Christopher Kilkus on Photographer Steven Meisel

Born in 1954 in New York, Steven Meisel was driven by his passion for photography at an early age. As a teenager in New York City, Meisel photographed models he saw on the streets. Subsequently, he studied at the Parsons School of Design in New York, earning a degree in fashion illustration. He immediately put that degree to good use, landing an illustrating and sketching job at fashion-house Halston, and eventually ending up at Women’s Wear Daily.

Meisel’s early work at Women’s Wear Daily included styling the models and taking test shots of them, all while improving his craft. His work was noticed by editors at Seventeen magazine, which in turn garnered the attention of Self magazine. Meisel’s career took off at Self, producing covers that helped establish his reputation. Meisel has an unusual, long-standing relationship with Italian Vogue, having been responsible for the cover and lead editorial story for the publication for over a decade. He continues to be the primary photographer for both the Italian and American Vogue publications.
