Three Hundred and Seventeen and Counting

From the New York Times / T The Moment:

Fine Print ‘Three Hundred and Seventeen and Counting’
By David Sebbah




The photographer Steven Meisel has photographed every single cover of Italian Vogue for the last 20 years and nine months. From visual parodies of super models heading into rehab, to B-listers posing on the red carpet, to photographing the artist Elizabeth Peyton for the cover way back in 1998, Meisel has used his lens to tap into the zeitgeist. This week, the photographer’s third book, “Three Hundred and Seventeen and Counting,” will be published by Mallard/Janvier.
