Raquel Zimmermann | Steven Meisel | Vogue Italia November 2011 | Take the A Train

Styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele for the new Vogue Italia, Raquel Zimmermann takes the A train the opposite direction from the uninspired, stereotypical Terry Richardson snaps of Natasha Poly in Harlem editorial for Vogue Paris November 2011.

Steven Meisel tracks Raquel in all her first-rate fashion model magic on the A-Train headed to Rockaway Beach, moving through the Court Street stop and Park Slope towards the wet and watery end of the line.

With all due respect to brilliant Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani, Raquel is traveling Carine Roitfeld style. The contrast between these two New York editorials is an excellent example of the intellectual contrast between Roitfeld and Alt — and Richardson vs Meisel.

I’m clear which train I’m traveling on. And you? Anne
