Big-Haired Photo Shoots

Steven Meisel Remembers The 80s For Vogue Italia

For the upcoming Vogue Italia, Steven Meisel channeled the 1980s with big hair, loads of makeup and decadent dresses.

The Vogue Italia shoot features models in nightclubs, with wild hair and wilder fashions. After a recent 80s fashion shout-out by Marc Jacobs on the runway, the bygone era is making its mark everywhere. This shoot follows suit with the retro looks.

Implications - If the shoot does in fact wet your appetite for 80s style, rather than revisiting this decade from the past the Steven Meisel shoot is an effective alternative. While the shoot can't literally take people back to the 80s era of rock and roll, these wild fashions and hair are perfect for reminiscing.

Check out the Steven Meisel shots for Vogue Italia above.
