To author Megan Skinner, high fashion is art and is one of her greatest inspirations. As a teen, Megan and her mother spent many happy afternoons looking through fashion magazines, finding favorite outfits that her mother, a seamstress, would sometimes re-create. Couture was born in celebration of the creative spirit of fashion and its ability to bring us together and elevate our spirits.

Before Aleister Crowley, before Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, before the Golden Dawn, before Papus, Éliphas Lévi, and Etteilla, the first author to describe an occult version of the Tarot was Louis-Raphaël-Lucrèce de Fayolle, comte de Mellet, writing in Antoine Court de Gébelin’s, 1781, eighth volume of his monumental encyclopedia, Monde primitif.
The comte de Mellet associated the Tarot’s trumps with the Classical Ages of Man: the Age of Gold, the Age of Silver, and the Age of Iron. He correlated the Trumps with the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, he described the minor suits in detail, and he provided the earliest discussion of a divination technique for the Tarot.
