Madame Figaro explores the visual language of classic rail travel in this fashion editorial titled ORIENT EXPRESS. Captured by photographer PA Hüe de Fontenay, the series features model Josephine Le Tutour within the confined, opulent interiors of a luxury train carriage.
The project leans into a cinematic, moody aesthetic, utilizing warm interior lighting and low-key chiaroscuro techniques to highlight rich wood paneling and varied fabric textures. Featuring styling by Cécile Martin, hair by Paolo Ferreira, and makeup by Lloyd Simmonds, the editorial employs elements like motion blur and analogue film textures to build a narrative journey across the set of portraits.
