Thanks for posting the source of his inspiration, nike. I don't love the editorial, but there are some shots at the bar that resonate Meisel's earlier genius and that is what I like seeing. The shots in the studio are the strongest of the editorial but fails to add to the story-line, and as I look from frame to frame, it makes the entire editorial feel less cohesive. From seeing the trailer and movie stills together, i feel like the editorial should have been a much longer series of photographs, without so much focus on the pub and more emphasis on the relationship between these three women. The assortment of black and white and color photographs work against the editorial, as well. Overall, it feels like the tip of the iceberg to a greater, more meaningful project.
Thanks a lot D(17) for scanning.
