Steven Meisel has made model Meghan Collison into a puzzle. She will appear as the tattooed pin-up girl she portrayed as photographed by iconic fashion photographer Meisel for [Vogue Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore).

The puzzle's box cover shows Collison in the pattern-on-pattern photo and is fashionably printed on cloth. If one dared to take the 1,000 pieces out of the box, it sure would be a fun challenge to put together. The finished work of art measures 20” x 28” and is being sold in a [limited edition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-figures-mural) of 1,000 for a staggering $750 on artandcommerce.com. The [quality jigsaw puzzle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-jigsaw-puzzle) is being manufactured by Editions Ricordi.
