OUR CREATIVE DIRECTOR, ALICE, KNEW EXACTLY WHERE SHE WANTED TO SHOOT THE NEWEST DRESSES, JUMPSUITS AND DENIM OF THE SEASON. “I ONCE SPENT A SUMMER ROAD-TRIPPING THROUGH MOROCCO IN A PEUGEOT 205 WITH THREE FRIENDS,” SHE EXPLAINS. “AND I THOUGHT THE EARTH TONES AND THE DESERT LIGHT WOULD COMPLEMENT THESE PIECES PERFECTLY.” AS USUAL, SHE WAS RIGHT.

“I try to be super prepared,” says Alice. “That way, when unexpected things happen I can handle them more easily.” Case in point: When our jewelry failed to show up to the shoot on time, she was able to improvise and make bracelets out of rope. “I felt like a tween again,” she says.

“Sunny but freezing,” is how Alice describes the team’s mornings in Morocco. The temperatures would climb steadily into the afternoon, so layers were key. “We’d go from bundled up and drinking tea to stripped down and worried about sunburn,” she says.
Alice’s favorite part of the trip? The people. “Shoots are so much work, but when you have the right team it feels like the best kind of adventure.” A close second? The food. “I’m still dreaming of a tagine I ate,” she says.
