Warm Welcome

Welcome to GuyCouture.com. My name is Matthew and I am blogging from the small but hip Richmond, VA area. The intent of this blog is to be mostly fashion based, with a high preference toward accessories and luxury goods. I also will be writing about some local fashion and attractions in the Richmond area for I feel a writer, or blogger, generates much of their creativity from their surroundings.

That said, as I have been thinking up ideas and developing this humble little blog, I realized that spending all my time posting runway pictures and write-ups on Louboutins costing several thousand dollars does not help the general consumer. Often these items are considered to be impracical and unrealistic and my main goal of this site is to find ways to make these luxury items more accessible to a larger crowd of people.

I remember being handed my first GQ magazine as a 14 year old and memorizing all the designers, patterns, styles, and more. At that point I never dreamed of having any of those pretty items on the pages. I know many people out there, young and old, are struggling to make ends meet in this troublesome economic period. My belief is that these individuals and everyone else who values and loves high end goods should have the opportunity to indulge in ones self every now and then. Hopefully, with support from readers, this site can make it possible to provide opportunities for individuals to get things they never dreamed of having.
