Style Négociant

/stīl nay-goh-SAYAHN/ 

Noun: Derived from the term French wine term “négociant;” A person who cultivates fashion traits, characteristics, or content from a particular region with the intent to blend these discoveries with those of another region as new concept.

I have started this creative journey as an outlet for my passion for fashion, design, and overall aesthetic style. Style is often said to be something that is timeless, that outlasts trends and fads. It is my hope that you can find value in your own sense of style and perhaps some inspiration in mine. I have been lucky to have traveled around the world, living in New York and Paris.

The inspiration for the name of this blog comes from the French term négociant, a wine merchant who buys and vinifies grapes from many growers and winemakers, and bottles them under his or her own label and ships them. Much like the French Négociant, I have curated a sense of style from the influences of my travels, borrowing heavily from European “growers” and blending their content into a new label. This culture crossover with America should make for an engaging and relevant project. We are all dealing with the uncertainties of the world. I hope this content calms you - and provides you with at least one certainty: We all have style worth sharing.
