Description

Harper's Bazaar France presents L'envol d'Adèle, a monochromatic fashion editorial featuring actor Adèle Exarchopoulos. Photographed by David Sims, the series leans into clean, high-contrast studio portraiture that emphasises tactile garment textures and dynamic silhouettes. The project captures a series of intimate and expressive character studies, utilising both soft light and directional studio lighting to define the subject against minimalist backdrops. The aesthetic is defined by its editorial approach, drawing on clean, analogue film techniques to highlight leather outerwear and layered metallic accessories. Fashion styling is led by Emmanuelle Alt, with hair styling by Olivier Schawalder and makeup by Yadim.
