By Stacy Stewart Smith (he/him), New York Atelier

It is not how you start, but how you finish, that matters. Couture Reformation opens behind a Wedgwood Blue door on Chicago’s South Side, the Sa-Mer Sewing Center, 1970s, where a teenager learned that a gift is only worth having if it is accompanied by dignity. From that beginning, across decades of work, a philosophy was formed. This volume is where it speaks.

Couture Reformation is the second volume of Atelier Quarterly, a 66-page menswear couture magazine written and designed by Stacy Stewart Smith (he/him). It makes the argument that couture belongs to men, that the kilt is the last unconquered frontier in formal menswear, and that the well-dressed man is not following fashion. He is reforming it.
