Los Angeles: SS15

March 24, 2015 • Behind the scenes •

These are some polaroids I snapped back in March, when we traveled to LA to photograph the lookbook for our SS15 collection. It was (surprisingly) my first trip to California, and it blew me away. From the minute my husband and I stepped out of the airport, we knew it was going to be good.

Our apartment was in Venice Beach, and everything about the neighborhood felt familiar and new at the same time. We traveled about an hour outside of LA to shoot the editorial, and the landscape of the West Coast still has me in awe. It was so right for our Spring collection, and I have a feeling we'll be back out there again soon - I don't think we can stay away for very long.
