Richard Haines in Conversation with Isaac Hindin-Miller

Richard Haines will talk about his career as a fashion illustrator with fashion blogger and DJ Isaac Hindin-Miller.

About Richard: After working for many years in the world of fashion design, Richard has come full circle and has emerged as one of today's most sought after fashion illustrators. His illustrations document the clothes and attitude of New York's everyday trendsetters and fashion icons across a diverse range of ages, races and backgrounds. Haines is commonly seated front row at fashion week's hottest shows, busily recording the looks in his sketchpad or on his iPad for clients who count on him to catch the nuances that cannot always be captured in photography or film.

It's his fascination with the people behind the styles that informs his every stroke, propelling his work beyond mere sketches and into the world where art and fashion intersect. Haines balances a busy stream of client requests while also drawing anything and everything that catches his eye, from high couture in Europe to the local boys in his Bushwick, Brooklyn neighborhood.

His clients include Prada, Dries Van Noten, Vogue, Fédération de la Haute Couture, Lanvin, Apple, Tiffany & Company, Bobbi Brown, Orlebar Brown, Santoni, Gant, Criterion, GQ, Mr Porter, Out Magazine, The Observer, Air Mail, Polo Ralph Lauren, Todd Snyder, J Crew, The New York Times, The London Times and CFDA.

Isaac Hindin-Miller has been on the internet for a long time. The New Zealand-born, New York City-resident started his blog isaaclikes.com in 2008, wrote it every day for almost 10 years, was the first person in New Zealand history to get fired from a corporate job for an article he wrote on the internet, and was one of the first 10 bloggers to start traveling around the world on the international fashion week circuit – years before the word 'influencer' was a part of the common lexicon. As a writer he's been published by The New York Times, GQ, Esquire and The Business of Fashion; as a DJ he's played parties for everyone from Kanye West and Fat Joe to Dior and The Metropolitan Museum of Art; as a host he's thrown his signature I LIKE YOU! parties for tens of thousands of people in New York, LA, Miami and Paris; and now as a street interviewer on Tiktok, he's interrogated hundreds of people (including Diplo, the Jonas Brothers, Cara Delevingne, Wayne Diamond, NYC Councilman Chi Osse, Scarr & more) about the best neighborhoods, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs in the best cities in the world.
