Steven Meisel is one of the most famous fashion photographers in history, thanks to his groundbreaking images of everyone from then-unknown models like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Christy Turlington to Madonna. While Meisel is a regular in the pages of American Vogue and Vogue Italia (he’s shot every cover for the latter since 1988), in recent years, he’s become a frequent contributor to W Magazine. In honor of the legendary photographer’s birthday today, here’s a look back at some of Meisel’s photographs for W Magazine, including those of actresses Barbra Streisand and Jane Fonda, and models Gigi Hadid and Natalia Vodianova.
