The fast-paced pop fairy tale of Mert & Marcus: Born in Turkey, Mert Alas, and born in Wales, Marcus Piggott, both from the class of 1971, meet at a party, team up, stumble through London’s club scene, become excited about each other, fashion, and photography, and land their first professional shots directly on the cover of the style magazine Dazed & Confused - the beginning of an unprecedented success story. Today, Mert and Marcus shape the global image of brands like Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Miu Miu, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Lancôme, while celebrities like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Linda Evangelista, Gisele Bündchen, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Moss, Björk, Angelina Jolie, and Rihanna clamor to be portrayed by them. Their photographs virtuously play with a wide range of styles and emotions.
