just stumbled by this channel and loved the content. I work as a fashion campaigns art director , based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and a big part of my work is about researching the work of fashion photographers and getting in depth on their visual language. Meisel is a absolute inspiration, and I think is more interesting when a photographer and a brand develop a long time collaboration rather then something ephemeral, so you can understand and see the transformation in a full body of work.

Thanks you are very generous
People tends to degrade the new models comaring to the 90's supermodels, this is unfair to the new generation. You're absolutely right, the big girls got the platform in those golden years of fashion. There are big campaigns, ads, magazine covers, photographers and big design houses who shaped and nutured those girls became known and famous. Who cares about who is the cover girl of Vogue nowadays?
interesting topic to watch...! Luv it! ❤

Not sure if anything left of Steven except the word “Iconic”…like the description of his greatness has the past tense🤷🏼♂️but of course back in the day he was in some ways genius in terms of reinventing himself. But anyway there was always a feeling that he was cheating…so much shameless using of someone’s ideas and conceptions (Avedon’s in particular. Like A LOT)

We have to kind of agree. He rode the era of the Supermodels and celebrity image maker through the 90's. He never really had his own signature style. He was technically brilliant but not really original. He could copy anyone. He shunned interviews, never engaged with social media. He never really evolved. Where all the creative geniuses do. Like Picasso.
Interesting Insight. Stephen Meisel is a prolific genius standing on the shoulders of giants like Nan Goldin, but his imagery remains cold, almost cynical. His visions lack the empathy and truth to be called art in itself.

He isn't FIB's top 5. If truth be told. But he has a vast body of work. And is a great.
