So you may have seen or heard about the new CITY. Yes, it’s bigger. Yes, it has a new look and feel. Yes, it’s sexy as hell. And the new format is just the most visible of the changes. CITY has been a part of the cultural landscape since its birth in SoHo over a decade ago, but they are the first to acknowledge that there are a plethora of magazines on the newsstand that deal, in not-so-different ways, with the same “style” territory. They wanted CITY to break that mold, to stand out from the crowd, to be original and unique, and they decided to go about being revolutionary by going back to basics.

So the format: oversized, saddle-stitched, classic, reminiscent of magazines in publishing’s “golden age” — the Vanity Fair and Esquire of the ’60s, the Nova and Interview of the ’70s — and with a point of view to match. Every city needs a voice, and they want this city’s—New York City’s—to be theirs. There is a vibrant creative community here, probably the most fertile in the world. These individuals are the architects of influence, but it’s been a while since there was a publication that really personified and spoke to and for them. The new CITY is that book. CITY is the magazine for, by, and about New York City’s arbiters of excellence.

L'Officiel is a French fashion magazine. It has been published in Paris since 1921 and targets upper-income, educated women aged 25 to 49. As of 2006, it had a circulation of 101,719. A men's edition of L'Officiel and eleven foreign editions (as of March 2008) are also published.L'Officiel was first published by Andrée Castaniée in 1921. George Jalou joined the magazine as artistic director in 1932. Soon after, L'Officiel launched the careers of designers including Pierre Balmain, Cristobal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, and Yves St. Laurent, and the magazine became "the Bible of fashion and of high society". Jalou later became the magazine's general director, and ultimately purchased the publication. He transferred ownership of L'Officiel to his three children in 1986. Laurent became the president of Editions Jalou, Marie-José directed its editorial content, and Maxime was responsible for publication. After Laurent died of a heart attack in January 2003, Marie-José Susskind-Jalou became the company's president. In recent years, the publication has taken a more youthful, energetic approach to fashion.

Beginning in 1996, L'Officiel began licensing its brand for use by publishers outside of France. Foreign editions of L'Officiel are now published in Russia, Japan, India, China, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Greece, Latvia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, and Serbia. L'Officiel India is India's "premiere fashion and luxury magazine"; in 2007, its publishers announced that they would also publish L'Officiel India in the United Kingdom to target overseas Indians there.

A men's edition of L'Officiel, called L'Officiel Homme, is also published.
