Liquid Athenaeum grew from two inheritances. From one grandmother came a love of fashion, dress up, and the power of how clothing can change the way you move through the world. From the other came a love of gathering, creativity, and art, of bringing people together around shared space, shared time, and whatever was at hand.

Those influences still shape everything here. I’ve always believed that what we wear, what we read, and what we linger over matter, often in subtle ways. Liquid Athenaeum is guided by a hopeful romance with beauty and attention, with the idea that pleasure and thought belong together and that staying tender is a choice worth making.
