You can tell Craig Stephenson loves what he does. When he talks about fashion, his eyes light up, his smile is wide and you can’t help but be distracted by all of his hand motions.
Stephenson is currently the assistant buyer, store manager and creative director for Jordanos, a men’s and women’s clothing boutique in the Stonecrest Shopping Center at Piper Glen. When not helping customers put together fantastic looks, he also does some wardrobe styling for various photographers. “I’m always juggling all these different things and doing special events on top of it. I feel schizophrenic sometimes,” he says.
Creative Loafing: Do you have any formal training in fashion or styling?
Craig Stephenson: My formal training is in fine arts. I went to Baltimore School for the Arts and I was trained classically. I was trained doing sculpting, doing photography, painting, drawing. Here with the fashion business, I’ve always had a passion for fashion. Ever since I was 12 I used to watch Style with Elsa Klensch on CNN. I used to love it and I’ll tell you a funny secret. We had this long living space at our house in Maryland, and when no one was around, I’d get up and do runway up and down the room. I absolutely loved fashion. I loved the supermodels of the 90s.
How did you get involved at Jordanos?
I was working across the way, where Marble Slab is now, there used to be an interior design store called the 8th Wonder. I noticed all this commotion over here and paper on the windows and everything so I pulled open the door and was like “Hey!” and introduced myself. Me and Karen [Mangeney, the owner] instantly hit it off. She was like “You’re fabulous; I wish you could come work for me.” Eventually I cut my hours down to part time and I worked at 8th Wonder in the morning, took a two-hour break, then worked here in the evenings. Then over time I just got more and more into the store and what I was doing here and kind of changed my creative direction from interior design and home design into fashion. (more…)
