Harper's Bazaar France

Jun 2026

Captured with the discerning eye of photographer Ferry van der Nat, DE CORPS ET D’ESPRIT for Harper's Bazaar France serves as a masterclass in modern editorial fashion storytelling. Under the creative direction of Franck Durand and art direction by Anaïs Mesmacque and Lise de Martino, the project seamlessly bridges the gap between high-fashion editorial and aspirational lifestyle imagery. Through a lens of curated minimalism, the series explores the relationship between form and texture, utilizing the natural light to accentuate the tactile qualities of its subjects. Model Carol Monteiro anchors the campaign, moving effortlessly from the relaxed intimacy of a sun-drenched poolside setting to the sharp, sculptural lines of a bespoke architectural interior. Stylist Javier De Pardo demonstrates a keen sense of contrast, pairing bold, shaggy faux-fur textures against stark, organic plaster backdrops. These elements are further refined by the precise grooming of hair stylist Sebastien Richard and makeup artist Carole Colombani, whose work ensures a polished yet authentic aesthetic. The inclusion of subtle, lifestyle-focused product arrangements—specifically the luxury fragrance selection—adds a layer of commercial sophistication that remains entirely cohesive with the broader visual language. By prioritizing natural light and high-contrast composition, the team delivers a narrative that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary, effectively capturing a fleeting, sun-drenched essence of leisure and luxury.
