FIF; A conversation with Karen Binns

Karen Bins @karen_binnszzzz industry expert talk at @thefashionindustryforum blew our minds with her constant beautiful personal boundaries pushed. Karen is no stranger to the It crowd. A close friend to Jean-Michel Basquiat and pictured with Andy Warhol, Binns can spot what's cool anytime, anywhere. The Brooklyn native got acquainted with the fashion world by showing up to the hottest fashion scenes and clubs in the '80s, including the Mudd Club and Madam Rosa.

She got her start as a stylist in the '80s and developed her signature style of portraying an artist against their stereotype. From her early days styling singer Tori Amos @toriamos to working with today's Afrobeat sensation @wizkidayo Binns's impact can't be ignored.

Pushing boundaries and setting trends, Karen Bins embodies the spirit of New York fashion. With over 20 years in the industry and her influential role in fashion, she inspires us to be authentically us and to push those boundaries of personal growth and achieve our goals.
