- The Style Butcher started out in 2012 as a street style and fashion blog. In 2015 most of the focus was on the current projects of my luxury workwear company Search & Rescue Denim Co. Now in 2016 I am turning the focus of this blog to a sort of entrepreneurial journal. I want to chronicle the next stages of building an international fashion brand and I think writing out my experiences will help me understand a bit more what I want out of this business, and this life. Thanks for reading!
