M Le magazine du Monde

Aug 2025

Lorde Et Desordres is an editorial portrait feature for M Le magazine du Monde, starring musician Lorde. Photographed and creatively directed by Jean-Baptiste Talbourdet-Napoleone, the series leans into a polished, monochromatic aesthetic that emphasizes structure and high-contrast composition. The images utilize low-key chiaroscuro lighting and soft, directional light to highlight sharp tailoring, rich leather textures, and a deliberate sense of motion. Featuring styling by Virginie Benarroch, the editorial shifts between sleek, minimalist studio portraits and dynamic poses that incorporate long exposure techniques. Hair styling by Matt Benns, makeup by Maud Laceppe, and manicures by Cam Tran provide a clean finish, grounding the project in a refined editorial vernacular that favors tactile detail and clear, direct lines.
