Project M Le magazine du Monde · Marades De Classe
Marades De Classe is a sweeping fashion editorial for M Le magazine du Monde that explores the interplay between classic menswear and raw, atmospheric environments. Photographed by Theo Wenner, the project lean into a moody, monochrome palette, capturing its subjects across a variety of settings ranging from windswept, pebbled coastlines to intimate, garden-inspired studio sets. Under the creative direction of Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone and fashion styling by Carlos Nazario, the work emphasizes precise tailoring—showcasing trench coats, double-breasted suits, and structured leather outerwear. The editorial makes extensive use of analogue film techniques, relying on natural light and low-key chiaroscuro lighting to build depth. The visual narrative is further refined by the hair styling of Cyndia Harvey, makeup by Lauren Parsons, and set design by Julia Wagner, resulting in a cohesive, layered exploration of modern masculinity and silhouette.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · Le Bell Âge
Le Bell Âge is a fashion editorial feature for M Le magazine du Monde, presenting a series of portraits that balance studio precision with candid outdoor compositions. The project, led by creative director Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, anchors its aesthetic in clean, high-key studio setups that contrast with the gritty, analogue-inspired textures of its location photography. Photographer Tim El Kaïm captures models Lara Stone and Saskia de Brauw through a versatile lens, moving from stark, minimalist silhouettes to layered, tactile fashion ensembles. The styling, curated by Charlotte Collet, relies on a mix of high-gloss leather, voluminous faux furs, and eclectic graphic layering. This visual narrative relies on deliberate, soft light and monochromatic palettes to emphasize the structural details of the garments.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · Macadam Cabas
In a vivid exploration of seasonal style for M Le magazine du Monde, photographer Lukasz Pukowiec brings a kinetic energy to the Macadam Cabas fashion editorial. Working alongside fashion editor and stylist Laetitia Leporcq, the team captures model Jesi Evans in a series of candid, movement-driven frames that elevate the humble tote bag into a central protagonist of urban life. The project leans heavily into a documentary-style editorial aesthetic, utilizing natural light to accentuate the complex tactility of woven raffia, dense crochet, and structured leather accessories. By placing these high-end pieces against the grit of asphalt streets, colorful market stalls, and shifting architectural backdrops, the narrative frames fashion not as a static display, but as an integral component of the daily metropolitan experience. The interplay of soft, bright sunlight and crisp, natural shadows underscores a deliberate focus on texture, from the matte finish of suede to the intricate fringe of hand-woven surfaces. Under the sharp eye of casting director Aymeric, the imagery feels authentic and immediate, successfully bridging the gap between high-fashion editorial polish and accessible lifestyle photography. Through this blend of vibrant color palettes and dynamic composition, the work offers a fresh perspective on contemporary bags and accessories, grounding luxury items within the rhythmic, ever-moving pulse of the city environment.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · Josh O'Connor
For this latest editorial feature in M Le magazine du Monde, actor Josh O'Connor steps into the spotlight, anchoring a series of striking images that oscillate between high-fashion sophistication and intimate, cinematic allure. Under the direction of photographer and creative director Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, the project leverages a diverse technical approach, alternating between the crisp precision of studio strobe lighting and the soft, organic depth of natural light settings. The visual narrative is defined by a sharp, editorial minimalism that allows the textures of O'Connor's curated wardrobe—from ornate military-inspired tailoring to casual knitwear—to take center stage. Fashion editor Virginie Benarroch orchestrates a nuanced style transition throughout the series, while the grooming team of hair stylist Marion Anée and makeup artist Sandrine Cano Bock ensures a polished, enduring aesthetic that remains consistent across varied environments. The portfolio skillfully incorporates varied techniques, including the gritty, evocative feel of instant polaroid film grain alongside clean, high-key portraiture. By blending these distinct visual languages, the editorial achieves a compelling balance, grounding O'Connor in both structured, high-end compositions and relaxed, contemplative moments. This project serves as a masterclass in modern portraiture, highlighting how thoughtful styling and varied lighting can transform a single subject into a multifaceted study of character, all while maintaining a cohesive, refined editorial voice.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · Excès Autorisé
In Excès Autorisé, a high-fashion editorial for M Le magazine du Monde, the creative team orchestrates an evocative study of materiality and excess. Under the sharp creative direction of Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, the project explores the friction between luxury fashion houses and the accumulation of personal artifacts. Photographer Dario Catellani captures these scenes with a distinct focus on natural light, utilizing editorial techniques to transform domestic interiors into stages for opulent display. The series is bolstered by the precise styling of Anastasia Barbieri, whose work leans into a deliberate, elegant chaos where haute couture garments are layered amongst porcelain, vintage curiosities, and scattered luxury accessories. The imagery channels a maximalist aesthetic, with set designer Flavia Manacorda meticulously crafting environments that feel both lived-in and dreamlike. From a monochrome white bedroom to a moody, ruffle-filled wine cellar, the compositions invite a dialogue between the model and the vast array of surrounding objects. With beauty direction by hair stylist Joseph Pujalte and makeup artist Patrick Glatthaar, the talent—including Ida Heiner—becomes an integrated component of the broader visual narrative. This project succeeds by grounding high-end apparel in a tactile, textured reality, blending the polished sheen of luxury goods with the nostalgic, warm tones of traditional interiors to create a compelling, stylized archive of modern material culture.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · Le Gout de M - Arbitre des Elegances
Le Gout de M - Arbitre des Elegances for M Le magazine du Monde serves as a masterclass in the intersection of high fashion and athletic vernacular. Orchestrated by creative director Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, this expansive fashion editorial campaign subverts the traditional luxury aesthetic by placing modern silhouettes against the unexpected geometry of sporting equipment and gymnasium backdrops. Through the sharp, discerning eye of photographer Tom Johnson, the project oscillates between the meticulous control of studio strobe lighting and the raw, kinetic energy of natural light. Stylist Jay Massacret expertly navigates this tension, blending structured tailoring and oversized blazers with athletic shorts, cricket bats, and fencing gear to create a dialogue between classical elegance and performance culture. The imagery, which includes evocative selections captured on 35mm film, utilizes bold color blocking and symmetrical framing to elevate these athletic props into sculptural elements. With hair by Christian Eberhard and makeup by Janeen Witherspoon, the models—anchored by the poise of Noor Khan—embody a stoic, editorial minimalism. This series transcends standard product placement, instead creating a cinematic exploration of form, texture, and movement, where vibrant reds and deep blues serve as the backdrop for a collection that reads as both timelessly sophisticated and provocatively modern in its approach to luxury styling.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · The Eames House
In a profound exploration of architectural legacy, photographer Keith Oshiro captures the enduring spirit of the Eames House for M Le magazine du Monde. This editorial feature transcends traditional real estate photography, instead offering a cinematic study of the residence as a living, breathing testament to mid-century modern design. Through a lens characterized by soft natural light and precise composition, the project highlights the seamless marriage between structured, geometric steel framing and the organic, lush foliage of the surrounding landscape. By documenting both the iconic exterior facade and the intimate, layered interiors, the work reveals the residence not merely as a historic site, but as a deeply personal environment defined by eclectic collections, patterned textiles, and curated artifacts. The photography leans into a documentary sensibility, emphasizing the interplay of textures—from warm wood-paneled walls to cool industrial glass—while maintaining a respectful focus on the deliberate, balanced arrangement of objects that make this home a cornerstone of design history. Ultimately, this series functions as a visual narrative that bridges the gap between architectural grandeur and lived-in warmth, successfully grounding the modernist structure within its natural environment. By stripping away the clinical distance often found in real estate imagery, the project invites viewers into an airy, reflective space where art and architecture exist in perfect, sunlit equilibrium.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · UNE PARADE DADA
Une Parade Dada, a striking fashion editorial series for M Le magazine du Monde, masterfully channels the absurdity and geometric rigor of the Dadaist movement through a contemporary lens. Under the visionary eye of creative director Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, the project blurs the line between human form and sculptural installation, utilizing dramatic studio strobe and chiaroscuro lighting to isolate its subjects against stark, minimalist backgrounds. Photographer David Luraschi captures a series of surreal portraits featuring model Marte Mei van Haaster, whose physical movements are consistently interrupted or enhanced by architectural props and avant-garde accessories. The editorial leans into high-contrast color palettes and bold, graphic shapes, with fashion editor and stylist Anna Claassen curating an ensemble of structured garments that play with scale and abstraction. Hair stylist Magdalena Loza and makeup artist Laura Yard contribute to the project's clinical, otherworldly precision, often concealing facial features or employing intentional cosmetic smudges to emphasize the performative nature of the work. Throughout the series, the interplay of texture, from glossy leather to matte fabrics, underscores a refined commitment to editorial minimalism. By treating luxury accessories as sculptural components of a larger, performative choreography, the team transforms standard fashion photography into a sophisticated, visual inquiry into form, movement, and the avant-garde aesthetic.
Project M Le magazine du Monde · Alexander Skarsgård Du Coeur A L'Ou ...
In a sophisticated editorial feature for M Le magazine du Monde, photographer Thurstan Redding and creative director Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone collaborate to capture the multifaceted presence of actor Alexander Skarsgård. This portrait series moves beyond traditional celebrity documentation, opting instead for a contemplative atmosphere that feels both grounded and cinematic. By utilizing natural light and a muted, cool-toned color palette—at times leaning into a distinctive green-tinted grade—the creative team emphasizes Skarsgård’s introspective nature through clean, structured compositions. Fashion editor and stylist Claudia Sinclair elevates the narrative through a careful selection of formal and relaxed attire, transitioning seamlessly from a sharp suit and bow tie to an oversized overcoat worn barefoot on herringbone floors. The incorporation of a four-part grid featuring the playful complexity of cat’s cradle introduces a tactile, low-key chiaroscuro element that adds texture to the storytelling. Each frame functions as a study in minimalist editorial design, where the deliberate framing against recessed-panel walls and light-toned doors focuses the viewer on precise hand movements and nuanced expressions. With hair styling by Naoki Komiya that maintains an effortless, clean aesthetic, the project successfully marries high-fashion sensibilities with the raw focus of modern portraiture, resulting in a refined portfolio that showcases the power of intentional, stripped-back creative direction within the competitive landscape of international media.

Stylist Charlotte Collet grounds the narrative in a polished, editorial aesthetic, utilizing vibrant primary tones and saturated backgrounds. The imagery frequently employs clean, direct flash lighting to accentuate the tactile contrast between ornate fabrics, such as tweed and fur, and the simple geometry of sandwiches, pretzels, and pastries.
