It was only a matter of time before America’s great decoupage artist and its leading menswear designer
joined forces to create a series of wearable works of art. Both look to the past for inspiration.
Both have a knack for making vintage styles feel modern, and both are fans of each others’ work.
John Derian’s obsession with printed matter ultimately led him to decoupage, the art of cutting and pasting paper. Since 1989, he and a small studio of artisans in New York City have been creating glass plates, trays, bowls, and other decorative home items with imagery from his vast and ever-expanding collection of 18th and 19th century prints.
