Paris-born Fabien Baron is an iconic Creative Director sought after and revered for his style, tenacity, and poise. His dual French/American identity, his family background in art direction and publishing, and his global network of creative colleagues, affords him a unique perspective on luxury and aspiration.

He has re-invented multiple magazines, including Italian Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, French Vogue, and Interview, and has sculpted the images of Calvin Klein, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Balenciaga, among others luxury brands.

Unconfined and a step ahead, Fabien extends his eye to fine jewelry, liquor, hospitality and home furnishings. Harry Winston, The Macallan, Ian Schrager Hotels and Cappellini are connected to fashion and beauty, and therefore Fabien as a luxury brand crusader encompasses the wider range which defines style.

A natural film director, Fabien can tell a seamless story combining objects, print and moving image. In a recent interview with Charlie Rose, Fabien explains that he tells a story within a collection of mediums for a brand. “The medium is irrelevant, I tell a story no matter [what], film is the future of branding.” His ground breaking styles in film, packaging and print have been imitated for over two decades. Fabien’s film for Calvin Klein, Provocations, goes beyond commercial walls and pushes the envelope that provokes thought and perspectives within time.

Fabien’s instinct and foresight to see success within his subjects adds additional intrigue to his life’s work. His thrust of relative unknowns Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg to household name status is a legendary narrative aptly chronicled by the New Yorker.

His ability to create a fragrance flacon and campaign for Giorgio Armani that remains a number one best seller for over 15 years is unparalleled.

He inspires daily and aspires constantly. In an age of retrospective creativity, he stands without competitors as an inventor - he resonates through others within film, music, art, and design.
