Description

Captured by photographer David Sims for Harper’s Bazaar France, 'Mathilda & Ella' is a fashion editorial series that oscillates between raw, high-contrast monochrome studio portraits and warm, retro-infused interior narratives. The project leans into a gritty, cinematic aesthetic, pairing voluminous leather textures and sharp tailoring with spontaneous, candid energy. Fashion editor and stylist Emmanuelle Alt curates the wardrobe, featuring a blend of retro-inspired silhouettes, structured leather, and vivid knitwear. The production is rounded out by detailed set design from Poppy Bartlett, which grounds the editorial in an immersive, nostalgic environment. The visuals are punctuated by precise hair styling from Paul Hanlon and bold, graphic makeup by Yadim, all while showcasing the dynamic presence of models Mathilda Gvarliani and Ella Dalton.
