Steven Klein Vogue collects the photographer's work commissioned by Anna Wintour for US Vogue, spanning from 2000 to 2019. The book traces the evolution of Klein’s visual language over nearly two decades, showcasing work defined by dark sensuality, psychological intensity, and cinematic staging.
Models become characters in charged, often unsettling narratives that blur the line between fantasy and provocation. More than fashion imagery, these photographs construct worlds where power, control, and desire unfold theatrically.
Klein’s fashion photography is instantly recognisable for its bold fusion of glamour, eroticism and psychological drama. His images push beyond traditional fashion spreads, often resembling film stills in their scale and tension.
What sets Klein apart is his refusal to idealise. He creates work that seduces and unnerves, inviting viewers into immersive, often transgressive, visual experiences that challenge the conventions of beauty and luxury.
Nicki Minaj, Bjork, Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld make memorable appearances, but the book ultimately belongs to Klein’s extraordinary cast of model-actresses – each one commanding the frame in his high-drama, tightly staged fantasies.
