Mr. Mickey

A fashion thinker, influencer, philanthropist, Editorial Director for the super cool Paper Magazine, Mickey Boardman is a very important figure in the fashion world; he is an authority who has used his power not only to talk up fashion but also to talk against any kind of wrong doings in fashion.

Mickey Boardman

He loves what he does and does it pretty darn well, but at the same time he uses his skills to give back in his own way. Whether it’s building schools and hospitals in India or his charity sales for various causes or helping empower women in Nepal, Mickey is more than a stylish maven who is one of the most photographed faces in New York. His artistic ingenuity goes beyond clothes, accessories and trends. He has always thought out of the box and while Parsons didn’t quite get him, Paper embraced him and loved the progressive thinker that he was even while interning more than 25 years ago. He found a place where he felt belonged and decided to stay, and as they say, the rest is history…

When did your romance with fashion begin?
