When illustration and fashion become a duo: the result is Modorama Homme for Le Nouvel Obs, created by Sophie Fontanel and Céline Duong, shot by Marine Giraudo, and illustrated by Damien Florébert Cuypers.

A rich work, in which Joseph Perrier is depicted in a pop and elegant way. A poster that will be handed down from generation to generation, until the next celebration.
