At 8-years-old, Stephan Janson declared his intention to become a couturier to his mother, and by 14, Stephan Janson had been to his Yves Saint Laurent show.  From there Stephan went on to work with many of the greats including Diane Von Furstenberg and Pucci, but ultimately decided he wanted to design his own collection despite what the industry dictated his path should be.  Stephan's self-possession from an early age and his great love story with Umberto Pasti will leave you inspired.
