Family Style

Dec 2025

Ladybird is a fashion editorial series featured in Family Style, captured by photographer Mel Bles. The project leans into a minimalist and contemplative aesthetic, showcasing model Jeanne Cadieu across a mix of studio portraits and outdoor settings. The visuals are defined by a recurring monochrome palette and a commitment to analogue film techniques, emphasizing architectural silhouettes and rich textures in the garment styling. Fashion editor Kate Phelan directs the sartorial focus, utilizing sharp tailoring, leather, and structural layering. The intimacy of the portraiture is supported by hair styling from Neil Moodie and natural-finish makeup by Niamh Quinn, creating a cohesive visual language that remains rooted in soft, natural light and desaturated compositions.
