You – my most cherished and loyal – are the very first to lay eyes on my latest collection. Yes, this is a sneak peak at something truly special: A limited edition “book.” |
|
Amuse-Bouche captures that sweet spot, where food + fashion + art + photography all meet. It takes the form of limited edition hand-bound, hand-stitched “book”. It will come in two different covers and the same interior, each inspired by a Michelin-starred restaurant menu (the look) and by a classic cocktail menu (the size). |
|
The real magic is inside. At first glance, the photographs resemble a glamorous fashion shoot. But keep flipping through the “menu”. Look closer. See if you can spot foods such as caviar, coffee, prickly pear and red snapper. Amuse-Bouche will take you on a sweet, savory, amusing ride infused with beauty and the levity, joy, and laughs needed in these complicated times. |

Well … only 500 of these hand-signed first editions exist. (250 of each cover) Think of it — as a rare gem, yours for the taking before anyone else even knows it’s here. (Launch is early June 2025.) So … don’t hesitate. This is your moment to preorder. The reprint? It won’t be the same. Start your AB collection now. Could this be more perfect for your coffee table? A gift for your food, fashion, art, and photography lovers? With love, nerves, and much anticipation, xo Melanie |

One last thing … when will I receive my copies? Yeah, we are printing and binding in the U.S. so the whole production system is clogged up. (Surprised?) We will have your copies to you first, arrival mid-June at the latest. |
