Business Wire
AMTD Group, AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB) and AMTD
Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD) jointly (altogether known as “AMTD”)
announced that the franchisee operating the L’Officiel’s
Philippines business, including both digital and social platforms
as well as prints of L’Officiel and L’Officiel Hommes, has been
successfully acquired by AMTD.
Philippines represents another country in South East Asia in
which AMTD has successfully transformed and developed into a direct
owner’s model to deliver a global brand’s unity and consistency
under the L’Officiel brand which carries an over 100-years of
heritage from France as one of the oldest fashion media
globally.
AMTD announced the roll-out of the AMTD World Media and
Entertainment Group ("AMTD WME") earlier with L’Officiel being a
predominant media IP and global businessuser of WME. The continued
expansion of direct owner’s model globally as well as the escalated
focus into more counties and cities in Asia on top of the currently
comprehensive footprint in China, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia,
Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, etc., have all contributed to
further strengthening of the L’Officiel brands into a new era under
AMTD’s global ownership.
Danyl Geneciran, Editor-in-Chief for L'Officiel Philippines,
commented, “Times have changed in fashion publishing and L’Officiel
rises to this challenge by continuing to bring value to its
readers. With AMTD’s acquisition of L’Officiel Philippines, this
positions the Brand not just as a fashion platform, but as a leader
in the realm of modern media innovation. I look forward to being
part of the AMTD family and evolving the way the team works through
ideas.”
Denise Lau, Head of Strategy and Partnership of AMTD WME, and
Asia Managing Director of L’Officiel Inc. SAS, commented, “We
extend a warm welcome to the Philippines team on behalf of
L’Officiel Global. We are confident that the ongoing implementation
of the direct owner’s model on a global scale will significantly
enhance our global IP’s brand values and consistency. Under AMTD
ownership, we are committed to consistently deliver exceptional
services and innovative ideas to our esteemed clients.”
Aileen Soh, Managing Director – South East Asia of L’Officiel
Inc. SAS, commented, “We are happy to announce that L’Officiel
Philippines is now under the direct owner's model. The L’Officiel
SEA team is committed in supporting L'Officiel Philippines and
rolling it into our L’Officiel Asia network to deliver our combined
solutions to every client and brands.”
