Hi Everyone,
I’m still buzzing with excitement from the recent launch of my latest collaboration with Orlebar Brown! After teaming up with this incredible brand back in 2012, I’m thrilled to be back with an all-new collection of swim trunks that combine my photography with Orlebar Brown’s signature resort-wear style. This collection, which celebrates my 15th anniversary, has truly been a labor of love, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all.
To mark the launch, Orlebar Brown hosted a beautiful event at their store at the Montecito Country Mart. Guests were treated to an intimate experience that brought the shorts to life in a way that was both fun and playful.
We had a swim cart on display with the collection, which features three fresh designs inspired by destinations close to my heart - The Hamptons, Côte d'Azur, and Montecito. My signature photography perfectly compliments the resort-ready, sophisticated style of Orlebar Brown. Seeing it all come together in person was absolutely surreal.
One of the sweetest touches of the evening was when guests took home beautiful flowers, wrapped in the same artwork that appears on the swim trunks. It was a great way to carry the spirit of the collection home with them!
Orlebar Brown was the first company I ever collaborated with, and this partnership opened my eyes to how photography can transcend beyond just walls and into something people can wear. It helped me envision my work as a lifestyle — and this collaboration is, in many ways, a full-circle moment for me.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support! It was so wonderful to have so many friends and new faces come together to celebrate this exciting launch. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new collection, head over to the Orlebar Brown website or visit the Montecito store to see it up close.
Cheers to a summer ahead full of sunshine and style!
Xx,
Gray
