Les Hommes Publics: Saudade and Spurs

Jun 2025

Saudade and Spurs is a fashion editorial produced for Les Hommes Publics. Photographed by Max von Treu, the series captures a distinct western-inspired aesthetic, featuring model Virgile Elana across a variety of outdoor and architectural settings. The project leans into documentary and editorial sensibilities, utilizing natural light to highlight textures in leather, denim, and knitwear. The compositions, often presented as diptychs or triptychs, integrate organic animal subjects and rustic settings with structured, patterned tailoring. The imagery adopts an earthy, warm color palette, incorporating analogue film techniques to emphasize a raw, tactile quality throughout the editorial layout.
