LOS ANGELES GUIDE
In late May of 2023, our team travelled to Los Angeles to shoot our BEVERLY HILLS DROP. To us LA was maximalism, extravagance, a pop-culture epicentre for those inclined & an all over sensory overload.
It’s somewhere we see so much of and a lifestyle that seems to contrast so heavily from Melbourne - particularly on the precipice of winter. We designed and wanted to photograph a release with the above in mind, in the city thats the backdrop for so much inspiration & such high density of creativity.
It was a privilege to travel for work again & to introduce our first Mr Winston abroad collection. We would be remiss to suggest we saw even close to everything LA had to offer in the week we were there, try as we did to eat our way through it. We did however meet & photograph the heavenly Marcella Varado who gave everything & more in terms of must do’s, see’s & eats.
So much so, we thought we’d share them with you.
