yes, that is something i miss a bit in his more recent work. he is getting more sarcastic which i like but the raw quality and insight of his old teenage rebel portraits seem to be gone...

I agree. I think that sarcasm is getting the best of him these days. There really isn't as much poetry in his work as it used to be.

Thanks Brian *slap*

Are you still modelling much,B*? I know you said you had an agency....I might need somebody one of these days...and I love your look! Although,that sounds like typical fashion claptrap,I do mean that genuinely.

He took these for Purple

thanks for posting them! Very cool....you have such a great face.

i'm thinking this guy is really over-hyped...in much the same way marc jacobs is really...so that's a pretty good fit imo...

and that he really isn't as fabulous as he thinks he is...
went to an exhibit of his work last year...and was accosted by a larger than life image of himself stark naked...

it wasn't pretty......

he might have had a certain edge at one point....but i think it's long gone...
i find his current work really uninteresting and flat...
self-indulgent...

Juergen was once a favourite, but he's let me down over the past 4 or so years... the last great work of his I can remember were the Marc by Marc ads and an editorial in W with Tasha Tilberg (both from 2001, I think)

anyway, from his book Go-Sees:

I'm still with an agency but not modeliing really, my measurements have grown quite a lot and no one wants a model with big hips and bum. I used to be 92cm around the hips but I'm 100cm today. But I still find my self skinny, the rib cage is still peeping out and my hip bone aswell though not as much as it did :P I'm out of the market today, but I hope to go back in the market as a designer

an example of earlier(1994) work that i particularly like:


softgrey i know the kind of pictures your talking about, that's why i said he's becoming very sarcastic, even cynical sometimes. at the same time this is very ambivalent because in my opinion he is making money with something he strives to exposure.
