<p>This is what the love of fashion can spawn. Our very devoted fashion contributer Max, has just outlined a  veritable  THESIS on directional fashion photographer Steven Meisel. Intense no? If Max does pull it off, this could well be a scholarly book sold in college bookstores worldwide. Make room Madonna!<br />
                                                                             The Imagist.</p>
<p>Welcome to the premiere of my  new thread series entitled "CULTURAL ICONS FOR THE HYPER-INFORMATION AGE". The main goal of this  thread series is to discuss (in the spirit of the Reference Library ) a list  of people (artists, photographers, art-directors, models, agents, writers, journalists, and other icons) who are driving forces in the rise of today's complex and ever changing revolution in media and the arts. The name that has been coined, proposed and explained in this series is "THE HYPER-INFORMATION AGE". This is the age that we are living in now, fueled by the digital revolution, the creation of the internet/computing/world wide web (A.K.A. The Matrix), the rise of the personal computer, pdas, cell phones, and various computer software and web communities for people to access and share information at lightspeed, and the opening of borders of the "GLOBAL VILLAGE" for like minded people to gather in these communities. Thus all media, arts and information is now being exchanged in ways never imagined before, especially through web sites and communities as blog sites,YouTube.com, Myspace, Facebook, new blog site/online magazines such as TheImagist.com, Style.com, and information resources such as Google.com, GoogleEarth.com, Wikipedia.com.</p>
<p>Steven Meisel, a force of creative energy and vision who affects many facets of our pop culture, including photography, modeling, advertising and fashion, is naturally the first choice for my new "CULTURAL ICONS FOR THE HYPER-INFORMATION AGE". His impact has affected so many different facets of FASHION, from the 1980's to the present, which will be discussed in further detail by this article.</p>
<p>The article will be broken down into 3 sections:</p>
<p>I. Biography and Early History - A section with brief biographical details of Steven Meisel, including his personal history, early influences, start in fashion, beginnings into photography, turning points in his early career, a list of major editorial shoots, advertising shoots, collaborations with designers, models, art-directors and recent book publications of his fashion photography and personal art photography from the past to the present, in chronological order.</p>
<p>***MAIN TEXT FOR THIS SECTION***<br />
<span class="inline center" style=""><a href="/node/519"><img src="http://www.theimagist.com/files/images/teri00001.jpg" alt="The early years: Club Kid Meisel with protege Teri Toye" title="The early years: Club Kid Meisel with protege Teri Toye" class="image thumbnail" height="551" width="450"></a><span class="caption" style=""><strong>The early years: Club Kid Meisel with protege Teri Toye</strong></span></span></p>
<p>Steven Meisel was born in 1954. He had a fascination with fashion, beauty, style and art from an early age.</p>
<p>In childhood, instead playing with toys like normal children, he would draw and sketch women, turning to magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, focusing on fashion editorials shot by photographers such as Bert Stern, Irving Penn, Jerry Schatzberg, Melvin Sokolsky, Norman Parkinson, Richard Avedon, Richard Bailey and Richard Claxton. He bacame also obsessed with the models featured in these editorials such as Dorian Leigh, Evelyn Tripp, Jean Shrimpton, Peggy Moffitt, Penelope Tree and Twiggy.</p>
<p>At 12 years old he asked girlfriends of his to call modeling agencies under the pretense of being secretaries for Richard Avedon to get pictures and portfolios of the models. He also stood out in front of Melvin Sokolsky's NY studio at the time to try to meet Twiggy.</p>
<p>The articles/editorials of aristrocatic models/high society/model-actresses such as Angelica Houston, Babe Paley, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Claudia Cardinale, Gloria Guinness, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Lee Radziwilli, Marella Agnelli and Marisa Berenson were of major influence on him as well.</p>
<p>From this point we went on to study at the NY High School of Art and Design and continued at Parsons School of Design NY where he took general art courses but wound up majoring in Fashion Illustration. During his time at Parsons School of Design, he met and started his close relationship with Anna Sui, who at the time was a fashion design student at Parsons. Anna Sui wound up being a wardrobe stylist/collaborator/contributor/member of Meisel's "GLAM SQUAD" early photography work during the 1980's from his test shoot days, through to his shoots for WWD/LEI/PER LUI.</p>
<p>After college his first job was working as an illustrator for Halston in the 1970's. His days at Halston were is first "real job" in fashion and opened up some doors, but only in terms connected to Fashion Illustration.</p>
<p>But it did lead to a new Illustrator position at Women's Wear Daily which would be crucial in influencing his forays into photography. The position at Halston was limited in exposure compared to what Women's Wear Daily provided, which was so much more.</p>
<p>Since WWD was a publication, Meisel was able to experience and see other facets which only a magazine could provide, mainly editorial production, photography, runway journalism and trend/collection forecasting, etc.</p>
<p>Because of this experience he gained confidence to approach the Elite NY Agency where he was given the opportunity to test their new models. He started to test their models on the weekends or after hours during the week day, where he still worked at WWD.</p>
<p>One of the models he wound up testing was the model/actress Phoebe Cates, who at the time was a new face with Elite. Her images, as well as other images of models he shot wound up being shown to the editors at Seventeen Magazine via appointments/castings/go-sees/submissions by the Elite agents.</p>
<p>The editors at Seventeen made inquiries to Elite about who shot the images on the girls and subsequently contacted Meisel and offered him editorial work with Seventeen Magazine.</p>
<p>From Seventeen he wound up shooting for WWD, which led to publications such as legendary magazines such as Lei and Per Lui. One of his first shoots for Lei was commissioned as a "ski story", which he helped reinterpret as a "punk ski" story, instead of the usual "snow bunny" concept. The Lei and Per Lui introduced him to Francesca Sozzani, who was the Editor-In-Chief for Lei starting in 1980 and Per Lui in 1982.</p>
<p>When Francesca Sozzani took over the position of Editor-In-Chief of Italian Vogue in 1988, she gave Meisel the front cover and main fashion/celebrity editorial spreads, which he still maintains to this day. From this collaborative start the careers of Meisel, Sozzani and the position of Vogue Italia exploded. All three are now considered at the top level of influence in fashion and its related media related orbits.</p>
<p>During this period of Meisel and Sozzani's collaboration and because of their work together, Vogue Italia was able to contribute and chart a new change in fashion, which was the rise of the brand logo, power suit and the beginning of the supermodel, led by Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, the "HOLY TRINITY" Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell.</p>
<p>Because of this collaboration, it leads to introduction position as main contributing photographer for Vogue US under Anna Wintour. Thus he is a major contributor/collaborator for two of the three "FATES OF FASHION" publications - Vogue Italia, Vogue U.S.....the third sister "FATE OF FASHION" publication, Vogue Paris, he's had some limited history with, including his famous interview with Ingrid Sischy.</p>

    <div class="content"><p>Bravo!  Meisel's influence on fashion deserves the attention.  I find myself hungering for anything that's written about him, in the same way that I look for anything that's written about Linda Evangelista.  There isn't much out there written about them except for bits and bites from the press, which mostly transcends into negative gossip fodder.   Neither one seems to care about their reputations, but it hurts me, as a fan.  Such huge figures in fashion deserve better from not only fashion's fan base, but from the public-at-large, which pretty much sees anyone involved with the fashion industry as disposable and  unimportant.  </p>

    <div class="content"><p>When talking about models (both old and new), you forgot to mention Daria Werbowy, who was on the cover of six issues of Vogue Italia in a span of a year and a half.</p>
<p>She has been the 'face' of almost every major label campaign (as well as being a spokesperson for Lancome), and is considered to be one of the new supermodels of the 00's.</p>

    <div class="content"><p>Hello T.I. and TheImagist.com Fashion Addicts,</p>
<p>I'd just like to post my appreciation and gratitude to T.I., and also the members of TheImagist.com for giving me the inspiration and drive to post these "fashion" rants which T.I. has graciously given me a platform via TheImagist.com to post. If it wasn't for T.I., TheImagist.com, members of TheImagist.com and also a special mention to MR. X  who has given me "behind-the-scenes" support to explore my new "FASHION JOURNALISM" ventures, my "special correspondent" postings would not have been made possible for all to see.....</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>MAX....A.K.A. Fashionparasite - member of the "UHURA-MASAI CREATIVE COLLECTIVE"....</p>
