Back to December 2022, where Brazilian model Diego Miguel gathered with the talented photographer Leslie Kee and an exceptional crew to bring to life the second issue of SuperMagazine. After the resounding success of the premiere issue, the anticipation for Issue II, titled “A Tribute to Richard Avedon,” began to build.
The collaboration between Diego Miguel, Leslie Kee, and the entire team was nothing short of spectacular.
The journey to create this homage to the iconic Richard Avedon began in 2022, a year before the issue’s premiere. The meticulous planning and dedication were evident as the team convened at the 7 Live Studio in New York.
Diego Miguel, styled by Jamie Grace, with hair by Johnny Caruso and makeup by Keiko Hiramoto, embodied the essence of Avedon’s timeless style.
The issue, set to premiere in August 2023, showcases the mastery of Leslie Kee’s photography, capturing the spirit of Avedon’s work with professionalism and flair.
The poses struck by Diego Miguel, drawing from his acrobatic and gymnastic background, added a unique touch to the tribute. Standing at 6’0, the Brazilian model donned Givenchy’s latest garments, showcasing his muscular physique, hairy pecs, and top-notch modeling skills.
