Miu Miu F/W 2015.16 by Steven Meisel

Absolutely adore this. Such a nice change from lifeless minimal campaign and everything starts to spring back to life again.
 
This has to be the best campaign of the season. Love the retro vibes, and the 'subjective reality' narrative, the campaign has really got me hyper. :heart:
totally agree this from Miu Miu along with the Gucci campaign are bringing a new excitement, energy, and creativity that has been absent for some time. Seriously Miesel at his best. :heart::heart::heart:
 
This is truly inspired, I was rather taken aback by the ambivalent comments earlier on. There's a hustle & bustle/composition to the shots that recalls Inez & Vinoodh's work but it's very much got that Meisel cinematic flair that I haven't seen for a while.
 
Photography oscillates between two poles: the tripod and the hand, the compositional and the improvisational, the studio and the street. The hand-held, improvised picture – shot in the city, with a lightweight cameras and available light – has always put forward an aesthetic critique: the rejection of overly determinative technique and academic notions of composition. The street photograph represents a more immediate, engaged, lived art.

That unstudied sophistication of the surreptitiously captured image is evident in Steven Meisel’s new photographs of Maddison Brown, Hailey Gates, Mia Goth, Stacy Martin for the Miu Miu FW’15 campaign. That the campaign has a title, Subjective Reality, and each individual image is subtitled, is poignant. The seemingly off-hand compositional and perspectival logic suggests an highly subjective gaze: a bystander is captured mid-gesture, a car window partially frames the street, backgrounds are populated by the mini-dramas of passersby. The actresses meet that gaze, at times almost defiantly, as if interrupted mid-sentence by the intrusive lens of the photographer.

One of the more inspiring campaigns this season, IMO. The shot through the car window is money.
 
Was just revisiting this, it still looks so good! Also was this the last time Meisel ventured on location for a campaign?
