Picture Perfect: Park Hour

What do you do when you have 1 hour in the park and a handful of menswear accessories? Stephen-Thomas and I decide to use the nature setting and do a fun editorial shoot.

Scarf: Mirror in the Sky; Bow tie: Freedom Clothing Collective; Pocket squares: Zebe Design 

For this fun shoot, we use accessories from Canadian brands Zebe Design, Freedom Clothing Collectives, Baffi Collection, Pomp and Ceremony and Barcelona brand Mirror in the Sky. We like how the nature setting brings out the rawness of these accessories and we do like the quality of the products a lot.

Please visit STM to see the spin off of this editorial. It's all about Mirror in the Sky!

Object of Desire: Support Mirror In The Sky

Looking to support a worthy cause and a special fashion brand all at once? Mirror in the Sky is a luxury scarf brand dedicated to supporting the people who make its products. This support is accomplished in two ways.  First by ensuring fair wages and secondly by donating 10% of sales to a local organization in Nepal where the company's products are made and where recent earthquakes have occurred.  PHASE is a not-for-profit organization which aims to improve health, education and the livelihood of those living in remote areas of the Himalayan mountain villages. Their overall goal is to lay the groundwork for a self sufficient future for those they help.

Right now Mirror in the Sky is on Indiegogo raising money to launch their signature line of scarves which feature new and emerging artists, designers and photographers. Scarves have a cashmere content and are hand made. From secondary spinning and massaging of the yarn right down to the finest finishing details, this handmade aspect helps enhance the quality and uniqueness of these beautiful pieces of art.
