Later, he designed under his own name and became a creative influence in the fashion industry of New York City. Most recently, in addition to creating signature graffiti bags for Louis Vuitton, as well as projects for Diesel jeans and fabric for Knoll International, Stephen was devoting his time to painting, mostly portraits. He also was the fashion consultant for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland when it opened. In 1984, he received the CDFA (Coty award) for his energy and use of intense color.Throughout his life, Stephen summered with his family in northern Michigan.
