About Articles of Style

Dan started Articles of Style from his college dorm room after being named “America’s Best Dressed Real Man” by Esquire magazine in 2009. He was born and raised on a farm in southern Ontario Canada but studied psychology at Columbia University where he was recruited to play NCAA basketball. When he wasn’t running the point, Dan spent most of his time on the streets of NYC falling in love with style, menswear and learning everything he could about his new passion of bespoke tailoring. After completing his Ivy League degree he went back to school to study Menswear Design from the Fashion Institute of New York, where his final collection was selected for display in the college’s museum, a rare honor. During his time at FIT Dan also apprenticed for a bespoke tailor in NYC, which lead him to eventually combine the convenience, marketability and worldwide reach of e-commerce with the level of expert service only found in a traditional brick & mortar experience. Dan lives in NYC’s East Village with his fiancee Karyn and their Labradoodle Myles, and claims that he can still play above the rim… 

Ben discovered programming while working on a food truck in Seattle. His culinary and technology interests grew in tandem and led him first to fine French dining in New Orleans, and then to fine American tailoring in New York. He studies computer science at Columbia University, and brings his apron and knife out of retirement regularly.

Wes was born and raised on the lower east side of New York City. His first job in menswear was shining shoes as a boy, where he observed how gentlemen dressed and learned the fundamentals. He went on to study Business Management at Brooklyn College, and in 2012 became our first official intern. His internship with AoS lead him to a career in menswear; he spent the last three years selling bespoke menswear and refining his technical skills in tailoring. Now that AoS has moved back in NYC, we’re very excited to have him back on the squad – even though he’s always been family.

Alex studied photography at Belmont University in Nashville. After graduating he moved to Brooklyn and got a Master’s in Fine Arts at the Pratt Institute. He met Dan while showing his work in galleries in New York, and the two hit it off instantly. He’s a southern gentleman with a unique Texas-meets-California sense of style whose work has been published in major online and print magazines around the world.

Born and raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Gunarat developed his interest in menswear during his college days. While his colleagues were working to get into med-school or get internships at prestigious consulting firms, Gunarat was indulging in his growing interest in menswear, from workwear to tailored clothing. Since then, he's worked the gauntlet of the industry, from editorial to merchandising to ecommerce. Gunarat currently works behind-the-scenes on the AOS team, making sure everything goes smoothly through every step of the client experience.

Morgane was born in France and raised in both Paris and East Sussex, England. Her fascination for Menswear started at a young age with an admiration for her fathers’ wardrobe of corduroy suits and classic newsboy caps. She went on to study Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins in London and got inspired in the streets of Saville Row and Carnaby street where she first interned, before moving to Paris where she trained as a pattern cutter and tailor.

Will was born and raised in Seattle before heading east to New York for college. After four years of studying International Relations - and grueling early mornings with the Columbia Heavyweight Crew team - he started working for Google in online advertising, and later on the Global Business Strategy team. Getting back to his West Coast roots, Will moved to Los Angeles where he reunited with Dan to turn The Style Blogger into Articles of Style. Today Will is pursuing his passion of renewable energy but remains a trusted advisor to the brand.
