William Baker (born 1973 in Manchester, England) is a fashion designer, fashion journalist, stylist, author and theatre director, best known for his past work with musician Kylie Minogue. Baker attended the Manchester Grammar School , from where he went on to study theology at King's College London.
An elaborate art book titled Kylie, featuring contributions by Minogue and creative director William Baker, was published by Booth-Clibborn in March 2000. At the time, she began a romantic relationship with model James Gooding. Their relationship ended after two and a half years.
