Mikhail Gherman is the creative director for Karen Walker and The Department Store, heading up the creative process between design, marketing, branding and more. "I'm a general meddler," he jests.
He's working on the in-store launch of the new Karen Walker Eyewear collection, having just collaborated with the United Nations in shooting the campaign in Kenya with Derek Henderson.
He's also developing concepts for the Northern Hemisphere SS15 collection that will show this September in New York. Married to Walker, Mikhail was responsible for the ground-breaking recent eyewear campaign featuring women between the ages of 65 and 92 - a stroke of pure genius.
