Hotel Balzac Hosts Luxury Paris Photoshoot

1 December 2016

It’s evening in Paris and the streets are bursting with commuters rushing home after the day’s work. For the team at O Magazine, their day’s work has just begun. Armed with a camera and an eclectic collection of clothing, they descend on Hotel Balzac to in an attempt to capture images for their latest editorials.

Romance Au Balzac Photoshoot

Featuring collections from established and up and coming Parisian designers, ‘Romance Au Balzac’ takes you on a trip through time, as its classic designs are reminiscent of Parisian elegance through the ages. The images, shot amongst the classically fitting décor of Hotel Balzac, feature a variety of styles that have graced the French capital in the past. Like the Hotel, the collection can certainly be deemed representative of the ever-changing façade of fashion in Paris. Nonetheless, the collection emits class and luxury and possesses a beguiling demeanour, with the various camera angles assumed by Sarah Mei Chan endorsing the refinement of Kyra Passos splendidly.

Jasmine Photoshoot at Hotel Balzac

‘Jasmine’ instils a touch of the foreign into the classically defined surroundings of Hotel Balzac; as Paris’ multicultural fashion influences are emphasised through the Asian inspired jewellery featured in the collection. Still maintaining an aura of elegance, the editorial moves away from classic designs and instead features empowering, looser fitting garments which could be likened to the influx of a more Bohemian style. With its role as a pleasure palace within Bohemian Paris during the 19^th Century, Hotel Balzac manages to encapsulate the free-spirited character of the ‘Jasmine’ compilation seamlessly; and Claire Pathé and striking model Tanya combine forces exquisitely to compile a fashion shoot reflective of Paris’ rich cultural heritage.
