Photographed by Gus&Lo, the project centers on model Abény Nhial, navigating a series of staged, avant-garde environments that oscillate between industrial minimalism and theatrical dramaturgy. The aesthetic leans into a moody, high-contrast visual language, utilizing deep color saturation and low-key lighting to emphasize architectural silhouettes and tactile fabric textures. Throughout the series, the styling by Rita Skomrova and casting by Paul Louisor support a surrealist approach to portraiture. The imagery employs techniques such as analogue film and chiaroscuro lighting to create a cinematic atmosphere. From concrete plinths and raw, textured walls to dynamic swathes of satin curtains and vibrant red pigment, the compositions prioritize bold graphic contrasts and sculptural shapes.

Numéro France presents an extensive editorial series featuring model Malgosia Bela, capturing a sequence of refined fashion narratives. The collection alternates between the clinical precision of a studio environment and the raw, atmospheric textures of unfinished industrial architecture. Throughout the imagery, the styling emphasizes structural silhouettes, mixing voluminous fur outerwear and heavy tailoring with minimalist accessories and sheer hosiery. The execution relies on a blend of soft, diffused studio illumination and natural light, while select frames lean into high-contrast flash techniques for added edge.

Project Numéro France · Bain de Minuit
Bain de Minuit, the latest editorial showcase for Numéro France, represents a masterclass in atmospheric fashion photography, masterfully capturing the intersection of luxury fashion and the raw, untamed elements of the shoreline. Through the lens of photographer Txema Yeste, the project channels a surreal, high-fashion narrative that plays with the dualities of light and shadow, coolness and warmth. Central to this aesthetic is the work of fashion editor and stylist Bernat Buscato, whose choices in avant-garde silhouettes and vibrant, color-blocked textiles stand in sharp relief against the moody, twilight beach settings. The imagery utilizes a cinematic approach to composition, leaning into high-contrast chiaroscuro techniques and natural light to elevate the visual storytelling. With meticulous contributions from makeup artist Jordi Fontanals and set designer Virginia Sancho, the series creates a tactile, immersive experience where the environment acts as a character in its own right.

Project Numéro France · Love Story, Numéro Homme 51
Love Story, a feature within Numéro Homme 51, captures the raw intensity of contemporary romance through a distinctively monochromatic lens. This high-fashion editorial, brought to life through the collaborative vision of photographer Marc de Groot and stylist Charles Varenne, leans into a cinematic aesthetic that oscillates between intimate studio portraiture and spontaneous urban reportage. By utilizing both analogue film techniques and sharp studio strobes, the series achieves a timeless quality, where the interplay of light and shadow—ranging from high-key clarity to moody chiaroscuro—becomes as central to the narrative as the garments themselves. Whether capturing models like Bram Valbracht or Estella Brons in structured luxury tailoring or relaxed, textured streetwear, the work avoids the typical artifice of fashion imagery. Instead, it prioritizes genuine connection, placing the subjects in environments that feel both lived-in and elevated. With hair and makeup by Irena Ruben further grounding the look, the project excels in its focus on tactile details, such as heavy denim, cable-knit sweaters, and tailored leather. By stripping back color, the team forces the viewer to confront the interplay of posture, expression, and sartorial precision, creating a coherent, sophisticated visual dialogue that feels as urgent and candid as the title suggests. It is a masterful exercise in editorial minimalism that resonates with both authenticity and the polished rigor expected of modern luxury houses.
Project Numéro France · Manhattan
For Numéro France, the Manhattan project serves as a compelling study in urban tension, weaving the grit of metropolitan life into the rarefied world of high-fashion editorial. Through the lens of photographer Anthony Arquier, the series transcends traditional portraiture, capturing an atmospheric narrative that leans into a cinematic, noir-inspired aesthetic. The project utilizes high-contrast black and white imagery, masterfully employing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to isolate the sharp, structured silhouettes of luxury tailoring against the chaotic blur of New York City streets. Working alongside fashion editor and stylist Rebecca Bleynie, Arquier creates a visual dialogue where textured bouclé jackets, voluminous feathers, and precise leather tailoring become extensions of the city’s complex architecture. Model Diana Skowron anchors this stylistic exploration, transitioning seamlessly between candid lifestyle shots and minimalist studio portraits that highlight the tactile quality of the garments. With the grooming artistry of hair stylist Annesofie Begtrup and makeup artist Megumi Itano providing a polished yet raw finish, the imagery channels a sophisticated journalistic edge. By integrating techniques such as analogue film aesthetics with a clean, editorial minimalism, the Manhattan project reads as both a love letter to the timeless allure of New York and a rigorous exercise in modern luxury fashion photography, successfully balancing gritty documentary elements with the pristine focus required by a legacy publication.
Project Numéro France · Les infiltrées
Numéro France’s Les infiltrées serves as a masterclass in visual storytelling, positioning luxury fashion within an intense, monochromatic universe. Captured through the lens of photographer Kenny Germé, this high-fashion editorial project leans into the power of stark contrast, juxtaposing sharp, structured leather attire against deeply saturated red interiors and neutral-toned architectural backdrops. The narrative feels both mysterious and highly cinematic, an effect bolstered by the meticulous curation of fashion editor Edem Dossou. Throughout the series, the styling remains cohesive, emphasizing sharp tailoring, pussy-bow blouses, and oversized silhouettes that demand attention. The creative team—including hair stylist Dalibor Vrtina and makeup artist Hicham Ababsa—creates a polished look that feels at once timeless and avant-garde. Set design by Frederick Asseo plays a pivotal role here, utilizing everything from glossy vintage automobiles to deliberate floral arrangements to ground the models, who include Ateta Jok, Balat Pal, and Fatou Kebbeh, in a world of high-concept drama. By blending techniques like cinematic studio strobe lighting with the softness of natural light, the work achieves a graphic, editorial aesthetic that transcends typical fashion photography. Ultimately, Les infiltrées reads as a sophisticated exploration of texture and shadow, where the boundary between high-fashion editorial and fine art portraiture is blurred with undeniable precision, solidifying its place as a definitive statement in contemporary style.
Project Numéro France · MODE
MODE for Numéro France stands as a definitive masterclass in fashion editorial, blurring the lines between high-end garment showcasing and cinematic storytelling. Through the lens of photographer Matt Easton, the project leans into a sophisticated, moody aesthetic that channels both historical grandeur and contemporary urban grit. The visual narrative is defined by a meticulous use of low-key chiaroscuro lighting, which allows the textures of vibrant faux furs, intricate lace, and voluminous tulle to emerge from deep, atmospheric shadows. With creative synergy from stylist Charles Varenne, the compositions frequently juxtapose avant-garde silhouettes against ornate, classical backdrops like historic interiors and grand parquet floors, creating a tension between the subject and their environment. The inclusion of technical precision from hair stylist Daniel Martin and makeup artist Tom Pecheux ensures that even the most intimate macro shots feel polished and deliberate. Model Luna Bijl commands the frame throughout, moving seamlessly between the high-contrast drama of a nighttime city street and the surreal, staged elegance of a private interior. By employing techniques like soft light and natural light balance, the project achieves a rare editorial minimalism that prioritizes mood over distraction. Every frame serves as a study in contrast, texture, and refined composition, solidifying the collaboration as a pinnacle of luxury fashion imagery that feels both timeless and aggressively modern.
