🌺 La Queer Palm 2026 s’affiche «Ericka a changé ma vie. Quand j’étais enfant à l’île de la Réunion, je traînais beaucoup en quête de mon histoire, je me sentais souvent seule et perdue. Un jour, j’ai rencontré une légende. J’avais 8 ans et j’étais en quête d’identité, de choses qui allaient me marquer pour le reste de ma vie, dont je pourrais toujours me nourrir et qui me remettraient toujours dans le droit chemin. Ericka est une pionnière de l’histoire LGBTQIA+ de l’île de la Réunion. C’est ma marraine la bonne fée qui, par sa flamboyance, a fait grandir un enfant heureux. J’ai choisi de la photographier avec sa magie, comme celle de mon île, qui ont toutes les deux bouleversé mes sens.» — Raya Martigny Kwir Nou Éxist explore la construction de la jeune communauté queer réunionnaise, son lien au territoire insulaire et aux existences qui l’ont précédée. Mené pendant cinq ans par Raya Martigny et Édouard Richard, le projet mêle photographie, archives et vidéo. Rendez-vous à Cannes du 13 au 23 mai 2026☀️ 📷 photographie @rayamartigny Projet avec @edward_wichard Merci @albansen & @theofontaine__ ✦ 🌺 Queer Palm 2026 reveals its poster «Ericka changed my life. When I was a child on the island of Réunion, I wandered a lot in search of my story — I often felt alone and lost. One day, I met a legend. I was 8 years old, searching for an identity, for things that would mark me for the rest of my life, that I could always draw from and that would always set me back on the right path. Ericka is a pioneer of LGBTQIA+ history on the island of Réunion. She is my fairy godmother who, through her flamboyance, raised a happy child. I chose to photograph her in all her magic, like my island’s own, both of which have overwhelmed my senses.» — Raya Martigny Kwir Nou Éxist explores the emergence of Réunion’s young queer community, its bond to the island’s territory and to the lives that came before it. Developed over five years by Raya Martigny and Édouard Richard, the project weaves together photography, archives and video. See you in Cannes, May 13–23, 2026☀️ 📷 photography @rayamartigny Project with @edward_wichard Thanks @albansen & @theofontaine__

COVER GIRL For ACNE PAPER – 20th Anniversary Edition LUX ET TENEBRAE Twelve years ago in Lisbon, I had a conversation with Thomas. I was young, full of ideas and ambition. He was working as the creative director of L’uomo vogue, and I had the audacity to pitch him a vision. That idea led me to be photographed by Paolo Roversi himself. The shoot was magical. The images, unforgettable. But the world wasn’t ready. Not yet ready to feature a trans woman in a suit, embracing her masculine side. Not ready to open a conversation about multiplicity, fluidity, and freedom. The idea came too soon — and failed. Today: A full-circle moment. Thomas reached out months ago, and we decided to create something together again. This time, he wanted to celebrate me — and gave me the space to choose the team. When Szilveszter and Lisa said yes, I knew something special was about to happen. We had no idea it would become the cover. But now, it all makes perfect sense. My favorite shoot ever. Dreams take time — don’t rush them. This one took 10 years to bloom. Endless gratitude to my dear friend @thomasperssonstudio To @acnestudios team and #jonnyjohansson To every cultural magazine that believes in artists and gives them room to grow.

“There is nothing more sincere than what comes from deep within oneself and becomes universal.” In an increasingly artificial and hostile world, Raya Martigny @rayamartigny holds onto authenticity like it’s non-negotiable — not as an aesthetic, but as a necessity. Throughout her career in modelling and her photography practice, Martigny is guided by a deep sense of humanity and a desire to document her story and that of the queer community. In the middle of a hectic fashion week, we took the time to slow down and discuss the gap between online visibility and lived reality, and navigating daily violence, identity, and survival as a trans woman today. _ Raya is wearing @maisonvalentino on the cover.
