A Very KULE Couple: Mei Tao and Darrick Harris

There are many wonderful and talented people we are so proud to see wear KULE. Mei Tao and her husband Darrick Harris, who are longtime friends of the brand, are two of them. Mei has been working with Nikki as our editorial photographer โ€” a visual magician if you will โ€” since the beginning. Her husband Darrick, the Visual Director of Town & Country Magazine, is also incredibly talented. Theyโ€™re a power couple with great style ๐Ÿ™‚. Get to know Mei and Darrick a little better and see how they wear their KULE this Fall.

“We’re in Montreal in these photos. I was there for work and D [which is what Mei calls Darrick] came on the weekend to join me for a little fun getaway.” – Mei

Mei and Darrick have been together for 23 years. Darrick is a native New Yorker, born and raised, and Mei was born in China, raised in Brooklyn, and has been in New York since she was 10. The story of how they met? Darrick says, “She stalked me for years,” and Mei says, “He waited for years for me to be single to ask me out.” ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

As for Mei’s connection to KULE, she’s known Nikki since 2011 and has been with us since. Mei is not only an incredibly talented photographer making magic behind the camera but also somewhat of a brand mascot who styles KULE as her own.

“Iโ€™ve been working with KULE since the beginning. Itโ€™s been so much fun realizing the brand’s vision with Nikki through photos. I’ve been a big fan since day 1.” – Mei

Mei and Darrick both say they love to travel together and, as Darrick added, “we love to watch foodie shows together.” Speaking of food, they are two people who definitely know where to eat in NYC. Some standout places they recommend include Omen Azen, Aurora Soho, The Odeon, and Big Wong. You’re welcome!
