Financial Times - HTSI Magazine

Aug 2025

French Ivy is a fashion editorial series for Financial Times HTSI Magazine, captured by photographer Valentin Hennequin. The project leans into a narrative of domestic realism, utilizing a mix of monochrome and warm, natural light settings to highlight textured layering and relaxed tailoring. The imagery channels a contemplative, cinematic mood through its deliberate framing and use of analogue film techniques. Featuring fashion styling by Benjamin Canares and makeup by Lauren Bos, the editorial showcases a cast including models Aboubakar Konte, Achille Genet, and Keny Salgado. Casting was directed by Helena Balladino and Piergiorgio Del Moro, grounding the production in a curated, multi-character aesthetic.
