This February, set the mood by exploring life after happily ever after in our "Post Romance" issue, featuring Lou Schoof as our cover girl.

Two is always better than one and for our first&nbsp;of 2018 (our February issue), we star the dynamic siblings Lou and Nils Schoof (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/louschoof/?hl=en">@louschoof</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nilsschoof/?hl=en">@nilsschoof</a>) in our cover story.

But, of course, the star on the cover is Lou Schoof herself, all dressed in the latest Prada collection, which was shot by photographer&nbsp;Onin Lorente in Fedderingen, Germany.

&nbsp;

As the rise of the Gerbers, Smiths and Hadids&nbsp;(<a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion/see-the-stars-who-gathered-for-calvin-klein-s-spring-2018-campaigns">see the new Calvin Klein family-themed&nbsp;campaign</a>) show, model families have never been more in demand.

But while those clans trade on wholesome families-next-door personas and mass commercial appeal, the Schoofs (or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/schoofers/?hl=en">@schoofers</a> as they are known on Instagram) are experts at elevating the fashion photograph into something closer to a cinematic lm still &ndash; an image imbued with mystery, tension and melancholy.

On this first issue of 2018, Managing editor Monica Mong says, &quot;Happy New Year! We missed you in January since December/January was a joint issue for us. We are starting the year in a romantic mood, featuring cool siblings of Lou and Nils Schoof in our cover story, which was shot in Fedderingen, about an hour and half drive from Hamburg, Germany.&quot;

ON THE COVER

"The December weather in Berlin was cold and gloomy... That was my first impression of Berlin; grey like Lou and Nil’s black and white pictures on their Instagram."

Titled &quot;Post Romance&quot;, our February 2018 issue is not just talking about &#39;LOVE&#39;, instead we&nbsp;set&nbsp;the mood by exploring life after happily ever after.
