THE WAITING GAME

Photo shoot for September 2022:

To begin with this was a great shoot- we were working with Uma who was new to us, but so lovely and so grounded for a young soul. The day was beautiful and warm, although, technically still winter. And then a few hours into the shoot, Hannes, our fantastic photographer, looked up into the trees surrounding us and said, “is that a parrot sitting in that tree”? Sure enough, it absolutely was. When Hannes called him and put out his arm, he promptly flew in and had a seat right on his outstretched arm! He was very interested in us (mostly Hannes) and what we were doing! Hannes found him truly captivating, so the end of the shoot became THE WAITING GAME... calling the parrot and waiting for him to come and sit near Uma so we could later put him across the pages of LH September 2022. Turns out his name is Mikey and he lives on the property of the shoot, and although he was interested in being in the photos, he wanted to be THE STAR... not Uma’s side kick! You’ll find him inside the front cover of the catalogue!

This collection was inspired by the wilderness, thus the colors and names. I envision the colors and stripes sitting beautifully in simple country houses and cabins all over the world. For me it was also once again time for a more colorful story, with lots of mixing and matching as always.

The introduction of the stunning new Jasper collection is also an exciting one! It’s a construction that I’m crazy about because it’s different, really beautiful, and because it lends itself to many different products!

Exciting times.
