Curating Culture: the editorial eye Journalism, research, and cultural depth
Some of us were born a hundred years too late—and yet we live now, in full color.
Susan Fleming tells stories for those who feel history in their bones. For those who are moved by architecture, stillness, ceremony, and the hum of what once was.
With over 25 years of experience in journalism, food writing, creative direction, and etiquette instruction, Susan brings editorial elegance, emotional intelligence, and historical reverence to every project.
Whether shaping a narrative for a brand, curating the atmosphere of a historic hotel, or revealing the timeless power of a handwritten thank-you note, she brings a rare editorial depth to the everyday.
She speaks to those who sense the spirit in old houses and heirloom china, who believe in setting the table even when dining alone, and who see style as something more than surface—an expression of soul. Through vintage fashion, etiquette exploration, heritage travel, and daily rituals of beauty, Susan invites her audience to remember what still whispers through time.
Her work doesn’t just document—it evokes. Every campaign is an invitation: to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the meaning of a life lived with intention.
This isn’t marketing. It’s memory made tangible.
Susan’s mission is to inspire cultivated living through heritage travel, timeless style, and modern rituals of grace.
Drawing on her experience as a journalist, model, and etiquette expert, she crafts stories that honor the past while elevating the present. Whether interpreting the soul of a historic hotel, curating vintage fashion, or exploring the meaning behind manners, her work is infused with reverence and intention.
Susan doesn’t simply create content—she creates context. She chronicles a life where beauty and meaning intertwine.
Whether illuminating the elegance of a handwritten note or restoring the soul of a forgotten tradition, Susan brings reverence to every frame.
