Welcome to the Style Issue
We’re thrilled to present Daniel Brühl on the cover of our current Fall/Winter issue of L'Officiel Hommes Austria. Known not only for his immense talent but also his innate elegance, Daniel offers us exclusive insights into his latest Hollywood projects and a rare glimpse into his life away from the spotlight.
In this issue, we explore the true meaning of style. The Enlightenment thinker Comte de Buffon once said, “Le style, c’est l’homme même” – style is indeed the person themselves. This notion invites us to view style as a reflection of character, manifesting in the smallest details of daily life: in our language, our decor, the food we enjoy, and the art of living we embrace. Daniel Brühl embodies this idea with finesse, inhabiting each role he takes on with style – most recently as the iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld.
True style also means maintaining a sense of ease in the face of fleeting trends. It’s not about following every fashion wave but having the courage to step out of line, to make bold, even shocking choices. Style doesn’t protect us from a few fashion missteps – after all, we’re all susceptible – but it does preserve our joy in expressing ourselves authentically.
Ultimately, style is the space where our creativity unfolds, where we tell stories, and where we express our innermost selves. It’s a commitment to who we are and a stance in an ever-changing world.
Let yourself be inspired and dive into a world that not only speaks of fashion and style but truly lives it.
Happy reading!
