Tyler Ford Captures Bella Hadid in Private
Ford and Hadid pay homage to Mert & Marcus’ famed editorial from issue 52 of the fashion quarterly.





Visionaire No. 52 has long been one of the most coveted issues of the renowned fashion quarterly, disappearing from newsstands in a flash upon its 2007 release and commanding hundreds of dollars via aftermarket sales in near decade since. And that’s thanks in large part to the “Private” editorial spanning the pages within. Housed in a limited-edition Louis Vuitton case designed by Marc Jacobs, the 192-page spread saw iconic photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott depicting the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Chloe Sevigny, Jennifer Lopez, Gisele Bündchen, Stephanie Seymour, Christy Turlington, Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Jacobs in their most private states.
Now, in honor of Visionaire‘s 25th anniversary, the publication is paying homage to some of its most famed issues with brand new spreads and videos — “Private” being the latest. Helmed by Tyler Ford, 2016’s rendition of the portraits captures beauty Bella Hadid, offering up five different images of the 19-year-old model along with a video that sees her waking up, eating, stretching, brushing her teeth, and reading and watching TV in bed before stripping down to enjoy a cigarette in a candle-lit bath.
Check out Ford’s take on “Private” and stay tuned for more of Visionaire‘s 25th anniversary tributes.
