Hi lovelies,
One of my favorite things about being a fashion blogger is discovering the next big thing in fashion and style and then sharing it with you guys - and that's exactly what happened when I was introduced to the latest "It" brand in fashion, Barkwood.
I instantly fell in love with their classic yet trendy collection of Schoolgirl Plaid trousers and signature Lamb Moto Leather dresses. The fashion line also features a universal color palette of looks that are relevant from season to season.
In celebration of the launch of the new brand, they held an innovative installation preview called, "The Destination is the Journey," which was curated by Lost Found Decor. The installation showcased two sets of 10 looks with draped silhouettes. The concept behind the installation was to effortlessly telling the story of a group of friends on a journey, who ultimately finds themselves in a rural location.
Held inside Studios 60, a warehouse filled with some of fashions finest influencers, who captured selfies at the Barkwood embossed wall, signature drinks by Mixologist LA included the "Tomboy Chic" and "Barkwood Girl," it was a launch party not-to-be-missed.
According to the head designer and founder of Barkwood, Charniece White, she wanted "the inspiration for the collection, to be transitional and made for the girl who can 'run in the mud.'" She continues as says, "I wanted to people feel "fearless, weightless, classless, ageless, and boundless."
