Morgan Hutchinson | BIPOLAR BLONDE
About this Event
On a rainy night in New York City, twenty-something Morgan Hutchinson finds herself in the gold-lacquered bar of Bemelmans on the Upper East Side.
The humid summer air is abuzz with promises of romance, heartbreak, and irrevocable change. In her debut memoir, Bipolar Blonde: A True Story of Suicide, Soulmates, and Starting Again, Morgan invites readers to relive the highs and lows of falling in love during a manic episode, finding rock bottom, and learning how to rescue herself.
In Bipolar Blonde, Morgan Hutchinson, founder of the fashion brand BURU, pulls back the curtain on the polished life she's built to share the unfiltered truth beneath it: a raw, redemptive memoir of living with bipolar disorder, surviving the dizzying heights of mania, and crawling back from rock bottom.
At the heart is a love story that unfolds across a glittering window of time out and about in New York, where romance and mania blur into something intoxicating before the lights go dark. With the same candor and warmth that turned BURU into a community, Morgan traces her descent into suicidal darkness and the hard-won work of rescuing herself, offering readers not a tidy recovery arc but an honest companion for the parts of mental illness we're still afraid to say out loud.
Arriving November 2026 (pre-sale in June), Bipolar Blonde is for anyone who's ever smiled through the storm, and a clarion call to finally talk about mental health with openness, honesty, and humor.
Morgan Hutchinson is the Founder and CEO of Buru, a vertically integrated fashion brand known for its small-batch collections and signature silhouettes. A self-described “accidental designer,” her nearly two-decade career has spanned entrepreneurship, fashion, styling, and writing. She founded Buru after becoming a mother, growing it from an online marketplace into a fashion brand with its own Los Angeles factory and retail stores across the country. Her first book, Bipolar Blonde: A True Story of Suicide, Soulmates, and Starting Again, is a deeply personal memoir more than a decade in the making. With honesty, humor, and grace, Morgan shares her experience with bipolar disorder in hopes of opening conversations about mental illness and replacing stigma with understanding and compassion. Morgan lives in Pasadena, California, with her husband and Buru co-founder, Brett, and their three children.
