CASE 2

LUXE OBSCUR

A dark-luxury series shot at dawn in the Jardin des Tuileries.

Context

Self-initiated editorial, Paris, March 2026. A team of ten, a styling partner and a jewellery house. Accepted by Artells Magazine, print, September–October 2026.

Brief

Turn a classical Paris garden into a stage for structured black silhouettes - sculptural presence rather than a fashion story.

Direction

Dark luxury: the architecture of the body, black texture, metallic and glossy finishes, a gothic phantasmagoria kept disciplined. Shot at dawn, when the park is still silent and almost empty. Structured black against the softness of the garden and the geometry of its alleys. The attitude is a sombre, timeless nobility - bodies almost statuary, between movement, tension and stillness.

Process

Intention note and moodboard, styling and accessories selection, make-up and nails direction, location scouting at the Tuileries, a dawn call with the full team, backstage filmed throughout.
