Marie Claire France

Jun 2025

Captured for Marie Claire France, 'La Derniere Ile' is a fashion editorial story that explores raw, coastal aesthetics through an earthy and tactile lens. The project leans into a visceral connection with the landscape, placing model Saffron Vadher against rugged volcanic rock formations, sandy shorelines, and dense forest foliage. Photographer Gleeson Paulino utilizes natural light—ranging from diffused overcast tones to hard, direct sun—to emphasize wet skin textures and organic details. The visual narrative is defined by a grounded, atmospheric approach, incorporating analogue film techniques and a grainy finish to enhance the project's raw quality. The aesthetic is brought together by fashion editor and stylist Jeanne Le Bault, with grooming by hair stylist Tomoko Ohama and makeup artist Tatsu Yamanaka, who complete the series with a natural, sun-kissed finish.
