Italian Vogue – Air Supply Spread
I was given a copy of the November 2009 issue of Vogue Italia for Christmas and whenever I look at that magazine, I immediately skip to the Steven Meisel fashion spread ‘Air Supply’. This features a ferocious redhaired model. (does anyone know who this powerhouse is??) The reason why I am more interested in this photo is because of the Judith Leiber handbag that she holds. This lipstick-inspired bag is genius in this photo. Going along with most other outfits and people, I feel like this bag would carry too much attention; the bag would wear the girl (or boy). But in this photo, the model clearly is the focus of the picture and the Leiber piece is just a side accessory. I think this photo certainly states a lot about the importance of self identity and fashion.
