Hi Everyone,
Have you heard the exciting news? I have teamed up with fellow Southern California brand, Splendid, to create a collection of clothing inspired by my photography and the results are a wearable getaway! It was so fun to work with a fashion brand to reimagine the ways my photography can be incorporated into one's life.To give a little insight, I thought I'd sharemore about how it all came together and highlight what you're not only able to see but to wear!
The inspiration for the Splendid x Gray Malin collectionbegan by immersing myself and Splendid’s design team into my expansive beach aerial series, À la Plage to identify images that really translated into something wearable. Whether honing in on colorful beach umbrellas sprinkling the Italian Riviera or sunbathers enjoying a day in the Hawaiian sun, we focused on images that really popped. From there it was about incorporating Splendid’s classic silhouettes and key styles to evoke vacation vibes for your everyday lifestyle.
The two prints we selected for the Spring collection,Multicolor Umbrellas, Italyand Waikiki Beach, couldn't be more perfect to introduce the collaboration. With pieces likethe Ombrello Teeand matching bikini one can transport to the Tuscan Coast of Italy...
...or if a tropical beach escape is preferred, theWaikiki Beach Beach Tee is more than equipped to put a Hawaiian breeze through your hair.
In its entirety, the collection is an idealmix of lightweight wearable pieces, playful prints, classic nautical stripes, and pops of bright colors. From an array of swimwearto the comfiest of loungewear to the total fashion moment of thePlaya Stripe Caftan, I am so excited for the warm months ahead and to begin having Splendid x Gray Malin sightings while I'm out & about!
Did I mention there is also a small Splendid x Gray Malin menswear collection? Needless to say, I'm very happy with my pieces and encourage you all to take a look for yourself.
So, are you curious about where to find your new favorite go-to items? The Splendid x Gray Malin Collection can be shopped _in real life_ at Splendid'sstores (link for locations) and, of course, online at Splendid's website.
Cheers xx
GM
