wow...thanks mimiko...

incredible images...
his styling is always so original and always so cool...

such an inspiration....and also somewhat intimidating...
he's really in a special league that goes beyond fashion imo...

there is so much EMOTION....always some tension...

i just his work...

^ I agree. After Grace Coddington and Carine, he is possibly the greatest stylist working.

i wish he had his own magazine...
i would LOVE to work for him...

He used to! The legendary Joe's Magazine from the mid-90's. It only printed two issues (one in '92, one in '98 I think) and they now cost anywhere from $150-300 per copy. But it was an incredible, beautiful magazine—even though he didn't do all the styling work.

The great stylist Joe McKenna deserves all my respect and admiration. I discovered Joe throughout the 80’s, when his outstanding editorial work was published in Per Lui, Lei, Vanity Fair … At this period he worked most of the time with photographer Bruce Weber.

He is unique, a genius, a truly original!

Today I want to share a picture of Joe done by Weber for Interview Dec 1985.

this should have been an awesome magazine...

just found an article from 1998...

... A 190-page spectacular, it costs GBP 65. It has no title, no cover line, and very few words. It is purple. It is huge (16in x 11in). It is bound. It is glossy. No one is trying to sell you anything in Joe's magazine; nor are they trying to tell you anything. There are no lipstick tips and no boring "how to get your man" articles. Only the pictures matter and they are presented to the best possible effect that printing and technology can provide. It is a portable gallery...

softgrey... could you explain me why you love his work so much? i like his work, i think he's very good too... but it's from a non-professional point of view... and i would like you to explain me... because "i know...you know... well you know what i mean"...... i don't know what you mean...
