MEET OUR JANUARY SPEAKER: MARCEL AMES 

Before Marcel Ames became the guy in wingtips, he was on-track to join the boys in blue. The Richmond native was gearing up for a career in law enforcement when life—in the form of a concussion suffered during training—set the 30-year-old on a new path. Today, he produces pocket squares, ties and made-to-measure suits, as well as a collection of women’s scarves set to debut later this summer, which can be purchased from Ames directly. 

Read more about Ames’ inspiration in this Virginia Living article here. 

Meet us for coffee and creative inspiration on Friday, January 18th at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture as we explore this month’s global theme #CMsurreal. Tickets go live for this month’s event on Monday, January 14 at 10am.
