Hintmag have compiled a very interesting read with an interview with Fabien Baron, an artist who has done so much noteworthy work its unbelievable and one of recognition is the latest piece Marc Jacobs Andy Warhol esque Interview magazine piece.
"Fabien Baron—graphics guru, branding visionary, creative director extraordinaire, multitasking myth-maker—can do more in 15 minutes than just about anyone. So it was no great surprise when news spread earlier this year that he’d been named editorial director of Andy Warhol’s Interview (as well as Art in America and Antiques), a title he shares with style writer Glenn O’Brien, both of whom had worked for the magazine before. The September issue marks the official relaunch, but Baron has already been putting Warhol’s axiom to the test with three "warm-up" issues, as he calls them, one of which featured Marc Jacobs on the cover in a gray-white tousled Warholian wig. But while Baron can whip up miracles in mere minutes, give him 15 years and he can recreate the publishing universe. That’s exactly what happened when he was appointed creative director of Harper’s Bazaar in 1992. His signature negative space splashed with oversized letters became the aesthetic benchmark to imitate and himself a Warhol-worthy superstar. All the while, with his branding agency Baron & Baron and its staff of dozens, he’s been conceiving and realizing the ad campaigns and product designs for such blue-chippers as Calvin Klein, Burberry, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Giorgio Armani, to name only a few. Here, at his new Hudson St. digs in Tribeca, where straight lines and right angles still dominate (save for massive round light fixtures), the unflappable maverick opened up to LEE CARTER about everything from his Interview redesign to his designs on the White House."
