This month our Cover Star is Jhené Aiko @jheneaiko Recording artist with a unique approach to her sound, she is the first artist to intersect sound healing, meditation and music on a large scale. In her own words: “What inspires you to make music? Can you tell us about your personal touch? I’m inspired by life, nature and my family. As I journey through life and make tons of mistakes (lol) I also learn so many lessons. As I share my experiences and lessons learned through my music, I’m inspired by the connections I make with the people who listen to it. I’m inspired to continue to create when I see I am not alone in what I experience. I am also inspired when I know I am helping someone feel less alone on their journey. I’ve always been very sensitive to sound and energy, so I try to create music that I personally find pleasant and not too disruptive to the nervous system.” Creative Director and Photographer Mike Ruiz @mikeruiz.one Interview/Editor-in-Chief @dimitrivorontsov Full Story on www.lofficielmontecarlo.com/Jhene-Aiko Jhené Aiko x L'Officiel Fashion Book Monte CarloTM Talent: Jhené Aiko @jheneaiko Publication: L'Officiel Fashion BookTM - Monte Carlo @lofficielfashionbookmontecarlo @lofficiel.montecarlo Photography, Creative Direction, and Production by: Mike Ruiz @mikeruiz.one @mikeruizone Editor-in-Chief: Dimitri Vorontsov @dimitrivorontsov Stylist: Sam Wolf @sam__woolf Hair: Kahh Spence @kahhspence Makeup: Nikko Anthony @nikko.anthony Post-production special effects by: Daniel López @alarcn.daniel Website www.lofficielmontecarlo.com Cover B: Couture dress by Iris van Herpen, IG @irisvanherpen Cuff by Parts of Four, IG @partsof4 Nose piercing and ear cuffs by Malakai, IG @houseofmalakai Shoes by Aquazzura, IG @aquazzura Photo 2: Full look dress and gloves by Moschino, IG @moschino Earrings by Cartier, IG @cartier #lofficielfashionbook #lofficielau #lofficielmontecarlo #mikeruiz #mikeruizphotography #mikeruizproducer #jhenéaiko #jheneaiko
