For all intents and purposes, Marie-Jos&eacute; Jalou was born with a fashion magazine in hand. She attended her first couture show at the age of three. L&rsquo;OFFICIEL was the family trade. The majority of her childhood memories involve fashion. In 1968, at the age of 19, she joined the firm and took her first job as an illustrator. In 1978, she made her first appearance as an editor, the next stop was couture editor, and final stop was Editor-in-Chief, where she reigned as matriarch of the publications for fifteen years from 1988 to 2003. She briefly returned in 2016. Under the overall leadership of Chairman Calvin Choi, her four children, including Benjamin Eym&egrave;re, CEO of L&rsquo;OFFICIEL, are still heavily involved in running the business and keeping the legacy alive.
