CONTRIBUTOR


Cator Sparks

Cator Sparks is a Southern transplant to New York City who has made a Harlem townhouse his home and where he is proud to be Block President. From there he incubates (usually in a caftan) in his Vreeland red office conjuring up pitches focused on menswear, travel and design. Those pitches have fortunately been picked up by the likes of The New York Times, T Magazine, and The Moment, Elle Décor, Rodeo, City and Out Magazine as well as Style.com, Wearethemarket, Contributing Editor and Hintmag.com.

Cator is also the U.S. Editor of WeAr Magazine.

By night he can be found anywhere from a high brow social soiree to a down and dirty dive bar looking for new stories, new designers and of course, new cocktails. For more on Mr. Sparks check out www.catorsparks.com.
