Kristin Young Writer EriC LEVin Photographer Artist and entrepreneur Eric Levin grew his photography business from modest beginnings, gaining recognition peddling his artistic works off the street. Now operating with studios in NYC and Boston, Eric's Elevin Studios is a hive of photo and filmmaking activity and an incubator for young talent. Eric studied at Clark University and L'UniversitŽ de Paris- Sorbonne and enjoys travel, adventure, and astrophysics. Behind the story: "While we were shooting, Jim Gaffigan ["According to Jim," page 110] was practically doing standup: guessing where some of the crew were from, what college they attended, and what TV show each person would be on. He had us rolling." Man of inspiration: "Irving Penn. His photo- graphs tell stories about more than just the subject photographed. He was a truly great artist working inside and out of the commercial world." …WITHOUT WHOM THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE Kristin Young has covered fashion for nearly two decades, writing for publications such as WWD, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times, and is the editor-in-chief of children's fashion magazine Earnshaw's. For Michigan Avenue, she interviewed designer Karl Lagerfeld for her coverage of Fendi's 90th anniversary ["Viva Roma!" page 81]. Icon insights: "Across the board, the questions Lagerfeld refused to answer were what we in the journalism trade call 'fluffy.' In other words, he was all business. I found that interesting." Fall trend of choice: "Velvet. Somehow it looks fresh right now, both saturated in color and textured." Seasonal look: "A black wool cape and over-the- knee leather boots." Memorable moments: "Meeting and interviewing Miuccia Prada and Alexander McQueen. Prada was a true intellectual and McQueen was light and told jokes."
