THE PERSON BEHIND THE JOURNAL
Eric Morante
Fashion writer · Publishing as Beau Morante
Eric Morante writes Beau Morante, an independent fashion journal covering bridal, prom, evening and wedding-guest dressing, and mother-of-the-bride style for readers across the United States.
His work focuses on the decisions behind an occasion outfit: how a fabric looks in different light, what to ask at a fitting, how to interpret an invitation and how to plan the whole look within your own budget.
Research, with the source in view
Eric turns published sources and clearly identified retailer information into practical questions and planning guides. Sources are named where they support factual claims. Product selections are researched rather than hands-on tests unless an article explicitly says otherwise.
Beau Morante is Eric’s publishing name. It brings the journal’s occasionwear writing together under one byline.
