Chapter 01

Pin curls

Elliot learned to set hair at his grandmother's kitchen table in Fort Worth, humming along to 'It's Only a Paper Moon'.

Chapter 02

Milan, New York, home

Ten years of training abroad, then home to Dallas, two blocks from the bars where he first came out.

Chapter 03

One rule

In 2012 the atelier opened with one rule: price the time, never the gender.

Chapter 04

White oak and linen

Tall north windows, paper lanterns and linen chairs, a room designed to make people exhale.

Chapter 05

Seven artists

Fourteen years later, seven artists share the atelier, and the rule hasn't changed.
