The Austin
Interviews

Austin launched The Austin Interviews in 2018 as a kid in Miami with a microphone and a lot of nerve. Since then he has sat down with more than sixty-five guests, from Gloria Estefan and Christian Slater to Charli and Dixie D'Amelio and Alix Earle. The format has stayed simple. Two chairs, no script, and questions that get past the talking points.

The
Book

Austin started styling and modeling at a young age, pulling looks together long before anyone asked him to. Years of dance training show up in every frame, whether he is holding a still line in a trench coat or kicking through a shot in tailoring.

Austin has attended Paris Fashion Week, watching the collections up close from inside the shows. He brings what he saw there into every shoot, from the way a coat moves to how long to hold a look before the shutter.
