Paris, At the Beginning of Summer

Paris, At the Beginning of Summer

It started in the Marais, in the apartment of my best friend Libby. A friendship that has only deepened with distance and time, hers spent building a life in Paris while mine unfolded elsewhere. She was the reason this collection found its way to France at all.

Thirty six degrees. Every window thrown open. The air felt electric, charged with anticipation before a single guest had arrived.

 

The flowers were the centre of our collection display, a huge bouquet from Carmin Floral (@carmin.floral). A meadow gathered into a vase. The jewellery sat bathed in westerly light beside it, throwing shadows that did half the styling for us.

A separate table held the catering, dressed in vintage velvet and crochet, butter, lilac, mulberry, under chandeliers picked up from the flea market. Olives, haloumi, figs, cherries, grapes, dates, Turkish delight, baguettes, dolmades. And our branded Eléna Elena cake from Crush Cakes (@crush.cakes), meringue, raspberries, sponge, gone within the hour.

The Love Wall held its own kind of conversation all night, guests pausing to read each of the seven definitions, then turning to find each other, asking which one felt most like theirs.

Photographers, stylists, models and industry gathered to view our debut collection. The room filled with the kind of energy you can't plan for. Bisous on arrival, then again on the way out.All the while, our photographer Emma (emmawright.com.au) moved through the room, capturing the party as it unfolded and pulling people aside for portraits between glasses of Crémant and bellows of laughter.
