Vogue France’s September issue is a celebration of femininity and sensual liberation. Inspired by Audrey Diwan’s reimagining of the iconic erotic film ‘Emmanuelle,’ the issue takes a bold stance on the role of eroticism in a post-#MeToo world.
Diwan’s ‘Emmanuelle’ reinterprets the original, introducing a powerful female gaze and empowering the character of Emmanuelle, played by the captivating Noémie Merlant. The issue explores the question of how eroticism can be embraced in a modern context, and how the female perspective can redefine what it means to be seductive.
Beyond its exploration of sensuality, the issue serves as a powerful fashion statement. Photographer Steven Meisel and stylist Marie-Amélie Sauvé translate the essence of ‘Emmanuelle’ into a contemporary fashion narrative. Divine Vivienne Rohner embodies this new vision, wearing ambiguous and sublime pieces that resonate with the spirit of the issue.
Vogue France’s September issue invites readers to embrace a gentle return to work, marked by a sense of romanticism and tenderness. It advocates for a femininity that is both empowered and embracing of the seductive power of the female form.
The September 2024 issue of Vogue France will be available online and in stores starting August 22.
