Project T: The New York Times Style Magazine · The Thing / Messika Necklace
In a sophisticated editorial campaign for T: The New York Times Style Magazine, photographer Clémentine Passet and set designer Gemma Tickle reimagine the high-end jewellery landscape by positioning a signature Messika necklace against an eclectic array of found objects. The project pushes the boundaries of traditional luxury advertising by pairing the technical brilliance of pear-cut diamonds and deep blue sapphires with the raw, tactile presence of crumpled metallic foil, ridged seashells, and smooth glass marbles. This juxtaposition creates a visually arresting tension, where the precision of pavé-encrusted metal meets the organic, gritty textures of olive-green leather and layered beige felt. The shoot leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing natural light to highlight the intricate facets of the gemstones while allowing the composition to feel both clinical and unexpectedly human. By capturing these pieces through an analogue 35mm film lens, Passet imbues the imagery with a nostalgic warmth that grounds the opulence of Messika in a more accessible, artistic reality. These macro studies of jewelry and everyday detritus demonstrate a masterful control over negative space and color theory, transforming high-fashion commercial photography into a series of still-life portraits that prioritize texture and narrative intrigue over purely descriptive display. The resulting series reads as an intimate, meticulously curated collection that celebrates the intersection of fine craftsmanship and the mundane beauty of the world around us.
Project T: The New York Times Style Magazine · Undone Elegance
In the pages of T: The New York Times Style Magazine, the editorial feature Undone Elegance arrives as a masterclass in quiet, restrained luxury. This fashion campaign leans into the interplay between historical architectural details and contemporary garment design, creating a visual narrative that feels both timeless and urgent. Photographer Marc Hibbert captures a series of evocative portraits that prioritize texture and tactile nuance, utilizing natural light to delineate the intricate ruching, fringed hemlines, and sculptural draping of the featured collections. With precise creative direction and styling from Benoit Bethume, the project channels a spirit of editorial minimalism, where the focus remains steadfastly on the interplay between the human form and the structural environment. Model Bebe Parnell brings an intense, composed presence to these settings, which are further elevated by the thoughtful, atmospheric set design of Georgia Currell. By integrating techniques such as low-key chiaroscuro lighting alongside soft, directional natural light, the team crafts a sophisticated aesthetic that balances high-fashion rigor with an organic, lived-in fluidity. Every frame acts as a study in contrast, from the starkness of leather opera gloves against draped white silhouettes to the intricate metallic fringe that catches the light in dimly lit, moody interiors. It is a refined exploration of modern elegance that succeeds by stripping back the unnecessary, leaving only a compelling, texture-rich aesthetic that defines contemporary style.
