John Willie's Work and Bizarreīizarre magazine began in 1946, while Coutts was living in Canada. Willie hoped to settle in New York but was forced to remain in Montreal, Canada, for a year or so because of immigration issues. In 1945, Willie moved to North America, while Holly chose to remain in Australia, where she died in 1983 at the age of 70. He worked at a variety of jobs as well as pursuing his hobby and eventually established a company to produce exotic footwear, called 'Achilles'. Because of his access to the High Heel Club's mailing list, Willie was able to begin producing and selling his own illustrations and photography. When one compares Willie's drawings and photographs of his wife, one is left with the impression that Faram incorporated his ideal body type, tall and slender, and she is said to have shared the artist's interest in bondage and high heels. She became his muse and modelled for him often. He met his future second wife, Holly Anna Faram, sometime in the early 1930s, and the couple married in 1942.

Early careerĪfter moving to Brisbane, Australia, in 1926, Coutts was able to put his affinity for fetish wear to use when he joined the High Heel Club, where he was probably introduced to the print media of a community of 'shoe lovers' and other fetishists. He migrated with his wife to Australia, where their marriage ended in divorce in 1930. Although he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant into the Royal Scots, Coutts was forced to resign in 1925 when he married a night-club hostess, Eveline Fisher, without the permission of his commanding officer. It has been suggested that the restrictive fashions worn by women of that time, such as whale-bone corsets, and the constant repression of sex and sexual desire characteristic of this era, may 'go some distance to explain fluency in the semiotics of dress.' He is said to have had a rather typical upbringing in a middle-class family and attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.

John Coutts was born in 1902 to a British family in Singapore, but moved with his family to England in 1903, where he grew up during the Edwardian era.
