How Steven Meisel Changed Fashion
5/15/20261 hr 7 min
Lauren’s guests are fashion designer Bella Freud and fashion journalist Plum Sykes, who were both a part of photographer Steven Meisel’s iconic 1993 portfolio for British Vogue, Anglo Saxon Attitude., which was at the center of Cool Britannia. They discuss their individual experiences with Meisel, why he’s such an important photographer, what it was like to live in London amid such a movement, whether fashion peaked in the 1990s, how the fashion industry has evolved (for better and worse), and how they have both evolved.
