INTERVIEW: Creative Director Stefan Campbell Makes Magic at Michael Bastian

Edited by

At 11 A.M. today, Exit Art was bustling with t-shirt-flannel-n-jeans guys with ladders, gold paint, real leaved branches and tree trunks sitting apart, and two Swarovski crystal chandeliers hanging from a rolling rack. This team of set builders were being kindly and meticulously directed by Stefan Campbell, the man responsible for translating Michael Bastian‘s collection into a three dimensional space that garners an emotional reaction from the audience before the clothes hit the runway.  Earlier this week, he removed the front row so Chadwick Bell could have a 14 foot-wide glowing fuchsia runway instead of seven. Today, he’ll be scenting Michael Bastian’s show with Aedes. After speaking with Stefan today, we can confirm that he knows the tricks to making a runway show magical. See Stefan Campbell’s secret tips and advice at the end of the interview. And we’ll go see the show now.

And Now It’s Time to Catwalk…for Your Life: Casting for New York Fashion Week with Andrew Weir and ACW Worldwide

Edited by

“Now watch the flames shoot out of her feet,” gushes casting director Andrew Weir after instructing veteran catwalker Tanya Dziahileva to take a stroll. Adding, “And she is giving us a loooook,” in reference to the model’s fingerless lace gloves and a rather jaunty chapeau. The fashion was a major point of conversation during Andrew Weir’s ACW Worldwide Casting event this Saturday. So much so that Mr. Weir mentioned that he’ll have trend-forecasters on-site next time around. Having noticed girl after girl march by wearing variations on a singular theme, Mr. Weir proclaimed, “The trend this season is all about  black, skinny jeans with this sort of waxy finish. It’s a sea of black.” The one exception was a model who dared to wear a beautiful white dress by The Row – “I hope you keep it clean,” he warns.

Everyone can use a little balance from time to time. And what Spa Week and Czeching out foreign spas have made me realize is that our backs are a precious, precious place. Even out the load you carry by taking on a backpack, and save the hunch for editorial. Right now, you can win the sleek Botkier Misha backpack on FashionIndie. But in case you’re not the lucky winner, here are 10 more that we love.

#NYFW Round-Up: FashionIndie’s Faves from New York Spring 2012

Edited by

There’s a definite consensus around the FashionIndie office regarding this season at the tents: lackluster. Gone was the excitement and the thrill of the new and in its stead stood a circus comprised of the old guard impatiently appraising the crop of would-be streetstyle stars and the army of bloggers hanging about as they waded through the muck of the nameless and the irrelevant to find a collection onto which to pin their ever-dwindling hopes . Still, there were a few shows that set the five barely-beating hearts of FashionIndie racing and had our backs aching to be clothed in their bright and bold designs.
