^ haha yeah, I somehow managed to miss the von Unwerth edit as well. I actually LOVE it even though I usually hate her work

 

[Omnis]

^^^ DEFINITELY! I've got all the Iselin pictures on my wall - editorially this was her strongest appearance! I miss her Italia Vogue appearances! Italia Vogue + Steven Meisel + Iselin =

Yeah .. Then you'll be glad to know that she is soon due with a new Vogue IT ed with Meisel .. It's been shot already. It's supposed to be something special.

This ed is iconic. Amazing story with two brilliant models.

It's so genius and so unbelievably well executed. In any other photographers hands it could have all gone so wrong, but Meisel gives you glamour, genuine sex appeal, cinematic drama and a real sense of urgency and social commentary. Totally brilliant.

One of my favorite eds, and the moment I truly fell in love with Iselin.
Her Haute Femme Fatale performance was deserving of the cover instead. Hilary looks beautiful just not as believable in the role.

I can only hope for future amazing MeiselxIselin collaboration.

All those people who complain about Meisel's name being mentioned in every new thread about the magazine forget that there were decades of cover stories like this being produced by the man.

And the emotional attachment you have to those memories is not easily cast aside. Meisel was the photographer who got me interested in fashion imagery in the first place, never mind the world I encountered when I found Vogue Italia on sale in my nowheresville town. It was February 1991, the first issue I ever saw.

And nearly every cover story contained some visual reference to a person, a film, a photographer. Something or someone worth knowing. Each issue, I was given a thread to follow, and I got an education in return.

So as a teenager, I lived for Vogue Italia. And we're all older now, and all the magic has gone out of the world. But with a mention of Meisel's name, I can still remember what I felt when I saw his work.

And he's still capable of turning up, from time to time, to produce something worth looking at. Yes, he's been around so long, he's referencing himself. But when it comes to Meisel, there's a lot to remember. And no amount of whinging about him is going to diminish that for me.

Besides, the present day state of fashion photography does not contain much that surpasses the past. Wake me up when it does.
