Stephan Janson

Stephan Janson is that rare fashion designer who cares more about the clothing than the commerce, which is one of the reasons why, when Pierre Bergé offered to set him up in business, he declined the offer. It is also why he left Paris and New York—where he worked with legendary talents like Diane Von Furstenberg—and quit the fashion show scene to set up his by-appointment atelier in Milan. Here, he creates simple silk pieces for loyal clients who care more about how they look than wearing a known label. Read Stephan's insider picks for Milan.
