Steven Sebring, Now in 4-D
“I’ve been keeping it very secret,” explained fashion photographer and filmmaker Steven Sebring of his latest project, Revolution, which debuted at New York’s 69th Regiment Armory last night. “Just testing the Rig and seeing what it can do—there isn’t anything else like it.” The “Rig” is Sebring’s name for the new massive “geodome” he created—a silver sphere lined with a hundred cameras on wheels. It took three years of personally funded development to complete the apparatus, which is designed to capture the so-called fourth dimension (or the “truly true,” as the artist defines it), and record its subjects’ every move—from every angle—as it spins.

Reed Krakoff And Steven Sebring Come Together Again For A Look At Spring
Reed Krakoff and filmmaker Steven Sebring—the man whose Patti Smith: Dream of Life was partially responsible for last year’s Patti mania—are longtime collaborators and friends. Their latest project is a look at the work behind Krakoff’s Spring 2011 collection, which means plenty of opportunities to see collection muse Stella Tenannt. “Steven and I have collaborated together for many years and I have so much appreciation for his work, both as photographer and filmmaker,” Krakoff tells Style.com. “Making this film was an incredibly personal experience, as Steven genuinely understands my design process and has this innate ability to capture something that I look at as ‘everyday’ and turn it into something poetic.” We’ve got your exclusive first look here; the full film—along with the Spring 2011 collection—launches tomorrow at ReedKrakoff.com.
A Peek Behind The Scenes At Reed Krakoff
It’s not every runway first-timer who can snag a stylist like Melanie Ward, lure big-name editors such as Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld, and land important retail accounts while simultaneously planning the opening of his first freestanding store. But then, not every first-timer is Reed Krakoff, Coach’s incredibly successful brand president and executive creative director, who launched his signature collection at New York fashion week in February. Krakoff will show Style.com his Resort line tomorrow. Until then, here’s a look at a behind-the-scenes video that photographer/filmmaker Steven Sebring, Krakoff’s longtime collaborator and friend, shot of of the making of his runway debut.
