Description

La penseuse is a fashion editorial series produced for Les Echos. The project features model Berit Heitmann in a collection of sophisticated garments, captured within architectural environments defined by classical moldings and ornate structural details. Under the art direction of Giorgio Martinoli, the imagery leans into a refined, clean aesthetic that highlights sculptural silhouettes and high-end fashion styling. Photographer Mel Karch documents the narrative through a lens that emphasizes sharp visual contrast and thoughtful compositions. Fashion styling by Nora Bordjah integrates texture and formal tailoring, while hair styling by Vi Sapyyapy and makeup artistry by Steven Canavan provide a polished finish to each look. Casting for the editorial was managed by Coco Liscia, with several images utilizing monochrome palettes and analogue film techniques to create an understated, atmospheric quality.
