Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, CoCo & Rico is a fresh and creative publication focusing on cultivating the fashion, beauty and arts industries blossoming within the city. Entertaining and provocative, the magazine showcases the local scene’s brilliant skills while offering insightful articles from local artists themselves. CoCo & Rico aspires to bring together these highly-talented artists with a vibrantly diverse editorial and creative team to exhibit the best Vancouver has to offer.

With sections on fashion, beauty, hair, art, modelling and photography, our magazine aims to create content that is exciting, interesting and significant. CoCo & Rico is unwavering in its dedication to providing visually-stunning and artistic photo-editorials featuring top local talent. We want our readers to step away with a better appreciation for the art and beauty around us and hopefully inspire them to create more beauty themselves.

CoCo & Rico’s mission is to help emerging and established artists working in art, makeup, hair, design, photography, or fashion to introduce themselves to the public – sharing their passion, work and vision with a wider audience. We hope that in collaborating with the magazine, creative boundaries will be pushed from all sides and innovative forms of art and beauty will emerge. In creating this platform, CoCo & Rico believes that Vancouver’s fashion and beauty industry will develop to be internationally recognized and respected. We want the magazine to be the first resource readers turn to for the latest in local fashion, beauty and arts and hope our directory will be an invaluable tool for fashion insiders and the interested public.

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.
