Steven Meisel spoofs QVC for Vogue Italia

I love this shoot, so refreshing from alot of the stale shoots that appear in Vogue.

Vogue describes the shoot as "an artistically ironic simulation of telesales programs, nowadays much in vogue in the United States. Where cult garments and must-have accessories, from purses to shoes, to the most sophisticated jewellery, are presented by It-girls and chic ladies."

The shoot as featured in the Febuary edition of Vogue Italia features the latest s/s designs from Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Prada and Gucci modelled by supermodels Joan Smalls, Natasha Poly and Karlie Kloss.

Luckily for my battered bank balances, shopping channels can only dream of being this chic
