ROLE PLAY PRESENTS THREE DECADES OF STEVEN MEISEL’S TRAILBLAZING IMAGES ON VIEW MAY 28 – JUNE 10
Open to the public
Phillips, in collaboration with Spanish luxury leather house Loewe and the Miami Design District, is delighted to launch Role Play, celebrating the groundbreaking work of internationally acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel in a traveling selling exhibition for the photographer. From his early days as an illustrator for Women’s Wear Daily, Meisel captured the 80s zeitgeist in his bold and pioneering style. Ever the visionary, Meisel has since continued to cultivate his distinct eye with each passing decade, continuously defining and redefining the leading aesthetic in fashion photography.
Over the course of his illustrious career, Meisel has collaborated with major fashion publications, from Vanity Fair to Interview, W Magazine, and Vogue, including Vogue Italia, for whom he has photographed every cover for the past twenty-five years. His imagery is reliably rich in narrative, drawing from an encyclopedic knowledge of fashion history. Indeed, with an informed nod to the past, Meisel’s photographs continue to lead the ever-evolving dialogue in fashion photography.
