It may be the first truly simple and very pretty take on the popular Alice theme. I am so [...]

The plum love shoot was one of the most fun projects I worked on this summer, partly because the women I had a chance to partner with, partly because I adored the concept and partly because we shot it in my backyard, against my favorite white chipped wall.

The main design piece of the concept was [...]
