Rob Stein

Rob Stein works for important men’s fashion magazines. Defining where he comes from is not so simple though: “Well, my first language is German. I feel Austrian, but I love to travel, and when I’m in New York I’m American. When I go to Italy I’m Italian. I’m changeable.”
He inherited a house in the Alps and he also has a house in the city and another one just outside it. He lives in different places but when it comes to the family house he says: “My home is where my family and my friends are. I love nature. You can ski in the winter and take walks in the summer.”
He was a private person until fashion brought on a big change. All the photographers at the shows started shooting him; then he started to blog, which made him a public face.
He loves photography and it was the photographers that really brought him into fashion. “I wanted to be a fashion designer because I like to create suits. In fact, I do consulting for a lot of fashion companies. At one point I also wanted to be a fashion photographer.”
He used to find inspiration travelling anywhere from Mongolia to Guatemala, whose folklore attracts him and which he uses for the fashion stores. However, the best of his ideas definitely come from films, especially Belconti’s movies.
Rob is totally dedicated to his profession. He’s been invited to Hollywood. “I met a famous producer who offered to do a movie with me. I’m not sure I’m ready! We’ll see. Also, I’m about to show my latest designs, which I’m writing about in my regular fashion column.”
