Derek Vance, design and style writer at Culturizm

Derek Vance

I'm Derek, and I write about contemporary interiors and menswear for Culturizm from Chicago. I've freelanced on design blogs for years, which mostly meant another "ten trending pieces" list. What I actually wanted to ask was smaller and harder: why is this look everywhere right now, and will it still make sense next year?Growing up with an architect mom and a dad who could talk for an hour about a jacket lining, I think I was always going to notice rooms and outfits before brand names. Culturizm is where I get to write that way on purpose. If a post sent you here and you want to tell me what landed or what you'd skip, email me at derek@culturizm.com. I read what's sent.
