Steven Klein sells a darker version of celebrity culture, lighting his own version of Bonfire of the Vanities. His visual take on pop culture demontrates an emotional coldness, perhaps a “let them eat cake”, shoulder shrug.
Not all stars, of course. Klein is joined at the hip with both Madonna and Brad Pitt.
His Italian Vogue shoot is timely. Sadism, overt or subliminal, seeps through much advertising this fall, and it’s the woman who is cracking the whip.
