EDITORIAL “creatively hungry” All I can say is that I am more than satisfied with this 2019/2020 school year. I learned so much during this year, starting with things about myself. I saw myself not letting go of the difficulties (and this was undoubtedly the most difficult thing.), developing a universe which is specific to me and fascinates me, by combining photography, music, cinema and of course fashion. Even if 2020 will undoubtedly be marked forever by the trace of the coronavirus, I think that the best years are coming for fashion, but also the world in general (even if it will not be right away). I think everyone has realized that the world has to change. I want to be part of this "new wave". Those who want to change things the right way. There is so much to do and imagine, I can't wait to go further. This is why I decided to choose "creatively hungry" as the quote for this magazine. I hope you enjoy. It is everything I love, it’s is me. See you soon for a 3rd year which I hope will be exciting and full of challenges. QUENTIN ALEXIS MORAIS

My parents, for having followed me and allowing me to realize my craziest projects and dreams. My teachers, for having understood me and allowed me to understand myself, to motivate me when I wanted to give up and who allowed me to learn things every day with so much passion.

Regarding his knack for fashion photography, Gilden said, “Look, I’ve been married three times. I have a flair for textiles. It’s just something innate, when you have an eye for something. I don’t know why. I’m a visual person, and I read a lot. I’m also, if I may say so myself, street smart. But I guess the visual side of my brain is much more developed than the other side.” “I never understood why I don’t get hired for more fashion jobs, because I’m ‘the real McCoy.’ I can do this and most people can’t. They’re coming out of the frame,” he said. “To get one good picture, anyone could pick up a camera and say, ‘OK.’ But to get pictures that are very good consistently, is very hard.” Gilden said about Alessandro Michele, “I like his choice of models. They’re not your average person. I found it better than I expected. There was a certain kind of people that I wouldn’t judge as being a model.”

An Iconic street photographer with a unique style, Bruce Gilden was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1946. He first went to Penn State University but he found his sociology courses too boring for his temperament and he quit college. Gilden briefly toyed with the idea of being an actor but in 1967, he decided to buy a camera and to become a photographer. Although he did attend some evening classes at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Bruce Gilden is to be considered substantially a self-taught photographer. Right from childhood, he has always been fascinated by the life on the streets and the complicated and fascinating motion it involves, and this was the spark that inspired his first long-term personal projects, photographing in Coney Island and then during the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The photographic style of Bruce Gilden is defined by the dynamic accent of his pictures, his special graphic qualities, and his original and direct manner of shooting the faces of passers-by with a flash. Gilden’s powerful images in black and white and now in color have brought the Magnum photographer worldwide fame. Bruce Gilden joined Magnum Photos in 1998. He lives in Beacon, New York.

Since he’s properly stuck indoors, he can’t use a telephoto lens to take pictures from a safe distance, and he’s not a drone photographer either. Instead, he’s simply hopping onto a FaceTime call with his model friends, directing them, and taking screenshots whenever he sees a frame that he likes. Despite the abysmal quality of the webcams on even the newest laptops, some of the results are quite good and very clearly captured by someone who knows how to pose and direct a proper editorial photo shoot for a magazine. Albi also want to try and communicate the importance of staying in contact even at distance during this time, without thinking that we are wasting time and trying to make good use of it. So he decided to reach out to a few models that he’s gotten to know over the course of his career and see if they would be willing to try something a little different. This is, quite possibly, the ultimate “pro photographer, cheap camera” challenge. Albi usually shoot on Nikon d850 and prime lenses, but he always try to point out that the gear doesn’t really make the difference. Whatever gear you have handy (in this case a simple webcam) works if you know what you’re doing. Hopefully these photos prove that point, while encouraging other photographers to keep creating even if their subject is hundreds of miles away.

Alessio Albi, is a 29 years old photographer from Perugia, Italy. He’s mainly involved in portrait photography, storytelling, advertising and book/cd covers. Albi started taking photos at the age of 24; coming from drawing and painting, He’s first approach to photography was pretty natural and easy.He also got a degree in Medical Biotechnologies and work as a nutritionist. Rather than taking an ordinary portrait, the photographer utilizes the quirksand distinguishing features of each unique setting to add an interesting aesthetic within the frame. Before viewers' eyes, an ordinary fence becomes a vital piece of his visual puzzle, casting a distinct shadow across his model's face. To incorporate additional drama in his photographs, the artist uses various elements of nature — grass, plants, trees, and wildflowers — to create an improvised shadow, silhouette, or frame. While his model's faces are partly obscured by any given element in each respective shot, Albi makes it so each shot offers a unique way of hiding and revealing his beautiful subject. This impressive technique is the cameraman's way of adding an additional creative dimension to his work. Albi also believes that a woman's long, colorful hair can work as an extra prop on a shoot. He utilizes the ability of each strand to swerve, curl, and wrap around their faces, like an organic frame. Despite his penchant for visual drama, the gifted artist never overdoes it. His portraits appear simple and refined, yet intriguing at the same time. The women in his shots are not merely pretty faces. They add value to each portrait through the emotions they convey.

BIOGRAPHY
Growing up with one finger on the shutter, Gray Sorrenti – daughter of legendary photographer Mario Sorrenti and artist Mary Frey – has emerged in the pop of a flashbulb as a skilled imagemaker in her own right. Sorrenti trains her lens on her group of friends, metabolising the downtown cool of skater brother Arsun and her other mates after the last ding of the high-school bell. “I’m surrounded by such an amazing group of people,” she told Dazed. Her work translates into crisp, contrast-heavy work that doesn’t rely on technique so much as it does intuition. When expert photography runs in your blood, you have no choice but to donate. While her images are a far cry from the polished mandate set forth by her dad in magazines like Vogue, she does acknowledge his influence. “He’s been there for me 24/7 and has helped me with everything I’ve ever done,” she says. “Of course, our styles are similar, but I haven’t thought about (them) being the same because it’s not a conscious thing. I don’t think about it, ever. My dad has his own set style, and I’m still figuring mine out.”

As the winter season dawns, fashion brands and designers are starting to unveil advertising campaigns for their spring/summer collections, rolling out in the coming weeks. Isabel Marant, for example, has entrusted the internationally renowned photographer, Juergen Teller, with the season's campaign, featuring an all-star cast. The first photos, shared on the label's Instagram page, feature three models who are very much in vogue, often seen walking the runways of New York, London, Milan and Paris. They are Rebecca Leigh and Jonas Glรถer, who can all be seen posing outdoors between the sand and the blue sky.

BIOGRAPHY
German artist and fashion photographer, Juergen Teller was born on 28th January 1964. He is one of the most eminent photographers of his generation and successfully operates both in the commercial photography world and the art world. He studied at Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich, Germany from 1984 to 1986. When he was 22, he shifted to London. Teller utilizes an over-exposed, raw style and uses a Contax G2 camera. He likes working in color, and frequently does self-photography. Instead of saturating colors and bleeding images, Teller uses unprocessed flash that blasts his subjects and keeps colors soft and muted. His fashion photographs have been published in Another Magazine, Vogue, W Magazine, Self Service, Purple, The Face, i-D, Details, 032c and various other publications. Teller worked with various fashion houses and designers for years, including Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood and Helmet Lang. He also recurrently works with Björk, musician. Furthermore, he has worked with renowned names in the fashion industry, Sofia Coppola, Kate Moss, Winona Ryder, Rufus Wainwright and many others. In Teller’s work, there is no line between fashion and art. He is a photographer who brings these two world’s together and displays them as one. This duality is reproduced in all his works. At one hand, he showcases nudity, celebrities and humor and on the other hand, Teller is the artist – displaying introspective and subtle works. It is difficult to predict Teller’s work, since he always creates something unexpected. All his subjects come together in astonishing poses and different intensities of emotions are reflected in each of his photograph. Teller aims to tell a story in all the pictures he takes. His work has given him a distinctive appeal and recognition worldwide among artists, fashion designers, commercial industries, musicians and art lovers in generals.

If it weren’t for the Instagram-friendliness of it all, it could be a scene out of the 1990s. That is of course Anthony Vaccarello’s formative decade; at least the early part of it when his fetish for long-legged, skimpy-shorts-wearing supermodels was being cultivated. His heart must have palpitated when Naomi Campbell – she of Fabien Baron’s "Erotica" and Herb Ritts’ "In the Closet" videos – closed his show in a sequined black tuxedo, lit up by a sparkly Eiffel Tower. “I really wanted to pay homage to Le Smoking and the tuxedo, to say, ‘This is the house of the tuxedo. If you need a tuxedo you have to come to Saint Laurent because otherwise it’s a fake tuxedo’,” Vaccarello said, always up for some competitive Parisian showmanship. “So, to start with, the idea was that finale.” True to tradition, he finished his show with an eveningwear segment, this time centred on Le Smoking and predominantly sequined. “I wanted to bring something heavier, like a heavy summer with heavy embroidery, heavy colours, heavy gold. I really wanted to give another aspect of summer.” You could sense the Opium in some of the gilded glamour looks that made up the first part of the show: ultra-opulence by way of Yves Saint Laurent’s legacy, which Vaccarello references profusely, this time by means of the Russian collection from 1976 and the master’s sailor influences from the early 1960s. But this didn’t feel like a themed collection. Bathed in the dancing floor lights that built a cathedral of beams over the outdoor space blacked out by Parisian evening, Vaccarello’s largely black collection – perhaps paradoxically – didn’t feel like an attempt to create something avant-garde or reinventive. Joining the ranks of many others this season, it was an exercise in wardrobe essentials the Saint Laurent way. Bar the mini shorts, most of Vaccarello’s black pieces had a trendless quality to them that went hand-in-hand with an increasing fashion industry appetite for moderation. As illustrated in a cast that included women like Freja Beha Erichsen, Stella Tennant, Liya Kebede and of course Campbell, timelessness was in the air (general 1990s fashion atmosphere aside).

CELINE
The quarantined photographer Why do the ‘60s and 70s keep coming up in this season’s collections ? For Hedi Slimane, the subject is less a matter of tacking the current Socio-political zeitgeist than staying true to what he’s always done.

This Celine collection was home territory for the designer, and he systematically focused on making a wardrobe, bootcut jean by bootcut jean, blazer by blazer, pleated silk dress by culotte by aviator sunglass and hippy jacket. For Spring, Slimane took the theme back to circa 1974, when Celine was a destination store for the discreet French bourgeoisie, selling such things as silk separates, horse-bitdecorated bags and shoes. All of these were present and correct, expanded into a repertoire which touched streetwear at one level, and glittering gold lamÊ and embroidered dresses at the other. The point is that Parisian girls were the envy of the world, with all their nonchalance and undone hair, and their ability to tie a scarf. Slimane’s merchandising and image-making strengths make it as much about capitalizing on that picture in a globalized world as it is about fashion itself. Many have followed in his footsteps, but there’s no rival to his forensic, granular knowledge of how to make every element play its part.

No matter the weather, the fantasy of a permanent vacation is never too far away at Isabel Marant. Though rain clouds hovered over her show tonight, the vibe of the new collection was especially hot, with denim short shorts that were cheeky in every sense. It’s a leggy look that’s been rapidly gaining traction in Paris this week, starting with Saint Laurent. And when you consider that France experienced record high temperatures this past summer, with not one but two heat waves, it’s not especially surprising. Marant seemed to be summoning a style-savvy festival girl for Spring, at least in the silhouette. That said, the details were a lot more considered than anything you’d find at Coachella—for one thing, her shorts had artfully scalloped edges. The designer knows her way around a good festival boot, and her slouchy Southwestern pairs were a no-brainer, though it would be hard to imagine revelers teetering around on her classic stiletto-heel sandals all day, even if the ankle bracelets that adorned them had a universal appeal. Marant has perfected the art of the slouchy denim pant, formerly known as the boyfriend jean. With an extra-long inseam, the new, slightly flared style was a nice evolution of the classic peg leg she’s been working for a while. What’s more, it looked just as good on the boys as it did the girls. Marant has cultivated an eternal youthful spirit at her brand, though this season she proved there’s no age limit on that aesthetic. In addition to bombshell Irina Shayk and runway vet Amber Valletta, 46-year-old ’90s supermodel Eva Herzigova made an appearance in one of Marant’s sexy deep-V jumpsuits (and not a Wonderbra in sight!). Models Elsa Hosk and Jourdan Dunn could barely contain their excitement as they cheered from the front row. Still, nobody rocks the look better than Marant herself. She came out to take a bow with her silvery hair swept into a neat bun, dressed in slim gray jeans and a puff-sleeve beige denim jacket, forever the coolest French girl in the room.

Adèle Farine has art in her veins. Her father a photographer, her grandmother a painter and her mother an architect, she is artist by nature, now spreading her wings into modelling and acting. While she prepares for her first Parisian exhibition, she is also packing her bags for a fresh start in New York. At just 21-years-old, Adèle is already painter, model and actress. Ready to leave Paris - “I know it too well now; my next destination is New York” – this girl from the 9th arrondissement, whose modeling has made her a well-known face in the French capital, is easily restless. She was spotted on a pavement café, and agreed to model part time. It was both her grandmother and her mother who gave her an initial taste for style. They taught her that style is a question of presentation and posture. She spends her spare minutes drawing playful scenes, but despite a string of fashion campaigns to her name, she refuses to be labeled as à la mode. A curious blend of boyish and babydoll, a style that she makes her own : menswear blazers with massive shoulders, vintage white shirts worn as dresses, Claudine collars and Dr. Martens. For Adèle, clothes lead to unexpected encounters, they act as a way to embody dream characters, like this dark, long haired, ebony eyed figure that she pictures in her head. And she can accessorize like no other, her waxed yellow bucket hat coming first to mind – she has a minor obsession with rainwear. So naturally her dream holiday would be on Oléron island: “crepes, cider, mussel fishing and crabs on the rocks…”

Kaia Gerber has been in the spotlight her whole life as the daughter of genre-defining supermodel Cindy Crawford, but these days, the 18-year-old model and actor—who’s worked with designers from Marc Jacobs to Raf Simons and Silvia Venturini Fendi, and won the coveted Model of the Year honor at the 2018 Fashion Awards—is attracting more attention than ever. Gerber is really into tattoos. In January, she added two pieces of body art to her extensive collection: a female torso and a group of flowers. She also boasts a red heart, an angel on her ribcage, a struck-through “I Know” on her wrist, and the number 23 above her elbow, to name a few; all of her tattoos are small and minimalist in design, and she’s said that each one is “a memory.” “For most of my life, I’ve been the youngest person in the room—oftentimes I still am,”. But she’s totally fine with that. As she jokingly said, “I’ve literally always been a 40-year-old woman in a child’s body. From when I was five, I would always hang out with my parents and their friends, so I get along with 50-year-olds perfectly.” It probably helps that she and her famed mom are extremely close: “I always love going back and looking at photos of my mom when she was closer to my age. You can’t deny that we have similarities. And I’ve always tried to be more like her. I’ve always looked up to her in the way that she hasn’t let anything in the business affect her. In my eyes, she’s the coolest, nicest person in the world. And I understand that she’s ‘my mom,’ but we’ve actually become really good friends.” She’s not afraid to borrow from the boys, and one in particular: her brother, Presley, 20, who is also a model and has walked for Ralph Lauren, Prabal Gurung, and Sies Marjan, among others. “Presley has really good sweatshirts. Not like Yeezy sweatshirts or anything, but they’re just really good and worn in. And since he’s bigger than me, they’re really oversized, which I love with skinny jeans. He’ll say, ‘Kaia, have you seen my stuff?’ And I’m like, ‘Nope, guess you just left it somewhere.’ Then I’ll literally be wearing it the next day, and I’m really bad at covering for myself. I’ll be like, ‘What are you talking about? This is mine!’ And then I can’t stop laughing,” Gerber told ELLE. Supermodels, they’re just like us: They sometimes steal clothing from their siblings too.

Most things that director Larry Clark touches turn to gold. Kids (1995) has been mythologised far beyond its 20 years, richocheting through youth culture the world over and birthing the ‘coolest girl in the world’, Chloë Sevigny. But to boil all the cult director’s success down to just one man only does an injustice to the natural star quality of the street cast ‘kids’ that the director comes across. French actor-turned-musician and model Lukas Ionesco might have been cast as Math for the director’s 2014 film The Smell of Us but, as he has proved since with his subsequent success, he doesn’t actually need or want Clark’s Midas touch. What had at first seemed like a teen dream had, by the final stages of filming, turned sour when, not long before they wrapped, the director decided to drop some of the cast members and change parts of the script – namely, Ionesco’s ‘foot fetish’ scene, where he sees his feet licked by Clark himself. Still reeling from the last-minute changes, Ionesco let fly at Clark in an interview with French website Les Inrocks, replying “Fuck you” when asked what he’d say to the director if he saw him again. Onwards and upwards for the young Frenchman, though, because his star hasn’t faltered for a moment. In fact, Ionesco – grandson of photographer Irina – has since turned his back on film, instead choosing to focus on music with his band Diaperpin. Recently, he was shot by photographer David Ledoux, who first captured him for Dazed’s spring/ summer 2014 issue alongside other cast members from Clark’s Parisian teen-skate flick, and calls Ionesco “creatively hungry”. Ledoux tells us, “(The Smell of Us) was his first feature film, he was 18 and it kind of left him with a bitter taste. He was emotionally exhausted.”

These past two and a half years, Timothée Chalamet has created more buzz than actors who have been in the business for decades. It all started in 2017, with his Oscar-nominated role as Elio Perlman in Call Me by Your Name. He has been one of the most talked about people in Hollywood. His success is even being compared to that of a young Leonardo DiCaprio. His oncamera likable personality reflects his real life charm. He is extremely relatable and down to earth compared to other actors. He acted in a couple of short films and a couple of TV series, but his first notable role was as Finn Walden in the 2012 drama tv series Homeland. In 2014, he played Cooper’s (Matthew McConaughey’s) son Tom in the sci-fi/drama film Interstellar. In 2016, he starred as Billy in Miss Stevens, an indie film about a high school English teacher who takes her three students to compete in a drama competition. He won 19 awards and was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice, and a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award. His career only skyrocketed from here. At the same time as Call Me by Your Name, he got praise for his supporting role as Kyle in Greta Gerwig’s comedy/drama masterpiece Lady Bird. He then portrayed Nicholas Sheff in Beautiful Boy, a promising young adult who seemed to have his life in order, only for it to be thrown upside down when he becomes addicted to meth. This also garnered him a nomination for a Golden Globe. In his most recent role, he starred as Hal, King Henry V in The King, which was released Nov. 1 to Netflix. With Chalamet’s middle name being Hal, it would’ve been hard to pass up such a role. His Agincourt speech is one of the best monologues Chalamet has done in his career so far, screaming such powerful and moving words to hundreds of his men right before battle. His upcoming roles include Theodore ‘Laurie’ Laurence in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, Paul Atriedes in the sci-fi film Dune, and Zeffirelli in The French Dispatch, which is a comedy/ drama film about journalists in France written and directed by Wes Anderson. He is easily one of the best actors of our generation and is paving the way for many young actors to come. His future is only going to get brighter from here.

An up-and-coming photographer, Beckham – who has shot for Burberry Brit, BMW and Sir David Attenborough in the past – like any young man, is evolving beyond the arty, vignette images he posts to his Instagram feed. “I like the idea of taking it further,” Beckham says. The photographer also happens to be one of the most photographed humans in the world. Beckham’s first job was working in a French café in London when he was 15 years old. “I worked there for two years and helped with the food and made coffees on weekends. I loved it,” he remembers. After spending years lacing up his footy boots, lots of people thought he might look to football as a career. But Beckham – keen to tread his own path – turned to photography. “I always loved football – I always will love football and I love playing it – but I wanted to make my own career path because I fell in love with photography. My dad bought me my first Fuji film about six years ago. I fell for the camera, it was so easy to use. I just started taking pictures all the time, wherever I went, and began posting them on Instagram. People liked them and it all just started from there. I’ve never been happier doing anything else than when I have a camera in my hand. Getting to know people when I photograph them is the coolest thing. I never want to let it go.” Beckham headed for New York City in 2017 where he attended the prestigious Parsons University to study photography. In 2018, he decided to defer his four-year course and return to London to focus his energies on internships with photographers such as Nick Knight and Rankin. But he’s not done with the concrete jungle just yet. “When I moved to New York, it was amazing. I loved it, it’s where I want to be based when I’m a bit older and I’d like to start a family there,” he says. “I’ve always been in love with New York. Everywhere you go, there’s interesting people, interesting places to take pictures, the food is great – I’m a very big food guy. You need to try a pizza restaurant in Brooklyn called Lucali.” Aside from being one of the most well-spoken young individuals, Beckham is as down-to-earth as they come. He’s a hard worker. He’s curious. He’s inquisitive. He knows what he likes. He knows what he doesn’t. He’s nice. Ultimately, Beckham wanted to push himself creatively; he wanted to experiment and he wanted to learn.
