M Le magazine du Monde

Sep 2025

This feature for M Le magazine du Monde provides an intimate look at the world of designer Yohji Yamamoto. Through a series of editorial portraits and candid backstage documentation, the coverage explores both the technical precision of Yamamoto's latest collection and the atmospheric reality of the fashion week environment. Photographer Lee Whittaker captures the project with a blend of raw documentary techniques and sharp editorial framing. The imagery shifts between the high-contrast intensity of direct flash on textile-heavy looks and the soft, natural light of intimate portraiture, utilising an analogue film aesthetic that leans into the nostalgic, tactile qualities of the designer's work.
