Pennyweight Pop-Up

March 15, 2014 • Events •

A few months ago, my dear friend Elise Joseph hosted a pop-up event here in Nashville, and we were so excited to be a part of it. These are some images shot to promote the pop-up featuring some of our signature pieces.

Photographed by Ryan Bernal.

Modeled by Shelby Marvel.

Styled by Elise Joseph and Jesse Maria.

Shelby wears the Georgia Midi in Navy Silk Crepe, the Mara Jumpsuit, Georgia Tee in Flax Midweight Linen, and the Ryan Pant in Flax Midweight Linen.

Note: Some items in this blog post were a part of a past collection and may no longer be available.
