Kara and I became friends a million years ago because of an online purchase and the fact that the world is smaller than crop tops were in the early 2000s. What started out as a shared appreciation for beautiful clothing- and I mean any beautiful clothing, whether vintage, second-hand, local, designer or just so damn bad that it circles right back round to good again- turned into a friendship that’s since stretched over both years and continents. Although our friendship and its dynamics have changed over time, the love, support, creativity, care and collaboration that come with it have not. It’s this type of friendship (the kind which words are just too limited to do justice to) that not only inspired the direction in which we took the shoot but is also something I’ve realized has become synonymous for me with the brand Hunter Gatherer itself.
