VIDEO: Naomi Campbell x Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia #February

When I first spotted the new Vogue Italia cover featuring Naomi Campbell with one of her signature 'Just Before I Kill You' stares and flawless skin moisturised with the tears of her fearful assistants - I thought, hang on, didn't Herb Ritts die?
This cover shot by Steven Meisel is SO Herb Ritts-ish with a nod to all of the late photographer's iconic elements such as architectonic shapes, unusual adjacencies, warm light and those classic sepia tones. I like it, although Naomi is missing a ciggie and a Martini in her hand.

Wearing a Blumarine dress and gloves by Carolina Amato, the supermod is styled by Karl Templer for the new February issue which is on sale today.

And if that's not enough Naomi for you, here's a behind-the-scenes vid of the Meisel shoot, and all I have to say about this is, someone should take Naomi's temperature because she's acting all kinds of NOT RIGHT (I think the pills may be starting to wear off).
