Bastian Stein: THE style man

YES! That was me sitting across from that gorgeous man, but sadly not a date. I was talking to him about his business BastianSteinStyling.
As you can imagine from looking at him, Bastian started out modeling in Berlin and Paris. He loved the fashion environment, but didn’t enjoy the waiting around and soon started assisting photographer Vincenzo Laera. Bastian found this stimulation of his creative side rewarding and knew he had found his niche. It wasn’t long before others recognized his talent and he began styling spreads and writing features for magazines in Berlin and Paris.

Who are his favorite designers? Balenciaga, Dior, Raf Simons and Givenchy.
Currently based in Leipzig, Bastian continues to hone his craft, adding television and personal styling to the mix; great if you want to look like a million every day or for a special occasion. Now you don’t have to be a model to look like one. I asked for the one most important simply-must-have to update my wardrobe for summer and he whispered, “White graphic patterns.”
