Alexa Chung attends the "Emilia Perez" Red Carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 18, 2024 in Cannes, France.

"A few hours before their concert at the Hammersmith Apollo, around 5 p.m.. The first day I met Miles Kane for a photo shoot, he offered to photograph him with Alex Turner when they came back together in Paris. It was finally in London, 4 months later, that we found ourselves on the day of their concert at the Hammersmith Apollo. My objective was simple: to photograph their complicity, their personality, their poetry. I then asked them to chat among themselves and to forget about me. I have already taken photos with Miles several times and it was very easy and very natural for him not to pay attention to me; then Alex often looked at me. I am quite disturbed by the fact that the day fell so quickly and it seems to me that it is Miles, much more than myself, who will have, through his involvement, his naturalness and his enthusiasm, given shape to our session photo."

I was completely obsessed by the Rascals' first album, from the first listen, then by the personality, the spirit, the enthusiasm, the laughter and the accent of Miles Kane. I immediately thought of him for my exhibition, and although he doesn't usually take photos without his band, he agreed that we’ll do a session together. This portrait was taken in the hotel garden. Miles then suggested that I continue the session and we took more photos along the Canal Saint Martin. If I had to remember just one meeting, just one artist this year, it would be him.

1) “an attempt to extract the truth... approximately" *cue rosepetals and intense eye contact*

2) THIS being the opening shot of the two of them

3) miles legitimately spending the first minute of the entire video blatantly checking alex out

4) literal rainbow lighting around them

5) endless hand holding and twirling

6) that moment where miles's hand reaches ever so reflexively for alex's neck

7) the fucking closing scene?????????
