CR Fashion Book

Mar 2026

In this evocative series for CR Fashion Book, creative director Emmanuelle Levesque and fashion editor Alastair McKimm push the boundaries of luxury fashion through a lens of raw, avant-garde materiality. The editorial campaign features the iconic Natasha Poly as the centerpiece, transformed into a series of sculptural forms that bridge the gap between high-end apparel and fine art. By utilizing sharp studio strobe lighting alongside soft natural light, the team masterfully emphasizes the tactile interplay between coarse, frayed-edge burlap, architectural tan fabrics, and plush, voluminous faux fur. Each composition captures a deliberate dissonance, where the stark, monochromatic studio backgrounds force the viewer to engage directly with the complex silhouettes and layered volumes of the garments. With art direction by Guillaume Lauruol, the project leans into a minimalist editorial aesthetic that strips away visual noise to prioritize the sheer craftsmanship of the textiles. From tight, symmetrical portraits to expansive rear-view shots, the work channels a sense of deliberate, elevated structure. This collaboration exemplifies a sophisticated approach to fashion photography, where the technical mastery of lighting and composition serves to amplify the raw, unrefined energy of the styling, ultimately presenting a compelling exploration of form, texture, and movement within the modern luxury landscape.
