Steven Meisel is an incredibly talented photographer, arguably one of the top 5 fashion photographers in the world. He’s shot campaigns for Prada, Valentino, D&G, Calvin Klein, Versace, and more. A cover shoot for Vogue? It’s just another day at the office for Steven.
This top image? Perfection.
Which brings me to Belle Vere, Steven Meisel’s latest fashion assignment for the June 2011 edition of Vogue Italia. I was thrilled to see that Belle Vere features the stunning plus-size models Candice Huffine, Tara Lynn and Robyn Lawley.
I was also happy to see these gorgeous girls sporting lingerie ensembles from the likes of Alberta Ferretti, Dolce & Gabbana and Agent Provocateur. (Shoot styled by Edward Enninful.)
I’ve included a few of my favorite (work friendly) images from the story here. If you’d like to see the full spread, check out FashionGoneRogue. (FYI: It does feature quite a bit of nudity.)
If I’m 100% honest though, I didn’t LOVE this spread. I don’t think some of these images are very flattering. I know it’s fashion, and because they’ve used plus-size models they’re probably trying to make some sort of statement – but still. If you look at the rest of the spread I think you’ll see what I mean.
P.S. There’s a quick behind-the-scenes video of the shoot here.
