WME to Embark on Exponential Growth Through Expansion of L’Officiel by Direct Ownership Model
AMTD Group and its subsidiary World Media and Entertainment Group (WME) have announced plans to expand L'Officiel magazine into four new markets in 2025: Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Taiwan. The expansion will include both digital and print versions.
This expansion follows AMTD Group's acquisition of L'Officiel in early 2022, which currently operates in more than 30 countries globally. The company will implement a direct ownership model for these new markets, furthering L'Officiel's global presence in key luxury markets.
The century-old magazine's expansion aligns with AMTD's strategy to connect East and West through media, entertainment, and culture, while maintaining its focus on fashion and style evolution.
