LC: In fashion photography, who are you inspired by?
FB: For me, it's still about Steven Meisel. He rules the fashion world. He is fashion. He gets it and he knows what to do with it. I worked with him for many years at Italian Vogue, but not after I went to Harper's Bazaar, since obviously the two magazines were mutually exclusive. They boycotted each other. But before that, it used to be like a family. LC: Let's talk about Sex, the book. You and Meisel collaborated on it and though the reception was mixed, to say the least, art directing it must have been somewhat a boon for you. Did you feel like you were in the crossfire?FB: Yes, absolutely. Madonna and I have remained friends and we laugh about it to this day. We still feel it was a great project and I'm proud to have worked on it. It had everlasting impact and we have absolutely no regrets. |
