We envisioned 9 FACES as an album of one hundred portraits. The die-cut cookie-cutter technique we love so much comes into full play and enabled Cecilia Dean and everyone else in the issue to claim, “My face is on the cover." Inside, Raymond Meier, who is known for stunning still-lifes, created a face using a rock, a shell, and a paper clip; and artist Andres Serrano contributed an image from his Morgue series. Portraits by Mats Gustafson and Ruben Toledo of women such as Liz Tilberis, Grace Coddington, and Vivienne Westwood remain some of the lasting favorites. Other contributors to this issue include Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, David Seidner, Stephane Sednaoui, Steven Klein, and Lady Bunny.
