<p>Meisel was born in 1954.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He studied at the <a href="High_School_of_Art_and_Design" title="High School of Art and Design">High School of Art and Design</a>, where he attended different courses but, as affirmed in an interview with <a href="Ingrid_Sischy" title="Ingrid Sischy">Ingrid Sischy</a> for <i>Vogue</i> France, he finally majored in <a href="Fashion_illustration" title="Fashion illustration">fashion illustration</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>From an early age, Meisel had a deep interest for fashion; he often preferred to sketch models while looking at fashion magazines rather than play with other things and soon enough attended the High School of Art and Design in New York City. Later, he was admitted at the <a href="Parsons_School_of_Design" title="Parsons School of Design">Parsons School of Design</a>, where he majored in fashion illustration and graduated.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2></div>
<p>One of his first jobs was for fashion designer <a href="Halston" title="Halston">Halston</a> as an illustrator. Meisel taught illustration part-time at his alma mater, <a href="Parsons_School_of_Design" title="Parsons School of Design">Parsons School of Design</a>. Later on, while working at <i><a href="Women's_Wear_Daily" title="Women's Wear Daily">Women's Wear Daily</a></i> as an illustrator, he went to <a href="Elite_Model_Management" title="Elite Model Management">Elite Model Management</a> where Oscar Reyes, a booker who liked his illustrations, allowed him to take pictures of some of their models.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In his spare time, Meisel would photograph models. One was future film star <a href="Phoebe_Cates" title="Phoebe Cates">Phoebe Cates</a>. She went to a casting for <i><a href="Seventeen_(American_magazine)" title="Seventeen (American magazine)">Seventeen</a></i> magazine to show her portfolio, which held some of his photography, and the people at <i>Seventeen</i> subsequently contacted Meisel and hired him.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Meisel worked for many different fashion magazines, most notably <i><a href="Interview_(magazine)" title="Interview (magazine)">Interview</a></i> and US and Italian <i><a href="Vogue_(magazine)" title="Vogue (magazine)">Vogue</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His first Vogue cover was for the August 1986 issue of the British edition. For almost three decades, he captured the photographs for each cover and main editorial spread in Italian <i>Vogue</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He also shot most of the covers for <a href="Anna_Wintour" title="Anna Wintour">Anna Wintour</a>'s Vogue from the mid 90s to early 2000s.

</p><p>The July 2008 issue of <i>Vogue Italia</i> featured only black models, and was entirely photographed by Meisel.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was a response to increasing criticism of racism in the fashion industry and became the best-selling issue in the magazine's history. When asked about the issue, Meisel said: "Obviously I feel that fashion is totally racist. The one thing that taking pictures allows you to do is occasionally make a larger statement. After seeing all the shows though I feel it was totally ineffective. I was curious—because it received a lot of publicity—whether it would have any effect on New York, London, Paris, or Milan, and I found that it did not. They still only had one token black girl, maybe two. It’s the same as it always was and that’s the sad thing for me."<sup id="cite_ref-032c_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-032c-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Meisel's work often addresses social issues such as racism, addiction, and cultural self-absorption, and the photographer has a history of controversial photoshoots. One example includes an editorial in 2007, where he depicted models in designer outfits being harassed by soldiers, drawing inspiration from the Iraq war. The images were deemed as glamorizing violence and rape. A 2010 article by <i><a href="The_Guardian" title="The Guardian">The Guardian</a></i> noted that Meisel "clearly considers himself a bit of a provocateur" and questioned his sense of taste and appropriateness.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He frequently satirizes the mannerisms and extravagance of the fashion world. One example is the editorial "Makeover Madness," which spanned eighty pages in <i>Vogue Italia</i> in 2005 and depicted models undergoing various body interventions, dressed in couture but wrapped in <a href="Gauze" title="Gauze">gauze</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other photoshoots by Meisel have also been met with criticism.
