as the magazine has been successfully acquired by AMTD this month. This expansion contributes to further strengthening the L&rsquo;Officiel influence around the globe from frequency to distribution. I look forward to delivering exceptional stories and innovative ideas to our loyal readers and esteemed clients.&nbsp;
Enjoy the issue.&nbsp;
