Couture Tarot Deck and Guidebook Box Set
“Haute couture consists of secrets whispered from generation to generation.”
Yves Saint Laurent
I’m delighted to share the new edition of my Couture Tarot deck and guidebook from Red Feather/Schiffer Publishing! 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 you on a magical journey of self-discovery.
When I was a teenager, my mother and I spent many happy afternoons after school with a cup of tea and Pepperidge Farm gingerbread cookies looking through our preferred magazines: Vogue, Bazaar, Glamour, and Mademoiselle. We’d earmark the pages with our favorite outfits, some of which my mother, a seamstress, would re-create.
I 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 images to create 78 individual tapestries reflecting the energies of each card.

“While rooted in tradition, the Couture Tarot invites a personal, intuitive approach, allowing readers to connect with its otherworldly imagery in their own unique way. With a vintage and mystical style, each card feels like a doorway into a different world. Megan Skinner has created a deck that feels both timeless and fresh, honoring Tarot’s past while inspiring new interpretations.”
