Gan in ‘89
Author: Jauretsi | Posted: August 26th, 2008 | Filed under: Editorials | | Comments Off |
I just bumped into some old Details issues (my ex-job) while cleaning my home. A lover of archives, on ocassion I flip through old issues of most New York Magazines to remind me that this city is a living organism, constantly morphing and introducing new faces. Years before Conde Nast bought Details, a woman named Ann Flanders began the magazine which was a “who’s who” of the local creative scene in NYC. I remember reading the early Ann Flanders issues and plotting my move to the big apple. This little find is 19 years old.
(V Magazine’s Stephen Gan in old-school Details, 1989)
Stephen Gan — of Visionaire and V Magazine — is credited back then as a Fashion Editor and Photographer. The caption reads: “Stephen’s always amused by unexpected combinations”. Credits (his own clothes): The jacket is by Vivienne Westwood, sequinned jacket is vintage, leopard fake fur pants were a gift from Angel Estrada, and the shoes are by Patrick Cox. Stephen was given a Chinese silk theater apron circa 1930 from Sarajo to mix with his own clothes. Ahhhh, memory lane.
