Charles Blunier redesigns the glossy magazine L'Officiel Schweiz
The Zurich-based design agency Charles Blunier & Co. is now responsible for the layouts of all Swiss editions of the glossy magazine L’Officiel, including L’Officiel Hommes and L’Officiel Couture. Back in the spring of 2018, Blunier and his team were commissioned by the Jalou Media Group in Paris to redesign the Swiss editions and provide creative direction for them.
Charles Blunier & Co. is now responsible for the design of all issues of the glossy magazine L'Officiel. The publications were revised and restructured by the Zurich agency. In addition, the team produces parts of the content. "It's always challenging to implement the content in an avant-garde way but still in the tradition of L'Officiel," says Blunier. "But it's always been a cutting-edge magazine. And even though it's already state-of-the-art, we were chosen to design this legendary publication." A total of six magazines bearing Charles Blunier's signature will be published in 2018.

Initially every two months, but now ten times a year with a double issue each in winter and summer. L'Officiel Hommes is published twice a year, and L'Officiel Couture once.
