Not ones to shy away from the limelight, these creatives whose works reflect an unfiltered sense of self-expression are the true embodiments of individualism.

If there is one thing we took away from the Gucci Pre-Fall 2019 collection is the idea of&nbsp;&quot;cultural juxtaposition&quot;, an idea strongly envisioned by creative director Alessandro Michele.

That idea looks towards&nbsp;counter-cultural groups, ones that stand out of the norm, who co-existed naturally, bringing a new meaning to self-expression and individualism. That is one thing that we at L&#39;Officiel Malaysia also feels strongly about.

That brings us to the attention a special collaboration between L&#39;Officiel and Gucci, where we star six artists, each an expert in his/her respective fields, in an exclusive shoot to tell a story of what they think of individualism and self-expression.

Hishiko Woo (<a href="http://instagram.com/hishikotattoo">@hishikotattoo</a>):

&ldquo;Tattoo is one of the things in the world that lasts a long time. I love to create designs that tell a story or evoke emotions, as I am usually emotional.&rdquo;

&nbsp;

Mandee Lee (<a href="http://instagram.com/mandeemoko">@mandeemoko</a>):

&ldquo;I love how tattoo ages on human skin. Get tattooed, grow old and be buried with your tattoo. It gives depth to your personality and enhances your aura.&rdquo;&nbsp;

THE ILLUSTRATORS

Silas Oo (<a href="http://instagram.com/silas.jpeg">@silas.jpeg</a>):

Pang Hei (<a href="http://instagram.com/icedout.lambo">@icedout.lambo</a>):
