On 31 October 2026, before heading to the Halloween party at Twiga Monaco, Elisabetta Franchi met Jeremy Jakubowicz at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo for a private shoot. The designer conceived and made her costume to measure with her teams: a fitted black gown with a plunging neckline, embroidered in a diamond pattern and opening into a long, lavish train, beneath a tall black spiked crown trailing long fringes. An imposing Bulgari serpent necklace lights up the silhouette.

On 29 March 2025, as night fell, Jeremy Jakubowicz photographed Elisabetta Franchi in a suite at the Hôtel Hermitage, its balcony overlooking Monaco in lights. A long black gown with an embroidered bodice, closed at the back by a large ivory bow whose train slides across the parquet: the shoot moves from the balcony to the bed, then ends in the corridor, in a tuxedo jacket. On 2 March, the designer had shown her new collection at Milan Fashion Week.
Jeremy Jakubowicz photographs fashion’s celebrities right up to the front row, like Meredith Mickelson before the Mugler show and Teyana Taylor before Chanel’s at Paris Fashion Week, or Naomi Campbell in New York.

Their first shoot took place on the evening of 25 July 2024, at the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo. In a white blouse with a bow tie and a long slit black skirt, a black-and-white silhouette inspired by the tuxedo, Elisabetta Franchi poses on a terrace between palm trees and balustrades, at the top of the stairs, before the revolving door, then in the forecourt where the cars wait, in the last light of the day.
In Monaco, Jeremy Jakubowicz also covered the Vanity Fair party.
