As with Meisel’s most memorable work, and in direct resonance with the history of the Maison, these images have a sense of nostalgia, yet are bound to remain.
The purity of the setting, the absence of ornament, and the deliberate repetition of a single composition place the body and the garments at the centre of the image. A fundamental reduction becomes a method of accessing timelessness.
More than a campaign, this series is an act of image-making, almost like a craft. Images intended to be remembered. Images of quality, not reality. Images made to invite dreaming.
A moment of fashion, defined by timelessness. As is Meisel’s work and as is Alaïa.
