A bit off-topic but back when he was a model, EJG was also a Meisel fave right? I remembered him being shot by Meisel on some occasions

Wow, those hands remind me so much of a VI ed by Meisel with Sasha and Snejana.

He also have a VI cover with Amanda Murphy, and other along a group of models! Maybe he was always a fan. Meisel said he as a kid used to look very close to Avedon and Penn in his mother mags. Let's not forget before SM, this pair inspired him. Meisel eds for British Vogue were a non-stop Avedon tribute. But it wasn't only like that. At VI he was pretty original as well an create such a universe not even ETJ can recreate. I don't imagine him doing an 80 pages story of models doing plastic surgery or in rehab like the master.

Yes, him and Yuri were his comfort zone boys during those years.

Vogue could never. Absolutely loving this, easily one of the best covers/fashion shoots I've come across this whole entire month. Wonderful to see Agyness Deyn and I will always be down for Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impersonation...

Yes, he appeared on three covers:
April 2012


And two separate covers for July 2013 (he was the gimp in Stella's cover )



Finally, he appeared in "Spellbound" from W Magazine in September 2012:

Sometimes I wonder if Meisel's like this when he sees new work from EJG

Maybe it is his protegeé...i wonder Meisel must be really private/close person so maybe he taught something to him so he can develop his career...it's a weird way to keep the legend alive, a little ego-driven but who knows...anything is possible...

Ethan was a sort-of protégé to David Armstrong, actually. He seems to have started out as a model, worked with photographers Armstrong connected him with and picked up stuff along the way.

That's Avedon, Penn and million other photographers Meisel copied.

 

[TuttiFruti]

When TFSers say "Meisel", I say "Avedon". I guess because I am older and have more photographic baggage.

Next to Avedon's work with Marilyn and Claudia(?), this cover shot with Agyness looks even more tepid.

 

[Wolkfolk]

EJG copies Meisel, who copied Avedon. It's the circle of fashion. A never-ending "reinvention" or repetition, etc., etc.

I don't mind it when it's done right. Here it is done right because Agyness is really delivering.
It's great, and definitely nostalgic to see her again like that. And I love the cover. Its easy but fun. The layout is great, and makes it even more cheeky, which works really well with the styling.
