Steven Meisel Shoots A Sexy Miranda Kerr in 3D for Vogue Italia

As it hit the newsstands in Milan two days ago, the September issue of Vogue Italia had a cover that looked a little different. Why? Because it was shot in Vogue's newest photography frontier, 3D. Enclosed with the Italian issue was a special pair of 3D vision glasses.



Although I'm sharing the cover, the whole editorial and the backstage video of the shoot here with you, you'll need to wear the 3D glasses to see the cover and the editorial the way it was truly meant to be seen. Besides, who doesn't want to see Miranda Kerr's natural assets in three dimensions?



Shot by photography master Steven Meisel, the September issue features 22 pages of the sexy Australian model (and the newly pregnant wife of Orlando Bloom) Miranda Kerr.



Thanks to the possibility of seeing in three dimensions, Vogue images will acquire a totally new power, crossing the borders of fashion photo shoots, to strengthen even more the very high quality pictures, which have always been the trademark of the magazine.













And a look at the backstage video of the photo shoot.



Also, for Vogue Italia readers, the 3D surprises of the September issue carry on in The Scent of the Future, a story shot by Tim Walke.
