Madame Figaro: Metamorphoses

Oct 2026

Madame Figaro explores shifting identities in the fashion editorial project Metamorphoses, featuring French actor Noémie Merlant. Photographed by Thiemo Sander, the series leans into a sharp, minimalist aesthetic, balancing raw intimacy with high-fashion posing across a series of stark studio backdrops. The work uses deliberate color blocking and high-contrast lighting to emphasize textural details in the featured apparel, ranging from plush fur trims to structured leathers. With fashion styling by Cécile Martin and hair styling by Alexandrine Piel, the production captures Merlant in a variety of expressive, dynamic compositions. The project incorporates monochrome techniques and analogue film textures, resulting in a series that highlights sculptural garment lines through a clean, graphic lens.
