Travel is at the heart of Mignonette, and it is hard for me to stay in one place for more than a few months; I do styled shoots with local creatives whenever I travel, and as a woman of color I try to make a point of finding models of color to represent the brand wherever I am (It was quite a trick to find one in Iceland, but we did it!). A recent trip to England and Scotland (with a few weeks in my absolute favorite place for creative regeneration, Iceland), was especially fruitful and exciting because on the morning we were flying back to Iceland I had a quick styled shoot that I was able to put together with only a few day’s notice - the incredible Ami from Rubie Love Photography, lush blooms from Anna Fern Weddings, and soft makeup (my favorite) from Holly Fowles, with our biracial model Syanne (a dead ringer for the gorgeous Meghan Markle) playing the perfect muse. Even though it was about 25 degrees and periodically rainy (thanks, London!) and also, um REMEMBRANCE DAY and we were shooting in front of Parliament (silly me!) we still managed to create a little dawn magic on Westminster Bridge and all around Mayfair. I hope you like this little taste - I certainly never wanted to leave! Click through for some stunning images from that day and get inspired. If you want to know more about her gown, it is the Talita, and yes, it’s in stock!
