Steven Vogel

Steven started his career in 1996 whilst he was meant to be studying for his degree at Goldsmith College, London. He opted to sell skateboards instead. When he did get his degree he stuck with retailing and left that world as a succesful buyer and retail manager for several independent and mono brand stores in London. 

In 2004 he started working for the magazine "streetwear today" as their Editor and in the same breath co-curated the "untitled-documents of street culture" exhibitions and books for the Bread & butter tradeshows in Berlin and Barcelona.

After a short stint as Sales Manager for Bread & Butter, he started the consulting agency Black Lodges in August 2006.

Steven wrote the book "streetwear" which was published by Thames & Hudson London in 2006 also and to date has sold more than 40`000 copies worldwide.

2007 saw the launch of the online magazine, blacklodges.com and he continues to contribute to a variety of internationally respected magazines.
