I want to take a trip with Garance Dore.

For one, because I'd die to pick her brain, but mostly because she makes the

great tones. great shapes. great penmanship.

earlier this summer I had the dream-come-true pleasure of helping out the website The Coveteur 

on one of their photo shoots.

something out of one of my greatest sartorial fantasies.
