M Le magazine du Monde

Sep 2025

Captured for M Le magazine du Monde, 'Le Gout de M - Élégante Adolescence' is an expansive fashion editorial that explores themes of youth and transition. Photographer Stef Mitchell utilizes a blend of monochrome and warm color palettes to document a narrative of adolescence, alternating between sterile studio settings and lush, natural outdoor environments. The work leans into a nostalgic, documentary-style aesthetic, often employing analogue film techniques to capture candid, textured interactions across park landscapes and rustic, domestic vignettes. Creative direction by Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone anchors the series, complemented by styling from Charlotte Collet, which contrasts structured tailoring and athletic elements with softer, patterned ensembles. From portraits in bright, high-key studio spaces to observational shots set against wooded riverbanks and vintage trailers, the project captures the varied moods of its subjects through a clean, observational lens.
