Channeling the ancient wisdom of the Tarot through Couture Fashion and Collage Art
In the Couture Tarot, I have re-envisioned the archetypes of the Tarot through the lens of couture fashion and collage art. Each card was created using images from fashion magazines. The Couture Tarot combines traditional symbolism along with contemporary imagery, inviting the participant on a magical journey of self-discovery. The Couture Tarot includes a full color guidebook with descriptions for each card, housed in an elegant jewel box for safe keeping.
“Haute couture consists of secrets whispered from generation to generation.”
- Yves Saint Laurent
To me, high fashion is art, and one of my greatest inspirations. From a stack of fashion magazines, I became a mystical seamstress, cutting and sewing (or in this case, pasting!) together different images to create 78 individual tapestries reflecting the energies of each card.

““Vibrant, bold, energetic, and inspring, the Couture Tarot has stolen my heart! Megan has created a fascinating new world where classical structures come to life, tigers comfortably prowl amongst party goers, and even flamingos flock together to preen and strut about, happy to celebrate one another’s natural beauty and inherent je ne sais quoi. Each of these cards is a true masterpiece, beckoning you to explore a luxurious new landscape.””
The Story of the Deck
Welcome to the Couture Tarot!
I received my first deck of Tarot cards when I was fourteen years old. From the moment I saw the cards I was mesmerized, and the Tarot has been my dear companion ever since. Creating my own deck has been a labor of love, and I’m delighted to share it with you. Each of the cards in the Couture Tarot was created through collage art, using images from fashion magazines.
When I was a teenager, my mother and I spent many happy afternoons after school, with cups of tea and Pepperidge Farm gingerbread cookies, looking through our preferred magazines: Vogue, Bazaar, Elle, Glamour and Mademoiselle. We’d earmark the pages with our favorite outfits, some of which my mother, a seamstress, would recreate.
I have continued this thread in the Couture Tarot. To me, high fashion is art, and one of my greatest inspirations. From a stack of fashion magazines, I became a mystical seamstress, cutting and sewing (or in this case, pasting!) together different images to create 78 individual tapestries reflecting the energies of each card.
After a long illness, my mother passed while I was in the process of creating the deck. I know that her presence was with me, whispering and nudging me along as each card came to life. I like to think that, as an artist and fashionista in her own right, she would love the result.
My dearest wish is that this deck whispers to you, through insight and inspiration, prompting your imagination towards knowledge and self-discovery. That it will lead you to discover your own unique sense of the Tarot.
