ABOUT THE EDITOR

I LIKE
WHAT
I LIKE.

And I’ve never been particularly interested in the rules.

AN EDITOR’S NOTE

I’ve never been particularly interested in following the rules of good taste.

I’m more interested in what makes you stop looking. The unexpected photograph. The artist you haven’t heard of yet. The beautifully impractical shoes. The things that stay with you long after you’ve moved on.

COUTEUR is my ongoing collection of those discoveries.

Part fashion obsession, part art archive, part visual diary. A little unconventional, occasionally excessive, and entirely driven by curiosity.

There isn’t a formula. There isn’t a dress code.

And that’s exactly the point.

what makes you stop looking.

A HISTORY OF MAKING THINGS.

Some things lead to other things.

My creative path has never followed a particularly straight line. Publishing, design, art, and the occasional unexpected detour have all found their way into the work. COUTEUR brings those interests together in one place.

GOOD TASTE IS PERSONAL.

Thank goodness for that.

I’m drawn to things with character. Fashion that doesn’t ask permission. Art that makes you look twice. Photography that stays with you. Beautiful objects, strange ideas, and everything in between.

COUTEUR isn’t about telling anyone what to like. It’s about sharing what I find worth looking at.
