ARTful
Your Word, Your Wardrobe, Your World
A Designer’s Guide to the Life That’s Yours
Out November 11, 2026
You’ve been following scripts that were never written for you and wondering why nothing fits.
Most people are living lives that don’t reflect who they really are inside.
David Peck spent over twenty years as a Paris-trained fashion designer, dressing pop stars to opera stars and came to realize that his time in the fitting room was never really about the clothes. In ARTful, he makes the process teachable.
