About

Le grand bleu is a fashion editorial series produced for M Le magazine du Monde. The project leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing a restrained color palette and clean studio environments to highlight the tactile qualities of high-end denim. Photographer Nicole Maria Winkler captures the collection through a series of vertical frames, employing even natural light to accentuate the structured silhouettes and rich textures of the garments. With fashion editing by Laetitia Leporcq and makeup by Marielle Loubet, the work focuses on layering and coordinated tonal ensembles, ranging from classic workwear to tailored casual wear.
