Mecla x Mimi Shim Studio’s Agnes Wrap Dress in black, as seen on model Sangya, photographed by Chiara Garland
One of the things I love most about being back in Denver is the creative community here. While it might be a small group, that group is tight-knit AF. Mutual support and collaboration is the norm, and that is a beautiful, special thing that I have a lot of gratitude for. Not every city works that way. Two of my Denver fashion designer friends, Mecla Soyer and Mimi Shim, recently joined forces to come up with a versatile new dress for Spring. The Agnes Dress features a wrap design, which also lends itself to being worn as a jacket, and/or worn over pants. Very convertible, and available in a handful of colorways. And as always with these two talented ladies, the dress is sustainably made in eco-friendly tencel.
Sangya wears the Michael Amulet Necklace, paired with the Whisper Chain, Aphrodite Hugs, Demeter Cigar Band, Portal Bracelet, Portal Ring, and Goldyn Hammered Stacking Band. All perfectly suited to accessorize Mimi and Mecla’s Agnes Wrap Dress design, and all handmade in recycled 14k gold. Photo by Chiara Garland.
Mecla and Mimi asked if I would bring some Talisman pieces to help accessorize their photoshoot with photog Chiara Garland, featuring model Sangya. I’ve always found all 3 of our brands to be a great fit together, aesthetically and otherwise, and this was no exception. It was a super fun shoot, and both Chiara and Sangya were wonderful to work with (hit them up if you’re in need of a good photographer or model!).
