Entitled ‘Steven Meisel New York’, this collection pays homage to the esteemed photographer’s cherished city. Sparing no effort, Meisel has curated an assemblage of renowned figures to grace this monochromatic campaign. The series boasts 26 evocative portraits, capturing the essence of celebrities who hold a profound connection with Steven Meisel. Among these luminaries are the likes of Linda Evangelista, a perennial muse of the photographer, as well as timeless supermodels including Amber Valletta, Liya Kebede, Irina Shayk, Gigi Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Penelope Tree, Eva Herzigova, Alton Mason, Ash Stymest, and Scott Barnhill.
In addition, Steven Meisel has enlisted esteemed collaborators to meticulously shape the visual essence of this collection; individuals who are well-acquainted with the Arteixo-based fashion brand (located in A Coruña, Spain). The curation of styling has been entrusted to Karl Templer, celebrated makeup artist Pat McGrath has conceived the captivating beauty looks, and the iconic hairstylist Guido Palau.

You can see his love for the 60s shining through in pieces like a faux fur coat, a badass leather shirt, and some seriously cool corseted closure trousers. And can we talk about the music vibes? It’s like a grunge explosion with a plaid shirt that’s straight out of the 90s and a super oversized denim jacket covered in sparkly sequins. Plus, those spider-shaped designs on the tees? A throwback to Meisel’s early days as a fashion illustrator. So rad!
