About

For Numéro France, the Manhattan project serves as a compelling study in urban tension, weaving the grit of metropolitan life into the rarefied world of high-fashion editorial. Through the lens of photographer Anthony Arquier, the series transcends traditional portraiture, capturing an atmospheric narrative that leans into a cinematic, noir-inspired aesthetic. The project utilizes high-contrast black and white imagery, masterfully employing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to isolate the sharp, structured silhouettes of luxury tailoring against the chaotic blur of New York City streets. Working alongside fashion editor and stylist Rebecca Bleynie, Arquier creates a visual dialogue where textured bouclé jackets, voluminous feathers, and precise leather tailoring become extensions of the city’s complex architecture. Model Diana Skowron anchors this stylistic exploration, transitioning seamlessly between candid lifestyle shots and minimalist studio portraits that highlight the tactile quality of the garments. With the grooming artistry of hair stylist Annesofie Begtrup and makeup artist Megumi Itano providing a polished yet raw finish, the imagery channels a sophisticated journalistic edge. By integrating techniques such as analogue film aesthetics with a clean, editorial minimalism, the Manhattan project reads as both a love letter to the timeless allure of New York and a rigorous exercise in modern luxury fashion photography, successfully balancing gritty documentary elements with the pristine focus required by a legacy publication.
