About

Ladybird is a fashion editorial feature for Family Style magazine, showcasing a series of portraits and observational shots centered on model Jeanne Cadieu. The project employs a refined monochrome and earthy color palette, using analogue film techniques to capture architectural silhouettes and soft, natural textures. Photographer Mel Bles leads the visual direction, working alongside fashion editor Kate Phelan to highlight structured garments through minimalist studio compositions and outdoor settings. The collaboration is rounded out by hair stylist Neil Moodie and makeup artist Niamh Quinn, who contribute to the contemplative and clean aesthetic of the editorial.
