Steven Meisel knows how to to get fashion fanatics chomping at the bit. Vogue Italia has remained on the cutting edge due in large part to his purity of vision. The upcoming October issue is no exception to the rule. With a stellar cast that includes enigmatic girls like Viktoriya Sasonkina, Sessilee Lopez and cover star Anna J, Meisel pushes glamour to the limit. The Young Independents editorial is slick, sleek and sublime. No one does it better.

The Alberta Ferretti campaign lensed by Steven Meisel has appeared and we love it for so many reasons.
1-The eerie and disquieting atmosphere and lighting
2-The old subway car depicted that brings back memories of traveling to school in the 70’s
3-The complete incongruity of such high end garments in such a quotidian environment
4-The official comeback of Anna J mixed with new favorites like Magdalena, Siri and Viktoriya
5-The utter fabulousness of things we see every day (people sleeping on the train, drinking coffee, holding onto the metal bars) as translated by the blue chip team behind this impossibly cool campaign. Oh that we could be so chic as we ride into work every day!
