Félix Lefebvre Steps From French Cinema Into Citizen K Homme

Félix Lefebvre Slips Effortlessly From French Cinema Into Fashion

French actor Félix Lefebvre steps out of character and straight into editorial mode for Citizen K Homme, captured through the lens of photographer Robin Berglund.

And really, the crossover feels rather natural. Lefebvre has the kind of face fashion loves — expressive without working too hard for it, slightly boyish one second and suddenly razor-sharp the next. Here, the actor lets the clothes and Berglund’s camera do the talking.

Lefebvre first broke through internationally with François Ozon’s Summer of 85, playing Alexis opposite Benjamin Voisin. The performance earned him the Lumière Award for Most Promising Actor and a César nomination in the same category — the sort of arrival that instantly put him on the radar well beyond French cinema.

Since then he has kept moving between contemporary drama, period pieces and French auteur cinema, but the appeal here is simpler: put Félix in front of a fashion camera and let the angles happen. Berglund gives him room to shift from soft to severe without the editorial ever feeling overworked.

Scope out the full selection below, with Lefebvre serving the kind of quiet fashion-boy energy that never needs to announce itself too loudly.
