It would be great if other photographers were given the chance to shoot the covers and main editorials. I've never been a fan of Meisel. I think it was Grace Mirabella who once said that Meisel is a great fashion photographer because he loves fashion, but he's yet to create his own defining style. I completely agree with her. I will go even further and say although he's a great fashion photographer-- he's not a great photographer. Having been at the top of his game for so long now, I don't feel he's produced any iconic imageries-- not yet anyways. And I think he knows that, since he's never produced a book of his work; either that, or he's an extremely modest and humble man-- which I don't get the impression he is.
I'd love to see Fabien Baron take over Italian Vogue, or someone like him. He has such a tight, defining style, yet there's always variety in his approach.
