AnOther Man Magazine

Apr 2026

In this evocative series for AnOther Man Magazine, photographer Marie Valognes captures the legendary musician Kim Gordon through a lens that perfectly balances raw, reportage-style energy with the refined architectural silhouettes of Jil Sander. The project functions as a high-fashion editorial portrait, grounding Gordon’s status as a cultural icon within a series of intimate, urban, and interior settings. Across these images, the interplay between light and texture becomes a central theme, ranging from the dramatic, low-key chiaroscuro lighting that carves out the details of a black leather coat to the soft, cinematic natural light that spills into modern, sunlit spaces. Valognes leans into the interplay of shadow and form, utilizing techniques that range from a moody, film-like atmospheric aesthetic to candid lifestyle reportage. Stylistically, the work avoids the artificiality of traditional luxury fashion advertising, instead favoring an authentic, contemplative approach that allows the structural integrity of the garments—from wool crepe coats to metallic pointed-toe heels—to harmonize with Gordon’s own storied, no-wave persona. With subtle support from hair stylist Dora Roberti and makeup artist Andrea Severino Sailis, the resulting visuals feel both spontaneous and deeply considered. This project serves as a compelling masterclass in modern fashion photography, demonstrating how to elevate commercial apparel into timeless, editorial-grade storytelling that feels entirely personal to its subject.
