That's HOT!: Steven Meisel's Hollywood

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Probably you already know how much I adore Steven Meisel. If not, I'll tell you: I love his work.
He's the only thing Vogue Paris hasn't got.

I talked about the Wild Warriors, The Rehab, and The Web. It was all about Meisel. And now (well, on 2005) he published in Vogue Italia one of the best editorials I have ever seen.
How can he be so visionaire?

I love this editorial because it wouldn't be an editorial if you want. It is like those weekly glossy magazines full of paparazzi pictures of celebs not looking their best, but in this editorial, instead of being celebs, there are some great models like Julia Stegner, Amber Valletta and Missy Rayder.

It is funny because when I saw this editorial I didn't even recognised who they were, I thought they were real celebs! It is so well done, with all those bright titles and big fonts...

There is a pic which reminds me of an actual celeb... can you see it?

Seguro que ya sabéis cuánto me gusta Steven Meisel. Si no, os lo digo ahora: me encanta.
Es lo único que le falta a Vogue Paris para ser perfecto.
Ya os hablé sobre Wild Warriors, Rehab, y Live on the Web. Todo de Meisel. Y ahora (bueno, fue en 2005) Meisel publicó una de las mejores editoriales que he visto.
¿Cómo puede ser tan visionario?
Me gusta esta editorial porque podría no ser una editorial si tú no quisieras. Podría ser un reportaje de las típicas revistas semanales llenas de fotos tipo pappazazzi de famosos en no sus mejores momentos. Pero en esta editorial, en vez de aparecer famosos, son algunas de las modelos más súper como Julia Stegner, Amber Valetta o Missy Rayder.
Es gracioso porque cuando vi estas fotos ni siquiera me di cuenta de que era una editorial de Vogue Italia, ni que eran modelos, creí que eran famosos!. Está muy bien hecha, con los títulos gigantes y las letras de colores.
De hecho, hay una foto que me recuerda mucho a una stargirl muy conocida... ¿la veis?

Live on the Web | Vogue Italia | by Steven Meisel

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Vogue Italia Cover February 2007

While writing the post about the best fashion moments of 2007, I couldn't choose an editorial as the best editorial of the year. I liked too many ones, and they were very similar. That happens a lot, usually all the things we like are very similar. But then a picture of Sasha Pivovarova dressed as a captain came to my mind. I loved that photo when I saw it in the february issue of Vogue Italia.
I didn't like so much the rest of the pics the first time I looked at them in the magazine. But I decided to choose that editorial as the best one of the year. Because it shows the change in the fashion world. Millions of blogs, facebooks, myspaces, webs, forums, watching videos on youtube, the possibility of seeing a fashion show online the same day it has taken place. Who said fashion was just for some privileged people?. In some months the "it" dress appears in thousands of magazines, but celebrities all over the world have already worn it. The new wave of photographers, models (even with a new characteristic "alien beauty", for those models with a singular beauty, uncommonly appreciated), stylists, well, those called artists. And not all of them are considered artists. That's the big deal, in my opinion. Who can objectly state that the Louis Vuitton handbags by Marc Jacobs are art?, or Terry Richardson's photography?, and what about the last Art Issue of W? was that art?
Anybody with a camera, a brush, or a musical instrument can be an artist nowadays, can't they? If we like their art is another thing.

And that's why I liked this editorial. A real artist (Steven Meisel) picturing half-artists in their dairy life. The models in this editorial could be any person having fun in front of a webcam. And we must admit that we can find a lot of photos of this kind on the net. So Meisel hasn't done anything new in that aspect. But he has recognized this change in the point of view, and he has published it in Vogue Italia. I'm sure Anna Wintour prefers to live in a world where all is exclusive and just for a few people.
Another aspect of life that Meisel portrayed was the Rehab Chic.
He's not just a photographer.

Al hacer el post sobre los mejores momentos del 2007, no se me ocurría ninguna editorial para nombrar como la mejor editorial del año. Me gustaban demasiadas, y casi todas eran parecidas entre sí. Es lo que suele ocurrir, todo lo que nos gusta se parece entre sí. Pero entonces recordé una foto de Sasha Pivovarova con unas Aviator con pinta de piloto. Me encantó esa foto cuando la vi, en una editorial de Vogue Italia de Febrero del año pasado.
El resto de las fotos no me gustaron demasiado la primera vez que las vi. Pero decidí nombrar a esa editorial como la mejor del año. Porque mostraba la evolución que está teniendo el mundo de la moda. Miles de blogs, fotologs, myspaces, webs, foros, además de youtube, la posibilidad de ver un desfile el mismo día en el que se ha llevado a cabo... ¿Quién dijo que la moda era sólo para unos pocos privilegiados?. La prenda it de la colección aparece a los pocos meses en las revistas, pero ya la han llevado celebrities hasta saciarse. La proliferación de fotógrafos, modelos (con una nueva faceta: "alien beauty", para aquellas con una belleza singular y poco comúnmente apreciada), estilistas, en resumen, los llamados artistas. Y eso que muchos no son considerados artistas. Ése es el gran problema, creo yo. Ahora es difícil distinguir entre lo que es arte y lo que no. Los bolsos de Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs, la fotografía de Terry Richardson, las portadas del reciente
número dedicado al arte de W, la música de M.I.A (ésa es opinión mía)... la lista es interminable.

Cualquiera con una cámara, un pincel o un instrumento musical puede hacer arte, ¿no?. Que nos guste su arte eso ya es otra cosa.
Por eso me gustó esta editorial. Un verdadero artista (Steven Meisel) retratando a pseudo-artistas en lo que podría ser su vida cotidiana. Los modelos de esta editorial podrían ser cualquiera haciendo el ganso delante de una webcam. Y debemos admitir que en internet se encuentran muchas fotos de este tipo, así que Meisel no ha hecho nada nuevo en ese aspecto. Pero lo que sí ha hecho ha sido reconocer este cambio, y publicarlo en una revista tan influyente como Vogue Italia. Seguro que Anna Wintour prefiere vivir en un mundo de exclusividad en el que sólo pueden tomar parte unas pocas personas.
Otro aspecto de la vida que Meisel retrató hace unos meses fue el Rehab Chic.
No es sólo un fotógrafo, eso está claro.



Models: Hilary Rhoda, Jessica Stam, Missy Rayder, Sasha Pivovarova
