Steven Meisel's "Water & Oil" in Vogue Italia August 2010

Vogue Italia's August 2010 Issue featured a 24 page cover story called Water and Oil by Steven Meisel with model Kristen McMenamy, inspired by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. This is one of the editorials that is burned into my memory since I first saw it over a decade ago, but let me know what you think about this fashion story.

We need more of this, editorials and shoots of the past that have a lasting impression. Short and sweet

Thanks Henry. So much of fashion is disposable, I wanted to highlight some moments that break through.

Very much agree to this type of videos. The history of the fashion industry is vast and filled with iconic editorials and campaings that made a lasting impression. The trends of today are marked by the trends of the past. Looking forward to more flashion flashbacks.

Thank you! I’m going to be jumping around decades with these.

Kristen was so perfect for this concept. She’s always so fully committed to the creative process. BTW thanks for recommending a look at Glen Luchford. Really enjoying checking out his work.

[@THEMODELGENE]

I remember this editorial fondly, I loved Meisel’s photography but this editorial took my breath away. Vogue Italia inspired me endlessly.

Same here!

As a photographer there are some amazing fashion spreads that are ingrained in my head this one lives there rent free. Vogue Italia during that time had some of the most magnificent photography. It pains me how every month I open American Vogue, and no offense to all involved, but the photos are bad like really fkng terrible, no creative direction, dull, boring and lifeless, it is so infuriating just how bland the covers are. Thank you for highlighting these amazing shoots.

Thank you so much for your comment, you are exactly the demographic I am hoping to reach with this channel
