Marie Claire Czech Republic

Apr 2026

The April issue of Marie Claire Czech Republic captures the duality of contemporary high-fashion through a pair of striking covers that balance ornate maximalism with effortless, modern ease. Under the lens of photographer Gregory Derkenne, the imagery leans into a polished editorial aesthetic, utilizing crisp studio strobe lighting to emphasize the tactile quality of the wardrobe. The editorial curation, spearheaded by fashion editor and stylist Chloé Dugast, highlights a diverse visual narrative. In one instance, the composition feels rooted in opulent craftsmanship, showcasing a high-necked garment defined by intricate, multi-colored floral embroidery, beadwork, and sequins that demand attention. This gives way to a secondary, more relaxed portrait where model Kate van Berne adopts a neutral gaze, donning distressed denim and lavender textures that feel quintessentially urban. Makeup artist Océane Sitbon provides a clean, refined beauty look that anchors both styles, ensuring the focus remains on the interplay of fabrics and form. The project succeeds in translating the sophisticated DNA of the publication into a cohesive visual language, utilizing bold, structured typography that frames the subjects within a distinctly premium context. By blending the precision of studio photography with nuanced styling choices, these covers serve as a masterclass in the enduring appeal of traditional print media, seamlessly merging decorative couture with approachable fashion sensibilities.
