Purchase options and add-ons
As featured in Vogue, WSJ. Magazine, New Yorker, New York Times Styles, Town & Country, People, and D la República
A stunning tribute to one of fashion’s most iconic and enduring collaborations
Evident from their first photoshoot in 1987, legendary photographer Steven Meisel’s images of Linda Evangelista, one of the original 'supermodels' of the 1980s, are the result of a remarkable creative symbiosis between photographer and muse.
Featuring more than 180 images shot over the course of twenty-five years, this long-awaited book chronicles Meisel’s constantly evolving vision of Evangelista, pictured in a vast range of imaginative narrative contexts.
Art directed by Jason Duzansky, the book includes an introduction by fashion editor William Norwich, which tells the story of their friendship and situates it in the wider context of the fashion industry. With gorgeous reproductions and packaged in a luxurious cloth case, this extraordinary title is Meisel’s first retrospective monograph. It celebrates a collaboration that has produced some of fashion history’s most memorable images.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023For all of you that know, FIT Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. I went there from 1990 to 1994 in the heyday of supermodels. Linda, was pretty much the most popular The reason being is she was a chameleon. She would change her hair, her look, just everything. I can't even tell you how we all loved her. She was just an enigma. Dont get me wrong I loved Christy Turlington, Amber Valleta, etc and of course Naomi. But Linda was so beautiful & mysterious. So this book is beyond excellent. It is gorgeous. Very large & substantial, giving so much detail. The glossy pages and photos are so chic. And the box it comes in with the black typography. I'm going to get a 2nd one so one can be out and viewed. And one to save in the box! Don't hesitate to buy!!+
