WME to Embark on Exponential Growth Through Expansion of L’Officiel by Direct Ownership Model
L'Officiel, a subsidiary of AMTD Digital under World Media and Entertainment Group (WME), has announced plans to expand into four new markets in 2025: Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Taiwan. The expansion will include both digital and print versions. This development follows L'Officiel's acquisition by AMTD Group in early 2022, adding to its existing presence in over 30 countries globally.
The expansion will implement a direct ownership model, strengthening L'Officiel's international platform and presence in key luxury markets. The century-old magazine has maintained continuous publication, even during World War II, focusing on fashion and style evolution with a future-oriented perspective.
