Stephen Barrington is a Paris-based stylist whose work explores identity through minimalism, sculptural form, and a sustained engagement with Black dandyism. Grounded in an academic background in Critical Race & Ethnic Studies, Stephen approaches fashion as a visual language shaped by culture, power, and intentional authorship.

He holds a Master’s degree in Fashion Communications from The American University of Paris, where his practice developed toward conceptual image-making and refined visual storytelling. His work emphasizes composition, restraint, and material presence, creating images that feel deliberate yet instinctive.

Stephen has led editorial projects for Le Mile Magazine, Faithlovehope Magazine, and other independent publications, and has contributed as an assistant stylist on projects for SCHÖN! Magazine, Flotte France (commercial), and Heliot Emil. Across editorial and brand spaces, his styling remains rooted in clarity, structure, and cultural consciousness, using fashion to articulate identity rather than embellish it.
