But it’s not because they are controversial that I like them, but because they say a little more than just a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress. I love that too, but to try and say something is also my goal.” Steven Meisel is undoubtedly a prominent figure in the fashion industry due to his artistic talent, creative vision, and technical skill in photography.
