The powerful visual underscores fashion&rsquo;s take-back in our highly politicised and polarised climate, which we relived as we recap the Fall/Winter 2017 fashion weeks that took place earlier this year. Issues including diversity, immigration, feminism, choice, body positivity and sustainability grabbed headlines alongside collection reports &ndash; something we felt warrants sustained dialogue in L&rsquo;Officiel Singapore&rsquo;s FW17 Dossier.

In this 76-page compendium, we transport readers back to the shows themselves, where cinematic sets and music were part of the magic. &ldquo;Fashion has always been a beautiful, fantastical world in which to nestle one&rsquo;s head &ndash; and our Fantasy issue gives this escape, despite these turbulent times,&rdquo; says Managing Editor Grace Tay. &ldquo;This season, we celebrate the creativity, the rise in savoir faire, the beauty, the wit and the playfulness that lift these otherwise dire times.&rdquo;

We also step into Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s enormous shoemaking factory in Fiesso, Italy, and emerge with a report on its incredible devotion to quality, not just design. We get whisked away into the fantastical world of Dior Joaillerie&rsquo;s Victoire de Castellane, and join our L&rsquo;Off Squad gal Min-Li Tan on her romantic escapade with Ruinart.
