Establishing herself as a star stylist in the industry, Elin Svahn has, rather discretely, racked up umpteen shoots with top-drawer talents and clients. Her sensibilities make seamless generation leaps from Meisel, Sims, Lindbergh to Capozzi, Jackson or Troost. The Swedish, New York-based stylist and once fashion editor of Interview, is part of the new guard of image makers intersecting the old way and the new, pushing fashion forward and unfolding its future. What couldn’t be learned in books studying fashion in Stockholm, she learned first-hand under Karl Templer. Her own expertise then found footing amongst the pages of Vogue Italia, W Magazine, Interview and down runways for Dior, Carolina Herrera and Mary Katrantzou.

Models.com in partnership with Ford Models interviewed Elin on the new school of thought powering the industry. Check out the fourth installment of our “In Discussion With” series above.
