Steven Meisel and Mert Alas & Marcus PiggottConsidered somewhat of an enigma in the fashion industry, photographer Steven Meisel is notorious for abstaining from interviews and shying away from the camera, unless of course, he is behind the lens. In 1988, Meisel shot his first cover for Vogue Italia, beginning a long relationship with the magazine– Meisel would continue to exclusively photograph covers for the following two decades. In 1992, Meisel photographed model Kristen McMenamy dressed in Chanel wares paired with jeans for the magazine’s May issue. In 2009, former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld dedicated the March issue to Chanel, with model Iris Strubegger similarly styled in a Chanel tank and jeans, shot by photographer duo Mert and Marcus.
