M Le magazine du Monde

Sep 2026

In the latest editorial spread for M Le magazine du Monde titled Passion Simple, the boundary between high-concept designer fashion and raw, stripped-back portraiture is navigated with clinical precision. This fashion photography project leans into a bold minimalist aesthetic, grounding its visual narrative in the stark contrast of a vibrant yellow seamless backdrop. Captured through the sharp, unforgiving lens of photographer Zoë Ghertner, the imagery utilizes distinct hard light and flash photography to carve out the architectural silhouette of the garments. The styling, curated by Emmanuelle Alt, features a striking double-breasted black leather jacket with exaggerated shoulders, juxtaposed against tailored trousers that incorporate unexpected hip cutouts. This deliberate play on form is further enhanced by the contributions of hair stylist Cyndia Harvey and makeup artist Lucia Pica, who lean into a slick, wet-look texture that complements the model Charlie Jones's grounded performance. By prioritizing clean lines and negative space, the project elevates standard editorial fashion into a rhythmic study of shape and light. The casting, directed by Piergiorgio Del Moro, underscores a modern, composed energy that defines the magazine’s current visual identity. Through the seamless integration of set design by Polly Philp, every element functions as a component of a larger, cohesive graphic language that feels both timeless and aggressively contemporary within the saturated media and entertainment landscape.
