M Le magazine du Monde: Le Gout de M - Élégante Adolescence

Sep 2025

Le Gout de M – Élégante Adolescence is an expansive editorial feature for M Le magazine du Monde that explores the nuances of youth culture through a candid, documentary lens. Photographed by Stef Mitchell, the series oscillates between structured studio portraiture and intimate, pastoral narratives set in natural outdoor environments. The project leans into a nostalgic aesthetic, frequently utilizing analogue film to capture subjects in transient, contemplative states—from quiet moments near vintage camper trailers to sun-drenched park landscapes. The visual approach is consistently marked by clean compositions and soft natural light, creating a tactile atmosphere that underscores the styling by Charlotte Collet. With creative direction by Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, the work maintains a cohesive balance between minimalist fashion and authentic, raw human expression. The editorial narrative is further refined by hair stylist Ramona Eschbach and makeup artist Christine Corbel, emphasizing a contemporary, unforced style.
