Faraway Friend

IMG_1185 copyIMG_1428

There’s nothing quite like going for a walk in the wilderness and getting lost amongst the tall trees – and that feeling is perfectly encapsulated in this collaboration from designer and photographer Rachel Burke and 14-year old blogger Miss Zali. Rachel designed and made the one-of-a-kind garments and took the gorgeous photos, while Zali modelled and then illustrated the playful sprites, creeping vines and beautiful flowers of her imagination, taking us on our very own journey through this enchanted forest. Looking to bag one of these magical outfits for your own wardrobe? The items from the ‘Faraway Friend’ shoot are being auctioned off as we speak, with all proceeds being donated to Oxfam – but you’ll need a sprinkling of fairy dust and a dash of luck as there’s only a few left! Get in touch with Rachel here to find out more.
