Don't get me wrong, I love it when Meisel do Avedon cause only he could get it right. But with his recent work, this story in particular, the spark has gone. There's no creative direction that makes the images memorable anymore. In the last decade we had Karlie Kloss with her abs and legs, Fei Fei in a tribute to China Machado, W's 'Transformers' where the girls dressing up as famous socialites, etc. Now everything's an unending Grace Mirabella's Vogue editorial while I wish we could get Vreeland's instead. No idea what's the cause but it's obvious everything's now commercial work to him. I mean, after 30 years under the pressure of churning out a different story every month, surely now he can do whatever he wants. Even repetitive work. Maybe in the future someone might come along and get him out of it creatively? Just like Phyllis Posnick with Penn or Nicole Wisniak with Avedon. Anyway, for starters I think he should start working with models only cause these celebrities always have to protect their image.
