Elle France

Jun 2026

In the striking editorial feature Ames Fleurs, Elle France captures a sensory exploration of seasonal transition, blending luxury fashion house aesthetics with the organic intimacy of a sun-drenched garden. Photographer Laurie Bartley crafts a series of images that feel both grounded and ethereal, leaning into natural light to accentuate the tactile qualities of the featured collections. Stylist Hortense Manga expertly curates a wardrobe that juxtaposes delicate crochet detailing and intricate floral embroidery against bold, architectural silhouettes, creating a visual narrative that is as romantic as it is modern. Model Em Verleun anchors the series with a presence that feels candid and poised, while makeup artist Tiina Roivainen emphasizes a raw, authentic beauty through the lens of Editorial and Lifestyle photography. The project masterfully employs a shallow depth of field and soft, directional lighting to focus on the interplay between fabric textures and the surrounding lush greenery. By framing Em Verleun against distressed wood, glass apertures, and verdant foliage, the team evokes an atmosphere of nostalgia and quiet luxury. The result is a cohesive, dream-like portrait of contemporary style that prioritizes mood and composition, turning each frame into a study of light, color, and layered garment design. This collaboration serves as a polished testament to the power of editorial minimalism, where the focus remains steadfastly on the grace of the subject and the craftsmanship of the clothes.
