Telegraph Luxury: Crème de la Crème

Nov 2025

Telegraph Luxury's fashion editorial, Crème de la Crème, presents a series of high-fashion portraits set against the classic architectural backdrop of Parisian streets. Through the lens of photographer David Roemer, the project leans into an editorial aesthetic that juxtaposes voluminous couture silhouettes with the gritty texture of urban environments. Stylist Aurelia Donaldson curates a range of avant-garde and textured garments, from feathered headpieces and sheer gowns to tailored velvet suiting. These looks are unified by sleek hair styling by Olivier Lebrun and polished makeup by Tiina Roivainen, with model Beauïse Genç providing a dynamic presence throughout the series. The work makes frequent use of natural light and analogue film techniques, oscillating between crisp monochrome compositions and warm, high-contrast imagery to explore movement and classical European settings.
