August Barron

Jun 2026

The ALL-IN N°9 project by August Barron is a masterclass in modern luxury fashion editorial, skillfully navigating the tension between raw human vulnerability and curated high-fashion styling. Featuring talent such as Laia Bonastre and Leopold, the campaign channels a distinct sense of avant-garde intimacy. With expert fashion styling from Léopold Duchemin, the series leans into an editorial minimalist aesthetic, where the interplay of textures—from shimmering metallic skirts and structured satin tops to worn-in leather jackets—becomes the narrative focus. The execution relies heavily on the evocative power of natural light, which softly illuminates the subjects against stark, neutral backdrops, allowing the complex fabric layers and precise garment details to take center stage. The creative team, bolstered by the contributions of hair stylist Yumiko Hikage and makeup artist Karin Westerlund, emphasizes a raw and tactile approach to portraiture. Whether through tight macro close-ups that celebrate skin texture or dreamlike, high-angle shots that frame figures in hazy, domestic settings, the project feels profoundly organic. By incorporating subtle grainy film quality and unconventional perspectives, such as reflections through car glass, the series creates a layered visual experience that feels both candid and meticulously considered. This collection serves as a refined showcase of the brand’s identity, blending high-end fashion design with a cinematic, deeply personal atmosphere that lingers long after the initial glance.
