“LE DUEL” Fashion Film for STORY TIME issue 8

Le Duel is a fashion film drama that turns style into storytelling. In this cinematic editorial, love sparks, then fractures. Betrayal follows, and anger takes the frame. Finally, death and regret close the loop, leaving the viewer with the feeling of a beautiful wound. If you want the full narrative, you can find it in IRK Magazine issue 8, “Story Time.”

A fashion film built like a thriller

Le Duel fashion film plays like a modern duel of emotions. First, tension rises through controlled movement and charged stillness. Then the drama escalates through looks that feel like armour, seduction, and surrender. Because every scene is designed as a turning point, the wardrobe does more than dress the models. It reveals motive.

French Cowboy, the creative duo of Mia Macfarlane and Julien Crouigneau, directs and photographs with a sharp, cinematic eye. Meanwhile, Gilar Farjah shapes the pace through filming and editing, guiding the story from intimacy to rupture.

Cast, beauty, and the Chateau Bouffémont setting

The models in Le Duel Nadine and Jade at Elite bring contrast and chemistry, which drives the plot forward. In addition, the soundscape by Omid Djoudi adds urgency and melancholy. Overall Beauty details stay luminous yet precise with makeup by Glossy Ruby and hair by Ludovic Dupuis. YSL Beauty supports the beauty direction with makeup and Top Secrets skincare.

Producer and assistant stylist Mariann Mugra supports the set flow, while assistant photographer Julien Besson strengthens the visual production. particularly the styling by Julien Crouigneau and Mia Macfarlane ties every character beat to a fashion statement.
