FIM PREVIEW: Fabien Baron Interview
We’re almost giddy about this one — an exclusive interview in our September issue with Fabien Baron, the visionary Editorial Director of Interview magazine and founder of Baron & Baron, a design firm that has created countless iconic campaigns for major fashion labels, amongst other things. Baron tells us about his passion for design and fashion (“I am simply an addict”), working with Madonna on her SEX book (“She’s someone who knows what she wants and will never give up”), his new Calvin Klein campaigns (“We’ve taken one girl, the amazing Lara Stone, and used her across all the lines, which sends a really strong message”), and his controversial 2008 Eva Mendes/Calvin Klein TV commercial (“A sexy image of a woman is much less shocking and offensive than the violence we see in the news every day”).
