Meisel and Vogue Italia parting ways? | the Fashion Spot

Meisel and Vogue Italia parting ways?

That wouldn't shock me. If Meisel himself turned up on the cover, that would shock me.

But not Franca..

NO!!!! Please don't let Meisel go!
Vogue Italia is the most artistic Vogue edition and without Meisel it will probably loose that image.

Or it will mean Vogue Italia is dead because Kim Kardashian might be on that cover!! That would be a disgrace!

That is intriguing. I would be really shocked if Meisel stopped photographing for the cover.
 
I hope it's not true, that would be shocking if it is
 
This is real?... I hope than Meisel doesn't finish this work on VI.
 
Meisel's work over the past year or so hasn't warranted the hold he has on VI to be honest. I'd personally welcome a change.
 
BTW there are rumors that Kim Kardashian shot for a MAJOR BLUE CHIP cover.

Perhaps Franca wanted Kim on her VI cover and Steven Meisel refused and he had to photograph her or he had to leave or he quit?

Franca was also on their wedding.
And we all know that Kanye wants to make Kim a star in fashion as style icon & covermodel.

Kanye got fantastic connections in fashion and he know how to use it to archive something. He even somehow convinced Anna to give Kim that US Vogue cover at a time Anna did not like Kim at all!

And that story about Kanye and Louis Vuitton.
It seems that if Kanye wants something he gets it.

I am afraid that Kim Kardashian is on the cover of Vogue Italia June 2015.

I don't think it will be Kim on the cover since Vogue Italia June will be a China Issue.....
 
If so, they'd better put Linda on the cover.

She wouldn't make any sense for the June China issue. Perhaps she'll get another month if this rumour is for VI? If not for Vogue Italia, then it has to be British Vogue or Vogue Paris. It's the only other blue chip titles I can think of. British Vogue seems more likely. I swear, I cannot wait for the day we'll all be rid of these wretched Kardashians.

Re these rumours about Meisel leaving VI, I might actually welcome this. If they let him shoot March and September each year, maybe even Jan, it could be a great arrangement.

If the Meisel rumors are true, then it's a bittersweet moment. It's sad that after 27 years, he's leaving VI but it's also really exciting to see what VI would become in the hands of a new staple photographer or in the hands of multiple photographers month after month. This is the change I'd like to see. If true, I'd definitely miss Meisel, BUT I hope the photographer/s that replace him is not someone who to some extent has similar aesthetics. If Meisel is leaving then I'd like to see change in VI, but if he's leaving and some knock off photographer would take over and produce the same quality then I'd be disappointed. I want to see change.

Anyway, should there be a replacement please let it not be Sgura and Testino. Please.

As for Kim, I wish she's not the cover star of Meisel's last issue for VI. :-(

It must be this, and its Kim! It can only be her, she shot in LA with Pat! Sigh! I really hope its not the end of Meisel shooting their covers, in good or bad, i grew up with his VI cover sotries! Imagine if Steven ended his Iconic connection to VI, because of someone like KK?!!! But sadly i can see it happening, its the world we live in at the moment. Fashion has never been less exciting.
 
Franca Sozaani's also good friends with Kim and Kanye, right?

If Vogue Italia were to do a Kim Kardashian spread by Meisel then I'd want it to be OTT! Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele on styling duties - the LOT. Italian Vogue's been a little stale these past few months, even with models, so I'm certainly optimistic about the idea.

Personally, I don't think Steven Meisel would leave because of Kim Kardashian. Meisel used to adore modern pop culture. He done the Hollywood story with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie and done that story themed around Twitter.

Really?? But that's crazy. I cannot even begin to imagine Kim for VI because she doesn't make any sense at all. VI isnt overfond of celebrities and when they do it makes sense to some extent (Mia Goth/Isabella R). I wonder, does that mean Meisel actually shot the cover? If Meisel would leave because of Kim she'll be finished in this industry! She can take her sister with.
 
Sorrenti's name is popping up in the Vogue Italia discussion...
 
Just heard straight from someone that the rumor is about Meisel disagreeing to shoot the story, so unless its Kim, what on earth can it be?
 
^Something associated with the magazine's rumored China-themed June issue?
