In Fashion: Olivier Rousteing, 2015
Olivier Rousteing shows that nothing looks better than confidence. His openness on social media helped his Balmain era find its army. Balmain was Olivier and Olivier was Balmain. He helped shift Balmain away from a fashion audience to pop culture ones. Kim Kardashian never scared him. Neither did ambition. Nor did balancing kindness with craftsmanship. In an incredibly forthright conversation with Lou Stoppard, Olivier Rousteing explains it all. This interview took place 10 April 2015.

In Fashion: Matthew Williams, 2014
Hearing creative director Matthew Williams define what Been Trill is certainly encapsulates a certain pre-streetwear, pre-hashtag zeitgeist in fashion. These temporary spells of ideas created on a critical, but ratchet, playground were the early arenas for Matthew Williams’ authentic passion projects. Williams and Lou Stoppard talk about a formula in childhood that factored how football, Nike logos, denim production and job termination lead to good things, like trusting his own voice. This is how visions converge in an interview that took place 31 January 2014.

In Fashion: Glen Luchford, 2015
Glen Luchford looks back upon a life that could have gone only two ways, according to his mum’s psychic.

That is Glen Luchford’s criteria for a great fashion image — make it anything but dull. And so that is what he did in life. His relentlessly precocious thing helps too.

In Fashion: Tim Blanks, 2013
Tim Blanks reflects on a career that never had any plan in this episode of In Fashion. Maybe it started with the allure of sex and decadence from Andy Warhol’s Factory.

From hair to music to stripped down garment runway, all those qualities tie into Tim Blanks’ essential checklist. He explains why he does what he does, why he continues to remain and why facilitating the information about great moments from greater talent is most important. This interview took place 16 Nov 2012.
