Finally brave enough to post these two covers which inspired the thread as I didn't want anyone to steal my eBay bid...

L'Officiel in Chinese, published from Hong Kong
I believe this magazine may have been a test test issue for L'Officiel China which would launch in partnership with Fashion in late 2003 and then officially in early 2004.

I have some covers of L'Officiel stored in my pc but I had filed them according to years and therefore I cannot provide any detailed info about the models or photographers etc. Usually the file names are month and year of the publication. For example 378 means March 1978.
