HI, I'M AARON.

The Modern Otter started from a passion to tell the stories behind fashion. It's easy to throw up a few photos, but I care about who made it, where the fabric came from, what inspired the design or what trend it embodies. Every piece of clothing tells a story and I think it's important to know that story. 

That sounds lofty, I know. But The Modern Otter is really just a place of discovery. A site for us to find cool places and things and talk about them. 

A little about me: I currently live in New York City but have lived in California, Arizona and UpState(ish) New York. My background is in theatre and costume design, but I spent 10 years as a merchandising manager for a major retailer. Now I'm blogging and advising full time!

Follow along and see where this journey takes us!
