QuoteA piece of Vogue history is going under the hammer; this Thursday, Steven Meisel's photograph of Naomi Campbell for the March 2019 cover will be auctioned at Phillips in London.


The image has to grab you," Yamaji told Vogue of her decision to snap up the photograph. "Usually it's very instant. We'll see something, and within the first few seconds we'll know – that's a stopper and a seller." For the cover, which Phillips estimates could sell for as much as £45,000, Meisel used multiple exposures and varied lighting, rather than after-the-fact colour work, to produce the triplicate image of Campbell.
