Madame Figaro

Apr 2026

In a brilliant homage to the cinematic allure of high fashion, Madame Figaro presents The Devil Wears Prada, a sophisticated fashion editorial that captures the intersection of corporate power and sartorial elegance. Through the lens of photographer Esther Haase, the series leans into a polished, high-contrast aesthetic that feels both timeless and distinctly urban. Model Sylke Golding anchors the project with a poised, authoritative demeanor, embodying an iconic character study that moves seamlessly from the front row of a runway show to the quiet intensity of a busy office. The project utilizes natural light to emphasize the crisp, luxurious textures of tailored blazers, structured tweed, and patent leather, while the overall visual narrative channels a sharp, professional sensibility. Stylist Agnes Poulle curates a wardrobe that balances rigid silhouettes with delicate gold accents, creating a look that is unmistakably editorial in its attention to detail. Supported by the precise hairstyling of Jean-Luc Amarin and the refined makeup artistry of Tatsu Yamanaka, the portraits lean into a minimalist yet opulent vibe. By combining cinematic framing with the deliberate, clean lines of corporate life, the imagery transcends simple portraiture to become a rich exploration of style. This series stands as a testament to the power of deliberate creative direction, utilizing live-action techniques to breathe life into the storied atmosphere of the fashion industry.
